Just discovered this.. https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1520364/driving-law-changes-classic-car-tampering-consultation-fears/amp Seems like this could catch a lot of things inadvertently.... Bypassing the broken ignition key/switch of a lawnmower. Can only fit an air/oil filter/exhaust/wipers/tyres that performs as good or better than the OEM part? For example can't use tyres that have a longer life but don't stop as well in the wet. Or a shorter life that stops better. Disabling parking sensors because a stone chip makes it beep all the time. Replacing a speed limiter with cruise control by reconfiguring the build spec of the car. Software mods that improve range but reduce performance or reduce range and improve performance of an electric car.

Do you already have solar panels? Otherwise solar powered Ring Spotlight cameras exist.. https://en-uk.ring.com/products/spotlight-cam-solar?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=UK_English_Search_Brand_Cameras_Exact_Google_CPC&utm_content=Security+Cameras_Exact+%2F+ring+spotlight+camera+solar&utm_term=ring spotlight solar&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=UK_English_Search_Brand_Cameras_Exact_Google_CPC&utm_content=Security+Cameras_Exact+%2F+ring+spotlight+camera+solar&utm_term=ring spotlight solar&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4b2MBhD2ARIsAIrcB-SjN6u1r9iJBYlYME7bpPHn044N8l8KUfiIZYu-UN7kAf0_kJIIFXkaAnRnEALw_wcB

Screwdrivers... If you only have a few, the chances of you reaching into your toolbox and pulling out one that's the right type and size are slim. If you have lots, the chances of you reaching into your toolbox and pulling out one that's the right type and size are slim. The optimum number of screwdrivers to have lies somewhere between N+1 and M, where M is the large number of different sizes and types that exist, an N is the number you currently have.

Saws can be a problem. They wobble about and jam in the cut. The key to using a saw is to start with a good workbench so the wood you are cutting can't move about, not even the slightest.

Sandpaper and paint are the worst. You pick up a sheet fully expecting that a few strokes will remove a bit of paint and it just smiles at you and refuses to do anything more than lightly scratch the surface. The paint remains firmly attached. Then when you want paint to remain stuck it blisters and bubbles up, let's in water and allows your windows to rot.

I once had a house with storage heaters that were made about 1995. They leaked too much heat. In the spring and autumn you needed to put heat into them "just in case" it was going to be cold next day. If it wasn't as cold as you expected the room would overheat even with them shut off. Ended up ripping them out and fitting gas boiler and rads.

Perhaps try a fine brass wire brush on the pencil marks? Not a steel one.

+1 bring them out under the eaves/overhang or through wall if you can.

In my experience if you buy wood that has warped in store it will keep warping. Best trick I've found is to run it through the table saw and glue the bits with the curve back to back. Not ideal though.

+1 It's only really food storage cupboards, fridges and freezers that should not have wet UFH underneath.

+1 Either a phased development or two separate planning applications. The former would be cheaper but you must spell out in the application that it is to be a phased development for the purposes of the CIL. You can spell out these will be self build plots. The planners may tell you the plots are exempt from the CIL but even so you must formally apply for it after PP is granted and before you start any work.

Hacksaw with smallest teeth you can get. Turn it so the blade is always at the correct angle when you transition from one face to the next. Possibly put a wood block inside so it can be clamped. Take your time.

They are issued by your local planning department. Unlike PP a certificate is determined only on the law. (Eg has or hasn't development started) where as planning permission is a more subjective process.

Architects are great for specifying things that are hard to find. Where did he get his drawing from? I've seen stuff like this.. https://www.roofinglines.co.uk/product/cedral-cladding-insect-mesh-50mm-x-30mm-x-25m https://www.southern-timber.co.uk/product/cladding-timbers/james-hardie-hardieplank/buying-hardieplank-products/hardieplank-starter-vent/

At the moment it appears difficult to find trades so a price contractor that employs one or two full time staff might be worth considering.

+1 The soakers do all the work. The stepped flashing really just stops water getting behind the upstand of the soaker. So form a soaker with its upstand and put it in place temporarily at several positions up and down the roof and mark a line on the wall with chalk. Then you can see which mortar lines can be cut without going into the area where soaker upstand will be and mark them Some typical dimensions on righthand side below.. 85+65 = 150mm

That sounds fine to me although I think 50mm screed might be a bit thin. Think 65mm is more standard. However i have heard some BCO insist on hardcore, concrete, insulation, screed. Compact the ground before laying hardcore. Perhaps Compact the hardcore in two layers?

Might be worth drilling some holes in scrap to see if the marks form without nails in the holes?

+1 Just seen this which says you can only put alerts on registered properties.. https://propertyalert.landregistry.gov.uk/

Don't forget the soakers..

Outside and there are rules on how near an opening it can be. We have two 47kg cylinders in a metal cabinet hidden behind our garage. Depending on how many rings you have you may need 47kg Cylinders as they have a higher flow rate than smaller cylinders. Our 2 cylinders are on a combined auto change over/regulator device that tells you when a switch over has occurred. Not sure this is essential but I wouldn't want my wife to run out in the middle of cooking Christmas lunch. For some reason most cabinets are a crazy price (£400-£1,000) so shop around. Ours was just over £200 but that was back in 2007ish. Full 47kg bottles are heavy and really need two people to load in and out of a car so perhaps see if you can get them delivered. Plan a route for how they will be moved from driveway to into cabinet. I discovered you can get quick fit connectors that don't need a spanner to dissconnect/reconnect a cylinder. Our regulator is 13 years old. not had any issues.
