Hi thanks for replying, high risk of failure could be costly? Do you mean dangerous if it gave way under foot? I don't have access to anything to cut it and frankly not sure I'd trust myself to use such equipment.

Hi I have a step in my back yard that needs repairing. So ideally given my abilities I was thinking I could fabricate some simple shuttering out of timber and infill in with a readymix concrete repairer such as https://www.toolstation.com/blue-circle-quick-repair-concrete/p35292 I could possibly...

Hi there, a bit of a sanity check please. I have a 1970s property that has an existing side extension as per the image below. (BTW the front is at the bottom and the rear is at the top) I wish to build another side extension encompassing this existing one as per the image below. It is my...

OK the link above works now.

OK guys what about this chappy, it says its Windows 10 Pro. https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/search-results/ Dell Vostro 3581 I assume the software I linked to will be compatible as it states it's a home edition https://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Student-one-time-purchase-Windows/dp/B07FYRSS4Q

Hmm OK but if we're saying any domestic laptop I buy is going to be S mode I'm not sure where that leaves the likes of me, my specialty is not IT so not sure where to go now, which kind of brings me back full circle and I'll end up putting the notion on ice and procrastinating about which...

Ahh so is the one I linked to an S-Mode too?

Ahh now this windows S thing you mention is just the kind of thing that I want to avoid, I also take on board the storage, continuing on my quest for a Dell I arrived here Dell Inspiron 15 3000 FHD 15.6 Inch Laptop - (Black) Intel Core i3-7020U, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD, Windows 10 Home...

Haha oh yes, my kids are a nightmare (wife's not much better) leaving a trail of abandoned trashed tablets, phones and kindles in their wake, I've been nagged to get a family laptop for years and have avoided it for this very reason but the eldest is at the point now where it's going to hold him...

Thanks, yes those sentiments are where I was coming from, I wanted something that was well built and will last a while.

Thinking of getting the wife/kids (6 & 10) a laptop. It will primarily be used to browse the web, for word and I guess the odd PowerPoint presentation as the kids get older and need to do school projects. At the moment the kids just need to log in to various maths/english websites for online...

Hello all, I have one of these room stats and it’s worked fine for years without any trouble. We got home from our hols yesterday and went to click the temperature up and found that the temperature buttons are non-responsive. The programme button responds as does the + and the – buttons. So I...

Hello, I live in a terraced house, No. 48 on the map image. At the rear we all have a kitchen extension of varying sizes and a small yard, maybe 15' x 10'. We each have a private drain that runs into a public sewer that runs down the back lane that separates our properties to the ones to the...

Thank you both especially wessex101's very clear response.

That's a fair point though if the planners make a visit (as it cannot be seen from the road so they may well do) they will see that the extension is just a shell and the existing drawings do not actually reflect what is there? Or do you think I should be saying to them in say a covering letter...

Hi ^woody^ thanks for replying, the single storey bit would only be up to about 6ft obviously with no doors/windows internal walls etc, so you're saying show that as a existing? A half finished shell?

Hi Guys, A quick question for you, I have planning permission for a single storey rear extension (about 1/3 width of existing house) and a double storey side extension. The side extension is nearly up to the roof wall plate level and will continue until completed, the foundations for the rear...

Seems about right to me, mine was very similar to that though your bathroom is bigger, refitting a bathroom actually involves quite a lot of work. I posted all the costs I paid in a thread I made on here. http://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/bathroom-project-what-the-plumbers-did.432049/ In mine...

A small update, the shower tap is kind of working OK now, they popped back to mess around with it, unfortunately I was not able to be there so don't know what they did, though I know they turned up the temp of the boiler even though it worked fantastically for the first week. And of course they...

Why's that then, if you don't mind me asking? :)
