    A jigsaw would be safer, takes longer to remove a limb. Why 9mm pb? Some cowboy ? we had used some and the 12mm walls are much better whether dot and dab or stud wall.

    And now the ban has been canned due partly due to a reduction in water usage as well as lower temps and some rain which means the figures in the OP are decidedly fishy.

    @Ferdinand On your first post is there a breakdown of figures to discriminate between residential and industry demands? And whilst £130bn sounds a lot, it’s not a lot per person per year. On the second point, I’m not making a judgement about the make up of the economy, just making a judgement about those who say that the young should sit at home eating beans on toast for the rest of their lives when the formation of the economy demands they go out and spend their money because otherwise the wheels fall off. Cant remember where but was recently reading how Europe tends to be around 60% consumption whereas we are fast heading toward the 70% of the US economy. Not sure that’s a good thing, long term.

    Oh look, it’s the sweeping generalisation that is the “wasting your money on smashed avocado toast” assertion . Exactly who was it that dismantled the UK economy turning it into a service based consumptive economy? Without the avocado toast and the soya lattes we’d be in REAL trouble... As it happens, I work in “environmental remediation” and I try to make most of my individual decisions with some thought to how it effects things outside my immediate benefit. Which is all I can ask for.

    I’m going to sit my kids down and tell them that because the elderly and the boomers spunked away everything that had, they’ve left us a legacy of deteriorating national infrastructure. So, although they live in a place that is depressingly wet for 99% of their lives they will no longer be able to play with water during the best summer holiday weather they will have in their childhood. Many thanks.

    Isn’t there red showing underneath the overlap not brown as the original colour?

    Some Dulux easycare paints available at wilko, half price, £9.50 for 2.5 litres.

    I bet 1000 of those are nosy build hubbers. Not me I hasten to add. I gave up looking at rightmove a long time ago. bet the bad review comes from a GBF****r ?

    Call a spade, a spade. its a bung to builders and banks.

    And now it is being reported that people are advised to use clean water for their gardens because of the risk of Legionella from water butts. https://www.gardenforum.co.uk/headlines/scientists-find-95-of-britains-water-butts-contained-legionella-bacteria/

    Doubt it. There’s always greater fools who will come along and buy trash.

    5 litre of Dulux Easycare (washable and tough) for a hallway/landing was £30. Here's hoping it does what it says on the tin plastic pot and 5 litres is enough :fingerscrossed:

    Well, United Utilities have officially declared that summer in Manchester ends on the 5th August. Last time they invoked a hose pipe ban in 2010, it rained non-stop for 2 months.
  14. daiking
    Has he supplied you with tradesmen who will work to that detail and not charge you double the going rate?
  15. daiking
    Ta, Wilkos had some Dulux offers a few weeks ago but we only bought a single pot
  16. daiking
    Anyone seen any decent paint offers? (walls finish coat)

    Cheers, so the system works but only as well as the weak link inputting the data

    If you search for the wrong post code?
  19. daiking
    @JSHarris needs to do a post code search to see what comes up. Whether it’s his correct post code or the wrong one on the epc he does have, doesn’t matter see if there’s a pattern.
  20. daiking
    The epc register was at one time great tool to use and it had nothing to do with energy efficiency. When the housing market was slow, agents would try all sorts of tricks to make stale properties that had hung on the market for a time look like fresh new instructions. before the property bee plug in came along searching out the epc for a property gave you the best idea of when the deluded sellers first tried selling and how long their fanciful idea of what a property was worth* had prevented them from selling as they typically got an epc at the time of first putting it to market. (*Or their feckless indebtedness)

    Can you not just search by postcode? https://www.epcregister.com/reportSearchAddressByPostcode.html Or will that not deliver the SAP derived EPC?
  22. daiking
    Not worth filling. The whole lot needs to come down and be redone anyway.
  23. daiking
    That's awful. you're going to need to get your BiL round to skim it again.

    Back in May, Swansea Uni were saying it couldn’t be eradicated ?‍♂️

    Why start now? Just paint the bloody thing. If you do a bad job the poor plastering won’t be so obvious.
