Well...where does t'north start then ? Iwas told everything from the watford gap up was north. I been to carlisle. i know thats up north cos it took 5 hours by train (football special that didn't stop anywhere else). Jeeez i thought i was scotland. Couldn't understand a bloody word....ha

aye... the old forked tongue comes in handy for when i head north. I have friends that live up in watford pffff

Ha...indeed i'm just trying to get me senn out of t'corner lass

As you say it is late ..your northern...and i'm feeling a little inebriated. And will no doubt regret speaking so openly about my 'crackers' in an open forum. Maybe someday everything will come out. But for now lets think about how sooey deals with his 'crackers'...lol

Wellll...my mystical metaphorical sentence could be interpreted that way as i do indeed have rough hands. I've accidentally torn up many nighties..........i should stop wearing them really...ha

oh yes maam. Not as much as when i used ralgex by mistake (it was dark). That livened the unfolding events up somewhat. You should know though that i am a bricklayer that works without gloves.

yip....just in case i get lucky again....ha. Fail to prepare = prepare to fail.

Good find this. 4 days without a wash. I wonder if you re-apply it after the 4 days you could get away with one bath/shower per week ? Total bonus. I wonder too if you spray your mouth with it you could get away without cleaning your teeth for 4 days to. This means i can have an...

You should see this wall built by a plumber....lol. Honestly a kid could've done better.....ha. And a bit of pointing....couple of metres of weatherstruck...done by a gas fitter....omg what a joke. Then the other day i came across a patio laid by an electrician. Bright spark he...

I have a Vauxhall Vivaro. It is a superb van. Drives really well. It has the bonus of three seats in the back as well. Very spacious, quiet, and comfortable. I am a bricklayer and have carted ton bags in it. Pack of bricks in it. All sorts of materials....RSJ's/concrete lintels, mixer, my...

Freddy mercurys twin....pfffffffffff. Steady on there. I'm only giving my opinion the same as you are. No need for insults. Just because someone else offered some advice there is no need to take such offence. Chill out. Have a slice of pizza and a drop of coke. The guy needs...

Theres comprehensive answer for you. Not sure it's good advice for someone who doesn't know what a purlin is but hey....who am i ? Talk to an architect and find out how much cost will be involved. He should be able to give a ball park figure. Then decide for yourself wether or not it...

Talk to a couple of Architects. They normally have close links to a structural engineer they trust and vice versa. They are well educated and smooth talking so have your wits about you. Don't be rushed into agreeing to what 'HE' wants. Listen to what they have to say then come away, without...

Noseall......ahhhh the good old days huh ? Your post brought a tear to my eye. I wonder where my pure wool tye is. Much better these days when a group of shirtless herberts in shorts and trainers turn up on job giving it large. Mind numbing repititive tunes blasting out of a Makita radio and...

I would do a strip footing 500mm deep and 200mm wide. 11 courses of 7nm blocks is gonna weigh a lot. I would lay a membrane on top of the oversite lapped onto the top of first course of blocks. And do the floor seperately. 125mm thick should be plenty strong enough. I would also put some 10mm...

As previously said i would get a couple more quotes. £34,000 does sound a lot. To give you some perspective a new driveway can easily cost you £5,000. A new car can cost £20,000. And it will depreciate very quickly. If you know a good reliable trustworthy bricky get him to quote...

It would be a good idea to check the breast in your loft (especially if raining). You may find signs of damp on your rafters. It would be good to check your flashing around chimney stack. To get up on roof and check it thouroughly. If you're not good with heights then use binoculars. The only...

Rogue customers. Shame there isn't some bloke riding around on a motorbike showing them up and repeating their names over and over. Some of them want you to knock your price down so much. I walk away. Quality comes at a price. Quality will save a customer money by having a job done that will...

Probably a fully intended 'leak'. Just to keep them pesky lib-dems in line.

Are you doing the conservatory base yourself ? I built my conservatory base with a 600mm high dwarf wall around (thermolite blocks to inner leaf). I fixed kingspan insulation boards in the cavity'. I did a concrete base for floor, with membrane under and lapped onto inner leaf, followed by...
