    Blocked toilet - tried everything

    Got a plumber out in the end. It was blocked further long under my neighbours driveway. It appears theres only one manhole for the 3 houses in the row (nothing on my property). To be fair sorted now - £40. Bargain. For future reference, where does your responsibility end and water companies...

    Levelling garden for pool?

    20ftx12ft Bestway one. Looking at the garden its not that bad. Not measured yet but probably only falls away about 3 inches or so. Still need to do. Anyone attempted this? Or better to get a pro in to do it properly?

    Can I claim against builder for damage? (Ed.)

    Well insurance paid out on this. They did try to recover from the builder but he denied it and it looks like they can't be bothered. So its cost me £750 excess plus, of course, my insurance has gone up. Worth pursuing the guy through small claims? Apparently he doesn't have any insurance.

    Painting ceiling after water leak

    Could have been worse to be honest..... No bulging but of course a stain on the ceiling now. Will I get away with just painting over the small area or, generally, does the whole lot need to be repainted?

    Half upstairs lights stopped working

    Nothing changed recently..... I thought I'd fixed it yesterday but its still flickering/off-on. Got a light fitting in the bathroom - the wires looked a bit burnt. I took it all apart and re-did the wiring and it seemed ok but nope back again. I'm wondering if its the actual light fitting now...

    Half upstairs lights stopped working

    So Im guessing its a problem with the wiring somewhere half way around the loop circuit. One light came back on for a few secs so its wiring loose. Trouble is say 7 lights upstairs, 4 not working. So I guess any after light 4 on the loop is not working. Out of those 4 which one to start at...

    Buying house - all things extensions

    Couple of questions:- 1. Additional toilet. Obviously the main one feeds into an existing soil pipe. Is it easy (or even possible) to put a toilet in say bedroom3? I see there is a drain access outside the window down the side of the house. 2. Building another bedroom upstairs. I guess would...
