Of course I'm serious - I'm an accountant. :twisted: http://flattaxes.blogspot.co.uk/2008/11/tax-reform-remains-high-on-russias.html http://www.newworldeconomics.com/archives/2010/053010.html latest news http://www.rzd-partner.com/news/2012/10/12/382374.html

It probably works out cheaper than sending it to landfill.

Actually the Russians did it - stopped a load of fiddling and raised all the taxes they needed.

Thanks. I have the full CAD plans on pdf which I can print out. The letter I've drafted is using section 1 of the Party Wall etc Act 1996 (Example letter 6). The internal layout has changed from the drawings - does that matter? I don't think the elevation shows the drop of the first floor...

I'm having a single story extension as well as a loft conversion built by my brother who's a builder. We've finally agreed the layout (no planning agreement required) and I'm trying to draw up a party wall agreement with my lovely neighbours. Is the below plan sufficient for agreement purposes...

Then give everyone a quota. I actually wrote to the energy minister a couple of years ago proposing that and that the government set the tariff, anything above the limit is game for excessive charging. There's nothing in the Energy Acts that says the government can't do it (and yes I did read...

Thorium reactors are the way to go. They are a lot safer than uranium. I could have one in the back garden according to this http://www.thorium.tv/en/thorium_reactor/thorium_reactor_1.php

I'm starting this next year http://www.tobaccoseed.co.uk/index.html No added chemicals and no tax.

I'm interested in this as I'm going to do a loft conversion on my Edwardian eot house. I'd hate to have the original doors changed.

Use Irfanview (google it) it's free and is great for resizing etc.

I did this with the front part of a grand piano lid. Wonderful size (fitted the printer on there with space to spare), sadly I've had to reduce my working space due to shifting things around, but I'm hoping to have it back again next year.

I do a fair bit of diy from replacing a sink, changing light fittings, putting up shelves, painting, laying down floors, fixing the washing machine (have Haines manual) and glazing. My Collins Complete DIY is a constant source of information. Big step up from the rickety dens and wobbly...

That's not very useful; the whole area is infested - our local shop runs out of mousetraps on a regular basis. I was thinking of a washer behind a screw, the soffit fittings I've found are miles too large for my purposes.

I was in a similar situation 10 years ago when house hunting. We took a structural engineer round with us and a builder friend. They noted inadequate joists, lack of front velux windows, non-fire reg doors. Their opinion was that if care hadn't been taken on these essential aspects, what else...

Hi. I live an old end of terrace house with a ton of air bricks down the side, air gaps and inch round under the doors (front & back) and fancy air bricks under the windows (again front and back). I have a mouse problem every winter and thought by using stainless steel soffit mesh over the...
