If you can show that it is the reverse of sustainable, for example, a few planners might listen to alternatives that are greener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To their credit though, they were experimenting with their own money: a lot of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not over keen on them, but I look out onto stony ground, then a stone wall, I think a bit of green, on the shed roof, will help. Not sure how much soil it will need for one of the succulents I have, it seems to grow like a weed on concrete slabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HughF Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 We did not have to bag/wrap our asbestos as it went into the skip, that saved a ton of work. Well worth asking for a covered skip to save you all the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saveasteading Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 You should still bag any debris, for your own benefit. Wet it then it can be brushed up. Otherwise the dust could be the riskiest part of the whole operation.....not that you'd know for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
