nah I'm just a cheap fuker who doesn't likes buying clothes, so I spend some time once to check if they are good and will last me.

thanks, I'm kinda aware of the dark side but still.. :( I don't really care about the branding at all,however if a good brand item costs the same as non brand I guess I will get the branded one if that suggests it has better quality. Btw this is my shopping procedure for clothes- 1-Do I like...

I know fast fashion and all that, but seriously sometimes I just wonder at the prices.. I rarely ever buy new clothes and just buy 1-2 pieces and wear them out till they fall apart, well it was that time again when I needed some new pants as the old ones were worn out and had a look online as...

Found few paints in toolstation which are water-based and promises wonders.. maybe anyone used any of this stuff? and which one is the best from those 3? Dulux Trade Quick Dry Gloss Paint Pure Brilliant White 1L...

Basically I need about a litre or more of nice furniture grade white paint, I know there is Sikkens bl satura which I have been using forever and although it's super expensive it's probably the best there is,however I don't want to spend the money at the moment to order it in as I don't need...

Well I have tried 2 magnolias now so far, the no nonsense one which I had bought previously mixed up together with some other white cheapo paint and a small tub of yellow paint that I had around, just wanted to use up all I had for the mist coat- well to my surprise the tone came out just...

staffordshire Bull Terrier - again... was 100% sure that again this breed before even entering this thread.. When will people learn just to shot them all?

btw what's the most decent underlay for this kind of flooring ( my main priorities are sound reduction and leveling qualities as my current floor isn't the best there is) . the subfloor is made from floorboards (well old pallet boards I got for nothing to be exact :D ). I have 3 options -sonic...

wow thank you very much, you answered more or less everything I wanted to know :) Fairly positive I found where they still sell the same stuff (model number/pattern/package size matches so must be the same)...

Got myself a bit of a random bargain, 21m2 of really good quality 20mm engineered oak flooring, for £100, cheaper than the cheapest laminate out there :D However.. I suspect that this thing has been left somewhere in storage for very very very long time, because the packaging & build of the...

long story short, I need to ask people the area of their rooms from time to time to quote for a job, yet I get a feeling that 70-80% of people I ask to measure & tell me are unable to do this. I mean they just don't know how to calculate a square area of something,usually they just say flat out...

At least I got a decent timber place nearby,no mind games, their timber is always the same price to everyone, yes you can get some 5-10% discount if you buy loads of it at a time but that's it. Beats any Travis/jewsons on prices by a mile and I don't have to be frustrated every time I go there...

I just hate doing that to be honest.. I have a grudge on all the system that everyone pays a different price for everything and you must haggle on a stupid simple items such as a drainage and a box of screws, Why can't I just simply go in a shop and get a decent price ffs right off the bat...

I have whole house to refurbish completely inside&out and since I'm technically in trade was wondering what are the best discounts available out there which are offered by the large places? So far I have got 2, b&q tradepoint - a bit pointless since I hardly ever shop there and their prices are...

aren't those crown paints thin useless watery stuff? Just wanted some cheapo paint that isn't white to do a mistcoat on fresh plaster and to be able to touch it up with a white filler once its dry so I can see where I have applied the filler. + I like to get value for money so If I can get...

I have a large area where I just need some paint to use as a base coat over fresh plaster which will stay there for a while before I get the area ready to finish so just wanted something that can stay there for a while and not look as bad, I had bought in past this no-nonsense magnolia emulsion...

23k for a bare shell is just nuts! building a shell is hardly a rocketscience, I have built a house from groundup and building the shell is one of the cheapest parts there is when you look only at the building materials,however it's a very very tiring work due to the weights you will carry...

yup, but almost all of the reviews were good for that item, scored nearly 5stars, probably because they are filtering out the very bad reviews and not posting them as I have found with other websites.

well got the marshalltown trowel today ,and wow what a difference in quality vs the cheapo trowel I had bought! I covered 2x more area today in 2x less time, hardly any marks/streaks, what a pleasure to work with :) it didn't made me a professional but being a total beginer I can get a finish...

I'm in a bit of a pickle, bought a nice 2nd hand bathroom suite set which came with a shower tray/enclosure, but I have just realised that there is 1 part missing, a metal profile with which you fix the shower panels to the wall ( the one which you drill and fix to wall and than attach the...
