    Sound Proofing

    ps. one more thing. Unless you are planning on spending an absolute fortune then don't think of it as making the cupboard sound PROOF, rather think of it in terms of small factors that will hopefully help the situation, more like thermal insulation. Are you on good terms with the neighbours...

    Sound Proofing

    Hi, I've done LOTS of research on soundproofing and even done some myself. But still, I'm no expert, so take what I say with a pinch of salt. Your problem will be the weakest point in the chain. Any weak points will make the whole process a waste of time and money. Some questions: 1) Where...

    Warning: I got sloppy.

    People, people, people. :sneaky: "Turning it off at the plug" is what's known as an idiomatic expression. As for the "plug socket"... Well, next to where I was working was a socket wrench, a USB socket, a light bulb socket and a model of a human skull with two eye sockets. I was merely...

    Warning: I got sloppy.

    I don't need to be roasted for this, I know I screwed up bad. Everyone screws up now and then. Maybe you overtake without realising there is a blind bend up ahead.

    What do we own?

    Thanks, I do understand, honest. :-) It's just kind of interesting. Imagine the following: You own a traditional four story house, sat on and surrounded by your own land. a) You have PD rights. You create a leasehold for just the inside of the top floor. b) You still have PD rights(?) You...

    What do we own?

    Hi - thanks for the quick replies - much appreciated. It8480 - you say "as well as the leasehold" but that it not the case. When the house was split, only a single leasehold was drawn up for the part that the owner no longer lived in. What we own is then simply the entire freehold. It's an...

    What do we own?

    Hi - any input would be appreciated: Permitted development only applies to houses, not flats or apartments. We own an entire physical building, three stories high. The INSIDE of the top two floors are subject to a 1000 year lease, owned by another family. It has it's own access. There are no...
