Yeah ! Keep the carbon troglodytes out !

Should point out the smart kept breaking down . Cost 3k 7 years ago - so very cheap motoring . Just needed something reliable and EV . Don’t care I never own it

Yep . All perfect for me as my mileage is low per year . Maintenance package also - so no worries about that . Just charging it for free as we speak .

I can’t afford it either . As someone else said ‘leasing’ is the game . I hate cars anyway as the devalue so fast ....

Nah . Leasing the batteries always seemed like a bad idea . All in now . I love it ! - but then again I’m comparing it to a smart car ....

Zoe is where it’s at ?

Should I mention I’m half underground?? Don’t want them not being told that to use it as an excuse for not paying out

As I’m nearing the point we will be moving in what buildings insurance should I look for? Structurally it’s complete but assume a ‘regular’ buildings insurer would have a problem with the project not being signed off and complete ....

You won’t like the answer but you could go underground and ‘garden’ across that section ...... ?

I have no shame

A dremel and a lot of time

Ordered ???

The sink has no overflow . Should I just ‘fill’ the overflow connection on the strainer ? ( cap it somehow )

I bought a very cheap sink . Assumed it would have have drainer and plug . But of course not ! . The hole seems rather large - 9cm ; this standard ? . What type of drain fits this ??

Result! Thread CLOSED!

Bought 7 unit off eBay ( will obviously be crap ). Bought a sink and mono tap for total of 30 quid ( will be crap ). Now looking for 6m ( in 3m lengths of cheap worktop ) and yes "will be crap "

Finally went to Howdens ; what a waste of time. Deal had ended and it would seem adding the cheapest 'extras's' anyway would push the price towards 900!. Was in there about an hour being jerked about ( so that was ok ) New rooster bollocks deal March 22nd ( though I'm not meant to know that ) but no guarantee of price . Going to buy cheap ebay crap then make shelves/worktops from trestles and scaf boards. A TRUE self build ( i.e. shite ) kitchen .

Rumours are now that due to the extreme heat of a functioning ASHP and the warmer weather he opened one of his 1st floor outside opening patio doors .... bit of a fall ( fool ? )

Tried to PM him but I’m blocked ( guessing everyone is ) . Last I heard Zoot had died of hypothermia......

Let it not be said that my emails are not effective. IQglass will repair the door for free and in essence agree ( how I read it anyway ) that the guy dealing with our install was a knob . If anyone wants me to send abusive but factual emails I’ll do it for free - because I’m kind ( and enjoy it ) to anyone I should add ! Not just IQglass . Neighbor, the council ( my favourite as they are lying (expletive deleted) ) , lovers , even that guy you hate at the end of the road - he’s sure to be a (expletive deleted) wad . Equally anyone on here ?

Can I mix these ? I’ve run out of standard pb for ceiling ( 12.5mm ) but do have some ‘water resistant’ pb ( also 12.5mm ) . Can I mix these ? Will the plasterer care ? . I was wondering as they are different they might dry at different rates once plastered and maybe increase the risk of cracking .... ?? ?

Lol ! I’ve got them all on a spread sheet . Reckon I’m 3 years away from complete finish . So means total build only took 10 years ?

Can I ask . Do we think Hmrc are more vigilant the larger the overall vat claim ? . Does some poor sod really look through every receipt ?? . I’m upto around 600 at the moment ?

Unfortunately he wasn’t as skilled as you may have thought . Cynically he can wait for it to fail and get another call out fee . As many of us have found most trades think they are doing a good/correct job yet they aren’t . In my experience about 75% don’t do it properly ( though it may work ) or cut a corner to save them time .
