It really has. I've noticed over the years even cheap wood has gone insane. It just seemed like an extra jump with the cladding specially for the very poor quality. What's the point of cladding if it's full of holes lol. i'm popping to a local wood merchant today hoping it'll be cheaper! Im not...

Hi. Sorry if this is a dumb post/rant. We moved into a house last year and some of the cladding on the wooden leanto has started to break down due to it not being treated by past owners. I need to replace about 5x2m lengths. I popped to B&Q (big mistake) and it's about £11 per one.. but it...

Yep. It's defiantly his first language. He has a very thick accent but it is his first language lol Same to be honest. I used to be a laborer and trainee carpenter before I became ill and my gaffer used to advertise on there and used to make quite a bit. That was 10+Yrs back though

We moved last year. The toilet we had then was a modern one and honestly, it would often take two flushes.. However, the new toilet we have is a 'classic' high flow toilet. Honestly, one flush and the big jobbies is gone! Jurassic park!

Hi there! I hope you don't mind me asking. We moved into a house last year and have slowly been doing it up. We have a small cloak room with a High Level toilet (one of them with the cistern attached high on the wall and an actual chain) and we'd (Well, my wife..) Would like to keep it...

Another red flag. He's put off coming out twice now which is why we're communicating via Dm's. I've tried sending him the photo but he says it won't open.

Nor do I. I'm starting to think he either doesn't know what he's talking about OR he keeps making the same typo.

His exact message is "Could you confirm your board has an RCA Breaker? If so we won't need an RCD outlet" He's also called it RCA in a previous message.

Ty! Hope you don't mind me asking but are they the same thing? We're having outside plugs fitted and he's said If our board has an RCA Breaker we won't need outside plugs with it fitted. Other wise we'd need RCD fitted plugs. I tried sending the the photo but he's said it won't open for some...

UPDATE: We've blocked the guy and run. We sent him the photo (At that point to see what he'd say) and replied back it would be £400 PER outside socket. The socket wouldn't be wired into the mains (As we requested) and would simply be a wire coming through the wall and plugging into the socket...

Must admit we've come across a lot of stuff which looks nicked lol! We found a box that had "property of Somerset county council" on!

Bit of an odd one. Last year we moved into the house and the owners father who lived with them had passed away suddenly. She asked if she could leave the garage as it was as she couldn't face clearing it out. We said that was fine. Most of the items in there were gas fitting related (tools...

Hi. Is it safe to remove these archway corners to make it fully square? I'm 99% sure it is but i just wanted to make that 1% extra sure lol They sound more hollow than the walls. Also, what is the best way to do it? Is it just hammer/chisel it out or is there a way to unscrew it etc. Sorry if...

I'm so sorry if this has been anwsered. I have looked but most questions seem to be with 5ft fence posts or have other contributing factors than mine. I am putting up 6 foot fence panels using 8ft concrete fence posts (10cmx10cm.) I currently have a normal spade and a post hole digger. From...

Was worried that would be the case. So assuming it is asbestos how easy would it be to get rid of ourselves? From what I've read wrapping it in polythene, wetting down and strapping up and you can take it to your local tip for free?

Hi there. We moved into a house last year and we have a outhouse. We believe it MAY have been built in 1992 but we can't be 100% sure. I don't believe it is as it doesn't 'feel' like it. The roof 'leaks' due to them coming loose. and i am planning on putting on a solid wooden roof. My only...

Sorry, I just meant if all his panels come down our dog will be able to get out and I doubt he'd replace them himself. So if they came down we'd need to replace them ourselves/put up a whole new fence on our side.

Bit of an odd one. We moved into our house mid last year and A few months back our fence came down in the storms. (left side of the garden). I've just dug all the posts up ready for the new ones and noticed the corner post (which belongs to our neighbor) is on it's way out. I went around and...

Thank you. It's really not easy is it? and this has just made it worse -_- Thank you for your kind words. I think ill pick up a part, for it and see what happens.

Hi. We've had the washing machine for about 3-4 years now but today I noticed a HUGE amount of steam coming out of the draw during a 60c wash. (I am a carer for somebody and their incontinence beddinf needs to be washed at 60) I went to touch it and burnt myself. The draw cover then fell off...
