    selling my house - how to improve this garden

    Just have a tidy up, get rid of all the rubbish/de-weed, pressure wash the patio, job done. If the little planters, table and brolly are past it throw them out. Buyers will see its potential.

    Agreed, I use one, it was a game-changer for extending wifi and for a cable connection, it transformed WFH for me. BTW I believe BT guarantee you full wifi coverage throughout your property if you can solve the PC wifi issue such as spoodie's suggestion above (presumably they will supply...
