    Concrete slab for cabin

    Correct 2.5m3 - Use mix on site lorry. Only pay for what you use plus probably a small delivery charge

    The nervous wait to exchange....

    Getting ****ed off with our vendors and their solicitors, we have had 2 proposed completion dates now which have fallen through. Had a phone call a few days ago saying everything was sorted and when I chase theirs to instruct mine to begin suddenly there are issues again with the property they...

    The nervous wait to exchange....

    Indeed, the sellers agent has them linked on their website. When the offer was accepted I enquired as I thought it might be a good idea that all parties were with the same solicitor but after having a call back from them where the guy sounded about 15 years old I stayed clear!

    The nervous wait to exchange....

    Suppossed to complete yesterday. Sellers solicitors decided they are still looking at something and havnt responded to me, the estate agent, my solicitors or the vendor in a week. Useless. The seller should have known. I mean who uses someone called "premier property laywers"!

    Carpet costs and fitting costs

    Agreed, then again the place I visited is also their warehouse and they will be ordering at a rate closer or less to what I can find online. I think I will try to negotiate. There is something to be said for the ease and their relationship with local fitters etc. I think I'll see if they will go...

    Carpet costs and fitting costs

    Can anyone who has had carpet fitted recently advise on the cost per m2 for fitting? Ive seen a range of prices suggested online from 3.50/m2 to 25! Also has anyone found their chosen carpet cheaper online and either negotiated with the shop they found it or decided to order the carpet...

    Can you re use mot sub base ?

    Yes that completely fine. You will get better compaction with a mix of fines in there as well. This is perfect time with the weather to do this work. In construction crushed material is always dug out and stockpiled for use back filling later. Are you planning to cast a new slab on top of this...

    How can i bodge this leaning fence?

    Looks like its between two walls? Set a new post on the inside, wait for the concrete to gain strength and then use timbers to "strap" it back?

    Google Nest Hub Max - What to do?

    Good evening. I recieved my new upgrade today (pixel 4xl) and was suprised at the size of the package only to find a free nest hub max included! It was a nice surprise but I'm wondering if this is a bit of a gimmick? We put it in the kitchen and obviously its nice to play spotify and make...

    The nervous wait to exchange....

    Hi guys, looking for some advice on buying a house that requires roof repairs. Is it a done thing that you request the vendor pays for the cost as part of the deal rather than reducing the actual offer price. I.E. getting cash after a quote? Survey has shown the roof is at end of life and at...

    It's proving tough to make a decision. So far I at least know what I'm after tool wise; Lawnmower Mini chainsaw Hedge trimmer Strimmer Recip saw Cut off saw Jigsaw Multi tool/mini grinder. Looking at reviews on which. The bosch lawnmower gets top marks on cordless and the other brands are...

    Which cordless power tool range?

    Hi all, looking for some feedback from those of you who use any cordless power tool range. Theres a few tools that I want to buy and thought it would be a good idea to keep to one brand for the cordless flexibility. My Dad has a lot of ryobi but they seem to a bit low duty to me but have a...

    Concrete driveway advice (pics included)

    Truly shocking work. They should have at least cut the old concrete in a straight line. They didn't even bother to place a sheet of ply or polythene against the brickwork while pouring. They also didn't even finish it. Thats just a rough tamp prior to finishing properly. I'm afraid that is a...

    First build in 10 years. Help

    I hear you on the graphics however what advantage does the amd build give over the intel? Same price pretty much with 9700k. Benchmarks suggest +10% with the 9700k

    First build in 10 years. Help

    Not 100% settled on intel but this needs to last 5 years, maybe a graphics update a few years down the line. The AMD line up also confuses me somewhat. Last AMD I had was athlon 2600 I think. This pc is for gaming, work (CAD programmes) and a little photoshop.

    Cider - proper scrumpy farmhouse styles

    I hear your quest caff. I'm still trying to find a cider I had years ago. It was a dry rich scrumpy, very smoky and woody and an almost bright orange colour with plenty of sediment. I'd reccomend Wyld Wood by Westons but only if you find it in the 3L box. The bottle version is not the same and...

    Game FPS benchmark website

    Many years ago I used to use a website that has many many game fps benchmarks of basically all the graphics cards and I can't remember or find it! Any ideas? Ideally looking for 1440p stats though which seem a lot harder to find. thanks
