Top left corner. Behind the sort of top trim board They say the windows are in and units sealed, i.e. No drafts. They say old plaster work has crumbled and someone else's job to fix it They have now mastic'd the sh1t outta the holes

This can't be good? New installed window. Surely this should be sealed?

Survey said to replace/repair and make good. Water ingress. Didn't say about a source or method of fix.

The facia I think, looks very tatty

1930 property. Garage is 1980

There's a little balcony that is felted, so maybe that has a leak. I don't fancy overboarding the whole garage so maybe I find the beams and cut the current boards out

I've just moved into a new house and found this (see pics) I'm guessing damp damaged boards. What's the best thing to do to renew them at minimal cost? And I am right to think that those bits of wood are NOT holding the building up (garage has a room above it) Cheers

I'm not sure how leaving democratically serves the 48% who voted to remain. Or leaving the EEA democratically serves the % of Leavers who say this isn't about immigration (which isn't true IMHO). I do know that a bunch of unelected bureaucrats are now going to decide what the deal is (that is...

Sigh

Yeah... Ladder and a plank or a platform ladder thing... Never used one of those long arm bulb removers?

dont ask... Any handy tool suggestions?

the electrician put a pendant in above my staircase. It's got to be 8 foot above the stairs and 6 foot from the landing... Anyone about a nifty way to change it or do I have to fork out for a flexi ladder
