  1. I think tiles might be ok if you go smaller. The ones you laid were quite big. Alternatively, can you raise the floor level by 28mm? If so, you could lay a 24mm screed with steel mesh in it for reinforcement, then cover that with 3.5mm microcement, including the 0.5mm “upgraded” plastic mesh for additional reinforcement. Will look amazing, particularly if you pick one of the cement like greys or greens.
  2. Wood planks or clay tiles. Or copper sheeting.
  3. I used to think Tado was great. I now realise it’s not. It’s an ok product, but very overpriced and the marketing is misleading. Good as a basic smart thermostat. Good for logging data such as temperature and humidity and this can help teach you how and when a room loses or gains heat from weather. Good remote features. But all the other guff is nonsense. It doesn’t do proper weather compensation and it won’t play nicely with most sophisticated heating systems, even with Veissman boilers, despite the misleading advertising. There is a law suit there somewhere…
  4. This is a good suggestion, but has made me think I should just look for nice quality cardboard and DIY it.
  5. We have some deep drawers that we would like to store shoes in, in an upright position as this will maximise the utility of this storage. I’m trying to find something to go inside the drawer to act as a divider. The tallest dividers I can find are only 11cm tall. Most of my shoes are almost 30cm long, so this is unlikely to work as it will only support a third of the shoe, although possibly that’s enough. Thoughts? I could make some out of hardboard, but would prefer not to.
  6. “He also ordered a compensation payment of £107,397.37 to be paid to the claimant and ordered this would rise by £40 per day until the work has been done.” This is reporting the payment of compensation (ie damages) not a fine. The £40 a day is the quantification of daily damage, not a fine. The country courts do not impose fines for breaches of contracts.
  7. I agree with this, save with the word “usually”. Really? Fined by whom? The carpet police? Leases are contracts, breach of which entitles the wronged party to claim damages from the counterparty, in this case the landlord. Unless the landlord has a contractual right to levy fines on the other tenant in the lease between the landlord and the other tenant, I cannot see where the power to fine would arise. Even if such a power existed, it is likely to be unenforceable as a penalty clause, given it bears no relationship to the landlord’s cost or to the wronged tenant‘s loss.
  8. Well that would depend on the agreement. Not all lease agreements provide this. In fact, the ones I’ve seen talk about floors, not ceilings.
  9. That's not a bad idea, although then I'd need to find a way to secure the pole, given wind etc. I was thinking of mounting it on a concrete fence post that is quite close to the tree. The pigeons often sit on the fence (literally, not figuratively) before attacking the tree.
  10. I'm no legal man unfortunately. Not anymore anyway. Was struck off years ago. Google brings this up: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a798b42ed915d07d35b655a/ETSU_Full_copy__Searchable_.pdf
  11. I've bought this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00QQTRPXO?psc=1&smid=A08231583FSHJCK2HXZMY&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp Let's see if it does the trick. The next challenge will be how to mount it securely near enough to the tree I want to protect.
  12. The price you've been quoted for that downstairs WC is slightly more than double what I paid in London. Either the person quoting has misunderstood the brief, or they are ripping you off.
  13. I have a mate who can deadlift 160kg. Two of him?
