    Is this the flogging scam products forum?

    Oddly. And it's true. Mods aren't here as much as some of us. I mod a site and I can go days without looking so I think it's down to exposure. If you hit ignore after reporting the post, it disappears so that's the best thing to do.

    Interlocking log cabin gaps & twisting causing water ingress - flexible sealant or structural fix?

    I don't think you will move that. I've got several patio slabs on a plank ATM so they don't scratch the new slabs under. The plank is a bit twisted and the slabs have made no difference even with the weight

    Water filled foundation trench

    I hired a pump for the 4 days before inspection. Sun came out and dried it mostly before concrete. Not a problem but was stressful when it was hammering it down. I got the wrong type of pump as well and couldn't get it to prime in the shallow water so had to swap it.

    Asbestos underlay

    Not noticing asbestos companies means they either didn't know or never cared and got rid of it. It's possible it was tested and was fine. Always worth asking neighbors.. I've ripped up loads of underlay over the years from old houses. Can't say I even considered it could be asbestos

    Fill valve ideal standard toilet

    Looks likely you can. Turn water on. No need to get it tight when you fit new one. Just a gentle nip up. You need to get water out cistern first with sponge and dry up. Get that inlet off. Get that far and it's all good
