I am assuming it is buried under the ground as it is not visible so unfortunately I am unable to post a picture.

Thanks for the advice mate will crack out the sledgehammer and grinder tomorrow.

Could someone please help me with this as it is forecasted to be a nice day tomorrow and I really would like to make a start. Thanks

Thanks for the help everyone, really appreciated.

Sorry for bump but would really appreciate any advice you could give. Thanks.

Probably more in London but in Glasgow it ranges from about £140 to £180 a day. If you are competent at doing it yourself you can hire one for about half the price. I even seen one you could hire for £130 for the week. If you want to keep cost down do it yourself and ask your neighbours...

Hi, I have recently demolished a porch at the back of my house. This porch had stairs that took you from the house to the garden and built into one of the stairs was an external drain. I have demolished the stairs as I intend to deck the back garden but was wondering what I should do with...

Hi, I am about to build a small retaining wall at the back of my garden as I want to level the garden. I want to keep the cost down as I am on a tight budget, so was wondering if someone could recommend a good concrete block. I would like to paint the block and also need to waterproof it...
