    Getting rid of garden gravel via Facebook Marketplace - What has your experience been like?

    Depends on your area, in some places people will take any old crap! Write potential uses for it in your advert, this might inspire someone to think they need it. Dirty gravel, could be washed in a sieve and reused, or used to fill a disused pond, build up ground or increase soil drainage.

    Is Milliband the new PM in waiting?

    Extension (Roof) Insulation & Downlights

    It's not just builders who are chancers these days, some professionals can be very unprofessional... Happy wife happy life! I think the neighbour would've put me off buying the property before the dodgy insulation job did. You might as well go and live in the garden! I can think of mamy...

    Extension (Roof) Insulation & Downlights

    Was it signed off by a Mr Steven Wonder? Is there any indication of insulation between that OSB deck and the fibreglass roof deck? It looks like insulated plasterboard has been used, this would normally be in addition to a much thicker insulation layer above it, it's woefully inadequate by...

    Soundproofing?

    Fix the door problem first. A couple of fire doors, one for the garage and one for the arch. No point in lining walls whilst you have a gaping hole for sound to pass through.

    Rebuild brick wall

    Maybe. Going by the photos, the poster is not one for hedge trimming. Getting a professional in will likely make for a tidier hedge, and he won't have to deal with the waste. Garden tools in the hands of the inexperienced... I've seen some right pigs ears.

    Rebuild brick wall

    Bin the wall, keep the hedge. Needs a trim though, maybe wait until winter and get an arborist to do a hedge refurbishment. Money saved on a rebuild can be used for that, and a decent hedge trimmer so you can maintain it. Or if you want to rebuild the wall, remove hedge and roots, replant...
