Well it will have been kept cool as there is no way the ufh has been on under there to make it warm .......

Nooo...!!! He’s actually managed something start to finish here, we need to keep it as a record that it can be done ..!

Most councils have a street naming function within either planning or some GIS related department. I’ve just spent 12 months getting a house name sorted, plot had an old name but no postcode.... new name and postcode needed but that requires you to get the UPRN (Unique Property Reference Number) updated with the correct details. Some charge a fee, others don’t, and it usually requires them to consult with Royal Mail, fire service and a couple of other statutory bodies. Names can’t be offensive or duplicated within a reasonable postcode distance. Once they had actually agreed what street the house was on (11 months...) it took 2 weeks to get the name approved. So if I do a lookup today on BT it doesn’t exist but it does with EE... it was on the Royal Mail 48 hours after approval, and a few others are starting to trickle through ...

Now you’ve done the plastering can we get this back on the original thread ......??

Yep... he’s been to the ball..... and no, not dressed as Cinderella ....

Well Will has a tendency to drink anything too ... but taking the old man on at whiskey one night proved a mistake and he had to back down !!

Yep ... Stella Artois ... or roughly translated as act a twat.... Tennants advent calendar is “different”... is that the first beer of the day ..?

He will drink anything ....

Well there is some Tennants Super in there ....... so you are definitely in Scotland ! Think we finished some Belhaven off didn’t we ..? And I’ll leave the Act-A-Twat for someone else ....

That is debatable as if you get the proper pricing it is near as counts as cheap as their “Sale” it’s just that they advertise the lower prices to get the public in. Magnet are the same - open a trade account and you get list -60%, Magnet retail sale is “up to 60% off, which is just trade prices really.

@newhome it’s a bit blurred but I think Debbie took this one ....

But they are wrap around and that helps with glare...

@Stones which oil is that ..? Is it a tinted one ..?

Don’t worry they will replace it for you at a discounted £4K.......

Combine them with a decent pair of safety specs as you know it’s the right thing to do... Bolle Spider https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000MGSK36/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LW1lBbGQTM4PV

Have you checked the small print as BG have recently changed the contracts ... pretty sure they have brought in an age limit on boilers so even if it does go wrong you can now end up with a bill ....

No it was a Solsylva set of plans - don’t seem to be on the web anymore.

Will see if I can find them - was off the net and dead easy to build.

That’s about 5-7% more than DIY kitchens and then there is VAT on top of that I assume ...? Howdens door quality finishing is pretty average for what they charge - cabinets are ok, fittings are all a mix of Hafele and own brand stuff. Lamona is a mix of Candy, CDA and Beko. Ovens are Beko, dishwashers and laundry stuff is Candy. After my recent exchange with Howdens I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole but that’s more about their company ethos rather than the products. Caveat Emptor

Hotpoint at Currys would get you the oven and micro for £550 all in with their current £50 discount code.

Decent wellies, gloves and safety specs as concrete in the eye is no fun ....

I have a small one built of wood - cuts around 300 x 300 and 100mm of Z travel. Made of 4x1 and skate board bearings it’s surprisingly accurate. Downside is the cheapo Chinese driver sometimes skips so I tend to do stuff a section at a time.

Won’t really matter with a foundation but keeping it damp does help. Spray with a hose once it’s started to go green

LPG can come through a wall - if you have a buried tank then the main regulator will be wall mounted outside so work out where you want that to be. Water needs to be planned but it can be as simple as a piece of 110mm underground pipe with a swept bend on it and you can shove the MDPE down it. What are your invert levels on the drains ..??
