    New build layout, is this typical?

    I often look at the housing around here to see what's available and for what price. I look at a lot of the floorplans for the GF and think why the heck did they do it that way?

    New build layout, is this typical?

    On the GF plan, I'd swap the bog and the cupboard around.... Never mind, I think they did it that way because the return of the stairs eats into the space downstairs.

    Are you N, S, E, W, or Wales, West Country, Scotland or beyond?

    Whats App

    I find it fantastic. It's my communication of choice. I'd rather use it than email. I can send a simple text message, forward stuff from one person to another, copy text, set up groups, send pictures and videos. You can send someone your exact location, forward them details of one of your...

    New Ensuite Layout Idea Problems

    I have an ensuite that is about 1.6m x 1.7m with a door that opens inwards. Facing you as you open the door is a 900 quad shower cubicle. To its left is the WC, then in the other corner is the pedestal basin and the heated towel rail.

    Diy house rewire

    IDK what he was thinking. Hence the lengthy discussion. But he was not budging. As far as he was concerned, he said, I was a DIYer. I even offered to come to his office in person with my certificates and personal test equipment, but I got snubbed. I'm at a complete loss to explain his response!

    Diy house rewire

    When I was working, I spoke to my BC with a view to a rewire of my gaff. Explained that I was qualified with C&G 236 and I&T with 15th, 16th and 17th updates. Further mentioned that I was working for a company where I was doing notifiable work. The head of Building Control pompously insisted...

    Are all British citizens British?

    I was born in Wales. That entitles my eldest lad to play lacrosse for Wales and my youngest to play rugby for Wales. That must make me Welsh by birth.

    OMG Newcastle.

    Newcastle is named after the "new" castle that was built there in 1080 by Billy the Conq's eldest son. It's high time they renamed the place Oldcastle. Or built another castle and renamed it Newnewcastle.

    Did you throw up on a dog and think, "I don't remember eating that...!" ??

    OMG Newcastle.

    Was wild in the 80s too. Went there recently with Mrs S and me Ma as part of a whistle stop tour of the NE. Went to Alnwick, Cragside House, Rothbury, Seahouses, Durham, Newcastle, and dropped off to see the Angel of the North.

    Diy house rewire

    I was going to say why bother with ring final circuits? 20A radials should be ample. In the 80s, 1.5 for lighting was oddly seen by many sparks as "manly". You were a wimp if you used 1 milli. But particularly today, when most stuff is LED, you don't need 1.5 for lighting.

    Slow going - my double storey extension build

    I don't know how the heck I've missed your thread, but there you are, I have. But now I've read through the whole lot. You and your other half, your mate and not forgetting the pussy cats have done an absolutely stonking job! And what an incredible resource for others who come here looking for...
