Thank you Mointainwalker. I did wonder if changing the windows would be the main planning issue, that's a good point to bear in mind - all that glass is definitely going to have a greenhouse affect! I wasn't sure if drastically altering the appearance of a building, ie, replacing the...

Hello, I've been emailed the details of a house for sale I quite like. The only major gripe I have at the moment without seeing inside for myself it the exterior appearance. It's a typical 60's/ 70's 3 storey townhouse and I'm not really a fan of the white cladding. Would there be...

Thank you misterhelpful. I did a mock up on the ikea kitchen planner and it did seem to look ok. But now I'm in two minds! The glass front cabinets come with glass shelves and I don't know if I fancy the children slamming cups down in them! Making my own combi's was getting a bit pricey...

I'm not sure I'd put ivy on the house walls either, I've got it on fences and in pots, but not on the house. It's not necessarily because I'm worried about damage, but worry it might get out of control and block gutters and the like eventually. According to my plant book, hops grow well in...

I just realised what you did there, Alarm, thank you very muchly. :)

I think I may have put this in the wrong place, sorry, I'll see if I can find the right place now...... Oops, I can't work out how to delete this and I don't want to repeat myself, so I'll leave it be for now. Or should I just get me coat....... :oops:

Hello, I first joined this forum what seems like an age ago for some very helpful advice regarding an extension. Plans are at appeal stage now, but I can't live with my kitchen any longer! We are planning a budget kitchen that may or may not be extended in the nearish future, but it could be...

Thank you all, we've had a loss in the family, so I'm sorry not to have been back, but I will read the latest comments as soon as I can. Everyone has been really helpful. Take care all for now.

Thank you too Noseall for your suggestions. As suggested, it might be wise of me to get outside input from someone who knows what they are doing before we go any further. I've been looking into so much I think my eyes will start bleeding! Maybe it is time to consult a professional who knows...

Thanks Jeds Our neighbours are seriously thinking of extending at the moment, it's been useful chatting with them even though our plans are quite different. Our revised plans are for a roughly 4.5 x 4.5m side extension slightly set back. Previously we had been looking at a larger floor area...

Well, it is certainly going to take me a while to absorb all the comments, but can I say a big THANK YOU for all of the replies so far! It is certainly quite a daunting prospect for newbies like us, especially after the stress we've just been through, but I will have a good read through all of...

What a fantastic forum! I’ve looked in a few times recently, and seen some really helpful posts, so thought I’d register and see if any of you could offer me some advice. Ignore the name, I’m female btw, so go easy on me! We had an insurance payout after a critical illness claim for me, and...
