    Thanks for this topic, I may have to invest in one of these for my boys rugby boots which do not smell pleasant. and my car... and the wife’s car...

    It’s a belief in the Norse god of NIMBY who would smite you for so much as looking at his house.

    Did he get his felt?

    Don't you prefer @Onoff‘s MVHR bong idea?

    Didn’t it used to be called a ‘Building Society’? Before they all became Parasite Societys

    I much prefer the monty python corollary.

    You would be a fool to give any credence to their offer at this stage. Lots can happen in 2 years. If you’re happy to rent to them for 2 years you should. If not, then don’t. Don't make a convenient decision for yourself (2 years rent) and frame it as though it’s someone else’s fault that it didn’t turn out as you dreamed it should in 2 years time. That, I’m afraid is the harsh reality.

    Liked apart from the bit about tenants. If Dave wants to sell then sell but that ain’t working so he likes having the tenant’s rent coming in. If Dave wants to rent it out then rent it out but don’t blame the tenants for whatever comes down the line. The landlord is supposed to be the professional here. (the only landlord I like is served in pints and is brewed by Tim Taylor)

    Bargain of the week if you are near the stock: http://www.wickes.co.uk/Makita-DHP453RAE-18V-Li-Ion-Cordless-Combi-Drill-with-2-Batteries/p/145295 Makita LXT cordless with 2x3Ah batts. Use black friday code for £85. Can only see stock in: Scunthorpe, Grantham, Grimsby, Wallsend & Perth Could be useful for someone

    IIRC, very easy to squeeze which is useful if you have weak wrists.

    Right, I've started doing some research and comparing the screwfix and ffx kits at approx the same price, £220 vs £223 Screwfix is a DHP453 and DTD146 whilst FFX is a DHP482 and DTD152. From here and here, it suggests the ffx deal might be slightly better value. Although probably negligible difference for evening and weekend warriors.

    How have you upset the neighbours? its not like you crashed into their car a month before moving in did you?

    @PeterW Is that the £220 Screwies offer for the Drill and Impact driver in white?

    Excellent, another design area I've completely jeffed up.

    Talk about the pot calling the culturally misappropriated kettle black indeed

    That’s just a mistake not a deliberate one. Does everyone notice these last 3 handleless kitchen images are surfaces that shouldn’t show fingerprints?

    I can’t see how Steamy has done anything wrong given the context of his post.
  18. daiking
    Exactly thats how it should look. I got told at the time we could have the rails or the drawers but not both
  19. daiking
    No Disappointed by you The oven carcasses are not handleless. Deliberate choice of utility over design so we could get the bottom drawers in that Alno style. The drawers should have handles but don’t.
  20. daiking
    What pray tell are fingerprints? See if snyone spots the deliberate mistake

    I recall something like that on the £100k house too.
  22. daiking
    When it inevitably goes on the market in a couple of months, you could ask.
  23. daiking
    You’re not the only one.

    Didnt happen last night. That’s exactly how it works. The problems is finding the correct fit and profile. What I can see happening is that something else won’t fit so I have to change that, and then another thing and then another thing and before I know it I’ll have had to replumb the entire f*****g thing. its working at the moment so don’t jinx it.

    I had been away for the weekend and back to civilisation today. I may whip it out later. i am now needing a very thin washer of that type to fit the white waste pipe, presumably 38/40mm whatever it’s supposed to be. To be honest the grey pipe work barely fits on the waste pipe so wonder how these are supposed to be fitted. The grey compression bit barely moves 30mm up the pipe. It’s like that pipe has been tapered. The sink so presumably the waste trap too is a rangemaster Atlantic kube I think.
