depends on how much you want to do yourself. firstly you need to get rid of all the rubble and other crap. then get some topsoil delivered to fill or level the appropriate areas and then seed or turf ontop of that.

get this one instead: http://www.screwfix.com/p/bosch-gsb-14-4-2-li-14-4v-1-3ah-li-ion-cordless-combi-drill/25293 I've got one and its grrrrreat (as tony the tiger would say)

can't help you with the colours but it really doesn't sound like the way to be doing this unless you want a bad phone line

last time I hired a bloke in a mini digger, he did all the work in a day and charge £180 all in. This was a few years ago mind. I've always been told it works out cheaper to hire someone with their own mini digger as they can often do the job in half the time due to their experience. Not sure...

plasterboarding is very easy compared to wiring. If you are having wires in the wall then they need to be protected by the steel capping. You shouldn't need anything chasing into the wall as the browning and plaster should cover over the thickness of the wire unless you are having some heavy...

would it not be better to remove the rad and fit a larger towel rad?

I would say that you need a new battery

well its more expensive than the dle40 but that only has a 40m range, what do you want to (or can) measure over 40m for the DIY'er except the length of my garden but I won't be paying an extra £30 for the DLE70 just for 1 measurement.

I've had a stihl ms170 for about 10 years. I can't recomend it enough.

I got a stihl ms170 and can say its absolutely brilliant, obviously over your budget tho. I don't rate electric chains saws at all. how will you cut branches to bring home?

I have the halfords pro socket's. They are really good quality and life time guartentee. I snapped one of my hex bits, took it back and they swapped it straight there and then, no questions. I like that you can start off with a basic set and add to it as and when you can afford/need it. I have...

the bosch DLE40

have got one off ebay almost brand new at a ood price. can always put it back on if I don't use it as much as I think. I'm hoping its going to be a great addition to my tool kit

thanks for the replies I think I'm going to get one to try out as I will be doing a lot of DIY in the next few years as our new house needs totally gutting. All my other bosch tools have been excellent so far, hopefully this one will continue this trend. Will let you know how I get on with it

great stuff, thanks again

do you mean one of these? http://www.mastersocket.com/telephone__data__connection_boxes/waterproof_external_telephone_cable_jointrepair_kit_P682.html if so I'll get one myself and fit it, will probably be easier in the long run

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodablasting sandstone might be a bit too soft for sandblasting, depends on how good the stone is really. if its slightly soft and crumbly you might blast half your house away in which case soda blasting would be a good alternative. Or maybe just a jet washer?

depends entirely on what the house is built out of. there is also soda blasting for more delicate stone work
