I've meet up with other forum members at the painting decorating show.

I would post letter to the neighbour. Maybe they have a postal divert. Someone must be dealing with post

Feed and weed in the spring. Fertilizer following guide once a month or whatever it says. Cut it long so you don't get moss. Water 3 times a day in dry periods. I think the watering is the big problem as most don't bother in summer.

Do a Google image search of the tile. Very hit or miss though

I was just thinking about insulation. Stops condensation. Up to you. My shower and bathroom is plasterboard and tiles over which I done 20 years ago and fine...

I use the IKEA one. Needs glue when you put together. I can't link but it's called a bekvam step stool Loads of steps stools on Etsy. Bit more sturdy like. www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1561746558/handmade-rustic-pine-wood-kids-step?ref=share_v4_lx

Yeah. I advised mine for free. Some use parts to make a Marley concrete garage bigger. A farmer came and got mine although I had to dispose of asbestos roof

I don't know much about this but I'd be looking at 30mm or thicker Abacus Elements boards. You need it well insulated to stop condensation. You can tile or plaster over Abacus Elements boards. Something to start looking at. Pipes running behind

Oh yeah. Push fit can be a big problem. A cause of many floods

Clean up bricks and mix some yellow sand as and cement 6 to 1. Lay brickes back. Not difficult. You can cover the brick faces with duck tape to keep clean while you do it. Might as well have a go. What's the worst that can happen? Materials are less then £15

CTI Any polymer grab will do it.

I've seen a guy using an electric planner to trim uPVC. 12.5mm is a lot though. That will take the side off frame

Block onerflow. Use a hosepipe through window to blast water in the drain plug hole. If you get water pushing back hold your hand around plug hole if you think that would help to force water down and through. Plan B You need to fit an access point in waste pipe to either rod or use a hosepipe...

Take cistern off. Stand in a bucket and fill with water to test for a leak. I'll add... Don't over tighten the fittings. The close couple nuts and bolts just need nipping up or you will crush the rubber washers. Same goes for Syphon. Its should not leak if you tighten with your hand so you...

Electric planer will take about 2mm off with every pass

Do you have to have the condensate pipe on the outside and if so it should be 32mm and lagged. A bit if pointing over dpc won't hurt.

Depends if it connected. Looks like it's old gas maybe. Get digging down the side

EPR2 french power stations are half the size of Hinckley but still. At 12 billion quid each much cheaper. I read that the last coal fired power station has shut last year I think. So that's the end of that. Others are building coal stations

I stick wood skirting to ceiling with a polymer grab. You can also use thiner timber or MDF. Just emulsion in. If you have a powerful rare earth magnet you will find the plasterboard screws which will be in wooden joists which you can also use. Screw blind to wood

Weep holes could be an illusion. You need to check there is a cavity tray fitted.
