How crucial is dual/ single bevel?

Thanks everyone for your input. My old one was Metabo, brilliant workhorse me. Usage wise I need it mostly for stud work, skirting, framing ect....I'm not a pro! Even so, I do like an accurate cut. I don't have much to spend so dewalt, Bosch ect out of my league.

Looking to replace my trusty saw but no idea which brand to buy. I'm only a DIYer so it doesn't want to be too expensive. Appreciate advice and opinions!

I did speak to my solicitor yesterday but he was very vague....he wasn't charging me so he was pretty brief. Because I don't understand the issues I don't know to ask the pertinent questions. There is a covenant on the property...i think its a clawback if we built a separate dwelling which we haven't done...how would a charge link to a covenant? Sorry, but I'm so dim with such matters!! (I pick up the documents tomorrow from my solicitor)

Yes, I understand that it will expire but can it be extended? What if i peg it begore Dec 25! Why would she put a charge, to what end, what outcome was she hoping for before the 20yr was up? How do I establish the amount of the charge?

Hi, 20 years ago we bought our current house with planning permission to extend from a development company that was an off shoot of the estate agency they owned ( it wasn't a new build). The developer company bought the house, separated the large garden, got DPP and the son bought the plot and built his house. I have just discovered there is a second charge on our property. The second charge was put on by the old lady (now deceased) that the developers bought the house from...so, the chain was; old lady > developer > us. I don't understand what she had to gain from putting this charge on? What does this mean for me now ( my husband died 2 years ago) . I have recently spoken to a solicitor and he believes the charge will be wiped out Dec 2025....??? I'm panicking!! Any advice

I am trying to reach Vallhala with the balancing, haha! I'll keep tinkering. Appreciate your input.

Appreciate your reply, I have to start from scratch?? I suspect you know how time consuming a proper balance is...fair enough. I was naively hoping there was a quick fix ...I have 20 rads!

Hi Do I have to completely rebalanced my heating system after adding an extra radiator? Turned heating on yoday for first time in 6 months and system has all to pot since I added the new bathroom !

It's a bungalow with no walls in the loft, like a pyramid roof. One bloke suggested a pepper pot stack?? Wouldn't climb a ladder and suggested a drone....WT*!

But this only happens when it rains...ftom the West

They have had rats. I'll get that checked out

Hi I have a 1963 rental, traditional brick and tiled roof construction. Never had damp issues before ( we lived there for 18 months before renting it out) owned it fir 20yrs. Tenants have rightly complained of water pouring down from under the coving on the west facing wall. There is an external chimney breast. I can't see any evidence of cavity wall insulation and the flashing and roof have been checked....Any idea what's causing this and who would I go to fir a solution?

Brilliant news! I've past Building control! Best news for a very very long time. Thanks everyone, could not have done it without you!

Sorry for my grumpy reply. I'm just so fed up of jumping through hoops for something that anyone else can do once that golden ticket has been recieved....I know someone who is installing mdf panels with minimal protection and he's a retired fire commander. It's been a long haul getting this house to the point of signing off, single handed and I've fallen at the final fence, I'm exhausted...heyho, thanks for your help guys
