You could get them back to add more concrete? Or carefully dig on your side and expose the face of the concrete and add some post mix yourself. How long have the posts been up? It’s not good to wiggle the posts if the concreted hasn’t set yet

What brand is the post?

is the newel square at the base? You could easily cut a bit out of that joist on top and a bit at the side to get a good fit. It’s a shame it’s veneered. Unless you can get veneer patches from the company.

I can’t believe that a large chisel and club hammer won’t shift that? Or a mattock...

I seem to have buggered that as well! Hopefully I will get it sorted soon. I live in the same house, have the same practice and phone number. I work with IT, so it’s a mystery to me how everything’s messed up.

Have you tried a spade? Photos would help

I thought I’d changed emails successfully but now am locked out. You just loop around Hopefully nhs it can kill the old account to allow the new one to take over

Anyone had issues with the NHS App when changing details? I tried changing my email address, ended up locking myself out and trying to open another without a new email. I get so far but get stuck in a loop. It accepts me, but I get so far and it says I already have an account and to log into...

We are already one of the highest prison populations in Europe, We also have one of the oldest prison estates in Europe, with many failing to meet habitation standards. The UK has a high recidivist number - basically we have been doing it wrong. Prison in the UK is meant to rehabilitate, not...

That won’t work. I doubt if even the type that is intended to be set in concrete would work. You can buy extensions for spade drills. In the long run, it’s easier to use an Sds and drill out the concrete

4x2 timbers are basically like narrow fence posts

These days you can also get plastic posts made from recycled material.

My shed has been where it is for 40 years. It’s sitting on bearers on what was just grass. When it. Was delivered, although it had been pretreated, we slathered the bearers and base in creosote. Then the panels as it was assembled, making sure that the hidden parts were covered. It was a good...

I always thought (am a DIY) that the MOT needs compacting, then about 50mm of compacted sand. The DPM sits on the sand or the MOT will puncture it. Could be wrong!

Don’t you need sand as a blinder before the dpm?

I would lift some more boards to enable a better view. Are any rooms elsewhere in the house boarded with similar that could be borrowed without showing. You could take a sample of the board to a reclamation yard to find similar. Then either use boards from upstairs to fill the hole, and...

Pretty much that. I’d buy a wheelbarrow and use something like a large planter or tub as a collector. You could use a hosepipe to wash. Either work from one end to the other, dumping clean material back where it came from, but leaving a defined working strip for access. Use a tarp to collect...

You can “wash” gravel and get rid of the soil. It needn’t be a difficult job if you make a sieve like frame and gradually clean it. It’s daft to remove gravel just because it”s dirty and then replace it.

What are the measurements now?

Freeze the bearing for several hours at least. I can’t tell if the housing is removed from the trailer? If you can bung it an oven, heat it. If that’s too risky, domestically, a bucket of boiling water helps. Or a hot air gun? I’d use a threaded rod and draw the bearing in. However, if time is...
