    Any bike people on here?

    Thanks people. To give a little update I actually spoke to the seller because they pushed their luck a little bit with the description. We agreed a partial refund so we both did ok considering. It'll give me a few pounds to fix it if there's no other problems. Thanks

    Best method for installing floor joists in new builds?

    Thanks everyone, a few different opinions but it seems no one likes the sitting it on the blocks option which suits me. By the way I take it carpenters are getting plenty is work at the moment because it's hard to get anyone to even quote for cutting a roof on this area.

    Any bike people on here?

    I just picked up a cheap eBay mountain bike for my little boy. Seller didn't give a very fair deception if the condition bit I'm just trying to see if the repair is doable before attempting to take it back. I'll attach a picture but basically the right gear shifter was very stiff at the top...

    Best method for installing floor joists in new builds?

    I'm talking about either cuttings the blocks to height and laying the joist on top or bolting wood to the wall and using jiffy hangers? was wondering if there's a better way in anyone's opinion? Thanks.

    Any idea what's caused these cracks?

    No the soffit touches the top of the window frame so hides it. It seems to have been common practice in this area. My last place had no lintels over the outside skin on all windows even ground floor ones. Just had expanded metal above the first course .

    Any idea what's caused these cracks?

    Thanks gents. I removed some plaster above the window and there was a course of bricks layed on the window frame overhanging to bridge the cavity with I assume just the soffit sitting on top of them. Not surprised the plaster couldn't cope. Thanks for your help.

    Any idea what's caused these cracks?

    I'll include some photos of cracks we have. There's one above a window that's on a side wall of the house. I only noticed it when stripping wallpaper off. There's also a fine crack on the ceiling just above which I'll hopefully show. And there's another fine one which is on the outside wall just...

    "Rear sub frame corroded but not seriously weakened".

    I'm seeing this quite a lot on MOTs. Often you don't see it again on the years to follow. Would anyone stay away from buying a car like that even if it says not seriously weakened? And even if it didn't show up again the following years?

    Replacing balustrades

    You'll need a glue that works with metal and wood. Snug holes and don't space them t6o far apart. Does it have to be metal poles?

    Would you work for Gary Neville?

    So you do have to agree with them or you're unemployed. Not a very free country is it?

    Would you work for Gary Neville?

    Your bet that 100% of people were reform voters is misjudged and shows your predudice. People don't like being told what to to. The best way to make someone do something is tell them they can't.

    Would you work for Gary Neville?

    I thought it was a free country. But now you have to agree with the employers politics?

    Would you work for Gary Neville?

    Apparently he's banned builders working on his sites from flying the national flag. And made a video stating white middle aged men are the problem. I would have thought that after supporting starmer, the id scheme and pensioners winter payment cuts alone would have led him to lay quiet on the...

    Is revealing a cars service history a security risk.

    Thanks for the comments everyone. I've now also heard back from a couple of private sellers. One said he'll only show the history when I get there. Another sent paper work. He had said in the advert it was due a service. He wasn't kidding, the last one was 2 years and 50,000 miles ago.

    Is revealing a cars service history a security risk.

    I asked a dealer on auto trader to send a photo of the service history. They said they don't do it for security reasons. I asked for the dates of the services instead but they ignored it. So is this a thing? I would think it's not unreasonable to see this before setting off on a long journey...

    Lots of fault codes

    So, the two that are near each wing mirror are blowing hot. The two in the middle of the dashboard don't seem to be blowing at all. Cheers
