    2 block walls with insulation - use different blocks or same ?

    The only thing I would suggest is not to clad it with wood. You are just making work for the future to maintain it. Have you ever seen an old shed that still looks good years later. To me cladding is just another passing fashion. Get the brickie to point it properly.

    Hisensne WD3 Washing machine drum not turning.

    Current experiences with car servicing?

    Dynamic pricing should be made illegal as far as I am concerned. Lots of hotels and airlines do it and it is a bl**dy cheek. Hope Tesco don't start increasing prices when they are busy.

    Trying to replace basin tap's cartridge

    Is that a screw going through the front of the tap. you will probably need to remove that if it is. If not you need a box spanner or socket that will cover all the flats and prevent distortion as you undo it.
