Mind bleach! Can't erase that upskirt reflection!

Always going to be flogging a dead horse with those solid castle walls I reckon. Once cold they stay cold unless you insulate! I've a complete mixture of wall types here, solid brick, solid block, cavity, one single skin. At least I'll be dead before it's all finished!

Any use? https://www.nwl.co.uk/your-home/your-account/usage-calculator.aspx

Let's be honest here but you well and truely took my Prevarication Crown with all this and argued "I can't!" at every turn. And look how it's all turned out so far! How about this stuff, gets good reviews and good for deep areas. Your Bartoline "cheapo" filler is only good up to 3mm and guessing you haven't much left? If you have though and it's only 4mm I'd do two coats. If none left this: https://www.screwfix.com/p/ronseal-big-hole-ready-mixed-wall-filler-grey-1-2ltr/95289 As for the upstairs pics, looks like we're on this Money Pit house journey together mate!

If a bit deft with the plastering trowel you could do it with patching plaster.

You learn to plaster. Like I did. By watching the 4 videos by this bloke: I WISH I'd watched some tiling videos!

Are you using a coarse enough grit paper? The Mirka comes with a selection of Abranet type sheets but nothing too coarse from memory. Has one of your mice got stuck up the Hoover pipe?

Same as my one?

Check out the Quinetic LED lights and their Wi-Fi enabled stuff. In theory you can say "Alexa, turn on patio lights!" etc.

I saw them in Lidl...didn't buy one though...

Pretty sure I get more than an hour out of it. I'll give it a full charge and time it untiI it dies. I try to make sure like when cutting tiles last night, that I turn it off every time I pop back indoors. When I have been caught out is when doing pipework in the loft. Probably more to do with the time I take to do anything! That Eiger worklight linked above is so versatile. Has built in hooks each end, magnets on strings so you can string it up under the bonnet etc as well as the tripod.

- A few under the basin - Inside the cupboard - Window reveal - top & sides - 2 pockets - sides - Over the door & cupboard though want to get the door frame in before doing that and inside the cupboard. - The bath pocket - Bath deck and tapered sides Starting to think about heat now, getting the UFH loop and towel rad jumped in to the ancient downstairs single pipe CH. That's tomorrow night sorted then!

A bit more done. I actually had to break the ice in the clean water bucket I'm using for the tile saw! Maybe last two pockets and window reveal next. As an odd aside it's been pretty cold in the as yet unheated bathroom. About 13degC. Lots of heat loss at the mo through the ceiling and wall conduits etc. What I found helped was tipping a jug of water down the wall drain to fill the trap. At the moment the waste just exits outside and is temporarily capped with an old aerosol lid duct taped on! Went up 3-4deg by the time I'd finished in there.

Been using my 10W one tonight to cut tiles outside in the dark! Bought it dirt cheap at Electricfix on a whim when I had a book of discount vouchers. It does catch me out and die occasionally. They have 30W ones at work which I'd go for next time. I got one of these last year as a pressie. Superb really for the money. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/mega-led-worklight-with-tripod-was-24-now-10-homebase-in-store-2858502

Can you not suck the parameter sets out of these ASHP units and store them? In case the unit goes down (or someone else wants them). Just thinking what I do with inverters etc.

You can afford it!

Iko Permatec? Massive company, do roof rain water outlets and all sorts.

Did you get felt up? Cromasol White btw sold in Asphaltic branches. Also "Solaflex" but that's twice the price.

Did you get felt up?

Sounds my kinda guy! How old? (Not in THAT sense...unless he's minted! ) You can mitigate UV damage by painting on solar reflective paint direct to the asphalt. I'll take a pic of a can if I have one.

Usually a 45deg fillet at the base of the upstand then an inch thick or more up the sides with a wrap of expanding mesh to support if you feel the need (not essential but do so on a steel post). Needs to return into some form of rebate / tuck in the top. Sides sometimes straight not tapered. Nice lead cap to finish off. ...imho Done a good few plinths like this over the years but always subbed out the asphalting. Top of lead cap usually 6" off of main roof. As the Welshman says, never lost a patient yet! Only got a Sharpie on me...

Someone's been to Erotica...

You can get them with a built in paddling pool...

Pretty common, the white picket fence idea remembering the soft play places I used to frequent with the kids. Round tops rather than pointed of course! You can of course get white upvc picket fencing so no splinters. My worry would be whether that's man enough to be clambered over etc as from memory they see it as an extension of the play equipment! I'd suggest something off the shelf in case someone bangs their head and you can at least claim it's fit for purpose. Good range here: https://www.tekplas.co.uk/?

'Tis why I'll DIY 'till I die! Get yourself a Bricky tool and have a go. Bloke in the video is a good lad who I've had a couple of email exchanges with. Purists will scoff I'm sure. My chippy mates borrowed the "Bricky" and were equally impressed. I've got the original one in the video but they do a double width / adjustable one now. (My gripe with the original kit was the ad said it came with a Marshall trowel and it was in fact a Rolson stamped copy. Pretty good to be fair. I emailed Noel, got a personal email/apology back and got the Marshall trowel sent out along with a load of freebies. The galv "clips" for holding the string line are superb. Now both trowels are worn I can't tell which is which).
