That'd annoy me, the grout line not being central! ? Nick told me to mitre bond the trim on. Maybe if you're a dab hand but I couldn't get on with it. Ripped it off and stuck new trim on with CT1. I used clear but wished BT1 had been about back then and I'd have used white.

You can get silver CT1... https://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/C-Tec-Ct1-Silver-5060209630410-Tube-Sealant-290Ml-Cartridge--Silver

Tenant issue and legal position in HMO
Onoff replied to jfb's topic in Party Wall & Property Legal Issues
If Tenant X is receiving monetary gain from the new tenant, aren't they in effect sub letting? That surely is is breach of their tenancy agreement? -

I was randomly doodling and came up with this work in progress for a future, super warm, garden room section. The only thing stopping me going ahead is time, money (£££££ I'd guess) and the probably need for pp that would likely be rejected anyway (AONB)! I've got loads of drawings like this, for numerous projects that'll never happen..... ? I was trying to see if a section was possible using stock heights of timber, pir, plaster board etc without cutting.
-
So in this build up you've a 2 course high void under the wood frame? PIR goes between the floor joists?
-
It is yes. Been through this on his other thread. What he could do with is an operating manual.

Site accident causes visit to police station.

"My cock up!" would have sufficed! ? Presumably you entered the reg incorrectly online? Easily done I guess, small screen, slip of the finger. Then I imagine you get sent online insurance docs etc. If you print them I don't suppose you check them for the fine detail like many. Pretty sure getting a posted insurance cert like in the old days was more likely to be checked. I know I'm going to now! -

Would you be better with a tile type grinding disc i.e not serrated? For example: https://www.screwfix.com/p/marcrist-ck650-tile-cordless-angle-grinder-diamond-tile-blade-115-x-22-23mm/5307R? -

Toolstation and Screwfix also do the tools. Just Google "box rethreader". Or buy an M3.5mm HSS tap off of eBay much cheaper and use with a small tap wrench or epoxy glue into a bit of broom handle. Google "back box lugs" for a multitude of little clip on things for when it's completely stripped and won't rethread. I've often, in the past just rethreaded to M4. -
When I did (& paid for) both fences my neighbours got the arris rail side. They were just happy not to have to fork out and to get rid of the wrinkly tin. My first place was odd that in the old boy who'd had it worked for a landscaping company even after retirement. For years he'd come home with a Co-op bag or two full of top soil. Over many years the garden built up to over a foot deeper than the adjacent properties, held back by the corrugated fence. Had a beautiful rose garden mind. Meant I had to fit 1' gravel boards, 2 deep in some places.

Thanks but don't the bank/building society hold them all the time you're paying a mortgage off? Saying that I've the deeds for one house I paid off. (Thinking I shouldn't still be holding them as I remortgaged).

It's everything around these parts gets scale on. At my elderly parents yesterday and an overflowing ball valve was simply scaled up around the moving parts. -
Is there a norm for which side fence you own on a property? Where would one find such details? Cheers.

Made up a frame out of 145x45. (The ladder frame came out a little twisted as the radial arm saw I went and borrowed to cut housings, well the timber bed it sits on is all warped, means the housing depth is different front to back. I really must fix my own saw for the sake of a capacitor!). Cut out the immediate rot and a bit beyond then smothered everything in Rustins Advanced Wood Preserver. I'll slip in a length of dpc along the front edge and sit the repair section on some of the removed broken paving slabs. I used the Ronseal deck reviver/cleaner. Going to finish in grey, non slip Cuprinol deck stain. Edit: I still need to get 3 lengths of decking!
