After some advice please. Planning a chunk of work on my bungalow and one of the things we're planning to do is plant a permanent Christmas tree in the front garden that we'd like to illuminate at appropriate times of the year. Having a cable trailing from the tree to the house ranges from not...

You don't want to know how many times I've said that. And I've got 10 in the house currently. One's going to live in Florida in a month though.

Our Bichon looks a mess most of the time. She's only a pet though.

Are there any restrictions on where a gas meter box can be installed? Is there a guide anywhere? We don't currently have gas at the property and just trying to get my head around where things would go if we got a connection. It is in the road. Neighbours just got connected.

Don't need brushing and don't moult. They're a gubber to dry after a bath though. And I've got 6.

My big girl had a photo shoot last year.

That would probably be a Komondor. Was it white? They’re the wolf hound to accompany the puli sheep dog.

Indeed, but that’s already in as mentioned above. In fairness the house was toasty warm during the beast from the east so it’s obviously man enough for the job today. One other thing that I forgot to mention above is we intend to open a self service grooming salon so our hot water consumption...

I currently have an ASHP in my bungalow feeding radiators with an immersion heater to top up the DHW and it's on E7 electric. We're planning on adding an additional bedroom and extending the dining room. Current levels of insulation vary from OK in some rooms to dire in others therefore we're...

I've put a few posts on here and I'll no doubt have more in time so thought I'd introduce myself. The username Kistelek is my kennel name and I breed and show Hungarian Pulis, a small Hungarian sheepdog with dreadlocks. Here's a picture of my boy having a go at Agility. Billy Agility by Kistelek...

Just the stuff I upload

There is a Village Development Plan for the village where my bungalow is, with the boundary of the village running along my boundary. At first glance this, along with the county council's anti-urbanisation regs, would seem to preclude me ever getting a change of use from Agricultural to Domestic...

Interesting answers everyone. Thanks. I'll sit tight on my empty roof for now I think and see how the technology develops.

My bungalow has a mass of south facing roof and is currently Economy 7 electric only heated with ASHP. I'm interested in getting solar power, along with something like a Tesla battery to make the most of my free energy and, with the latest software it seems, cheap night time power. We don't have...

Hereford don't use it. :(

I'm hopefully soon going to be looking for a builder to put an extension up along with a bunch of other work on my new (to me) bungalow which is about 3 hours away from where I currently live. Normally I like to hire tradesmen on word of mouth from people I know who've had good service at a...

And after I posted, I thought of an additional question someone will know. If I build the wall to a metre high, if I want to put some wing walls up to the gates which would be 5' high, do I need planning permission for them as they go about the 1m mark? The gates are set back from the highway...

I could but I don't need it any higher. It's currently about 300mm and the front of the garden drops off quite steeply to it. Just want to re-build it to about 1m and backfill to reduce the slope to something safely mowable. I've been looking at retaining options. A friend yesterday suggested...

I wish to have a new boundary wall built at the front and side of my bungalow property. I know it has to be no more than 1m high next to a highway. Q1) Where is that measured from? My side (about 18" higher) :) , the road side (who knows where that is. No kerbs) or the middle of the road...
