Thanks for your reply. Ill just leave the weeds alone and any moss. Ill cut the grass today at the higher setting and get the autumn feed put on the grass. I will try and get a hold of a edging iron, i agree it makes a lawn much more appealing. Many thanks. ;)

The tenancy agreement says to keep the gardens, pathways, lawns, hedges, rockeries and ponds (if any) regularly maintained and in good and safe condition and as neat tidy and properly tendered as they were at the start of the tenancy and not to remove any trees or plants.

Thanks for your reply. There is no tools left for looking after the lawn but it will be sods law there will be something there to hold me responsible for the lawn, i have not had a look through the agreement yet. My deposit was just over £1100 and yes it is in one of those tenancy deposit...

I would like to agree but seeking advice would not do any harm. Im sure most peoples lawns got similar problems too.

Lol that sounds worse . My landlord can just say its not like it was when i took out the lease, i can tell by his attitude he will screw me in any way he can. Im well aware it would improve itself with some feed and weed come the summer, but its now i need to worry about im afraid.

Many thanks for your reply. Is it worth still putting down the lawn seed or will it have made no improvement in 1 month. I can easily get some autumn lawn feed, should i feed the ferrous sulphate as well as this?

Thanks for your reply. Well i suppose it was in better condition when i moved in. I have not read through the lease to see if it says anything specific. I was going to give it a light cut at the highest setting, also clear out all the leaves. Maybe its not clear in the video but it is rife with...

Hi Guys. Im going to be moving out my rented accomodation in 1 months time. My back lawn is in a poor state and the landlord is likely to ask for a re-turf or something extreme. We have had a few run ins so he is not going to do me any favours or be sympathetic. The spell of hot dry weather...

Thanks for your reply. It wont get this bad normally, usually these units should last a long time if kept dry, this was a display unit and it was not looked after. It would cost too much money to replace the panels and make it not worthwhile buying this bargain. So yes i will need to fix it how...

Hi Guys I just bought an ex display black Red Sea Reefer 450 (5ft/1.5m) fishtank and cabinet for a bargain price. I knew the cabinet and doors had bad wear and tear but i thought i could tart it up a bit. When i got it home and looked under the cabinet i could see the bottom of the end panels...

Thanks for the compliments, flattery will get you far. I like the idea of pussy covering the gap ha ha Many thanks. Shhh dont tell anyone its our secret ;) The top rail was hollow in one side oddly and i wanted to make sure it could be easily dismantled in the future. The top rail wood was...

Sorry for the delay in getting this done but i had other things to do, you know how it is. Anyway i got this bed built at last and im pleased to say it is very sturdy indeed and you really need to push hard to make the joint flex. I ended up with a little gap at the top but it was hard to avoid...

conny thanks for the heads up re that review, i read your reply before going to b&q, i went to B&Q yesterday knowing it was not the size stated, sadly as i forgot my wallet, we only had enough to buy one board and i could not buy screws either, i may have some screws but not the heavy ones i was...

This has been suggested but i dont have the gear to do a proper job, i was going to make this plan B if the fitting of 2 thick boards did not work or is not rigid enough. Will this wood do the job please see link, usually b&q are mega for wood but these oak furniture board are the right length...

Its not my house so not possible to modify anything, i private rent.

good idea it will never fit up my staircase The oak is too expensive at nearly 100 quids inc vat and about 80 for Indigbo wood. Cripes that a lot for a couple of bits of wood.

Well someone replied and said it does come flat packed however many other places sell it and list it as fully assembled, i have emailed them back to double check as i dont think the person did anything more than check the info on their screen rather than check with someone who does know.

I am waiting on a place calling me back with a price on 2 pieces of oak 180 x 1300 x 25 and 120 x 1200 x 25. If its going to be a bit expensive then i will try another hardwood. Using pine looks a bit cheap in my opinion, i would like something better for aesthetics lol. To the comments already...

Ok guys many thanks for all the info. I will get a hold of some hardwood and screw it on very well using heavy screws and a lot of screws, the wood will be as long as possible to help with rigidity. Will my local wood supplier be able to supply me with some kind of hardwood suitable for the job...

Im afraid i have to keep the repair simpler, i dont have a shed or work bench, im kind of restricted to a handsaw, drill, holding things by hand, screwing and so on. I was intending to add a bit of thick hardwood to the back of the top and bottom rails, making it nice and long to hopefully avoid...
