    Car reg after a private plate?

    Thanks To be clear I did mean that I wondered if the plate would have influenced any search for crash damage under its original / now plate.

    Insulate garage door and fill gaps at side

    That’s what my concerns were when I did mine. Mine is ok I believe that you can increase the tension by rotating a spring using a rod to rotate something. That’s outside of my experience Be warned that they have a lot of stored energy - I’d be very wary of DIY At least check out some YouTube...

    Al-Shami towards Jericho is good if you like Lebanese A mate of mine spent a few months in what’s now that hotel - although he didn’t have to pay. The natural history museum and Pitt Rivers are good. As is the Ashmoleum

I fitted polystyrene to the metal faces using double sided tape covering the whole thing, using foil tape to join the sections together. Then I used the slim silver insulation fabric to cover the door, it has to be...

    Disturbed asbestos

    I would hazard a guess that it might not be artex? It looks more like that gritty ceiling paint that DIY sheds sold. I’d carefully take a sample and mail it to an independent tester who doesn’t have skin in the game

    Disturbed asbestos

    The risk is tiny You’d do more damage to health by doing anything than leaving it alone Artex had hardly any asbestos and it’s safe where it is. Worst case some duct tape over the damage is good enough. DO NOT vacuum any dust. Simply mop it up with a damp cloth and stick it in a poly bag in the...
