Popular Post mayevora Posted March 4 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 4 Finally started white washing/painting the inside of the dusty bare concrete and breeze block garages today - Only been saying I’ll get round to do it for 10 years. I know I’m going to get more satisfaction out of doing the garage than I have from recently doing the whole of the inside of the house - but that could just be a bloke thing lol. 😁 4 Quote Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk - that will teach us to keep mouth shut!

andydclements Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Having had my first Jaffa cake for decades. I have a citrus allergy so I try and avoid anything with citrus in it (smell is enough to get audible creaks from the nose cartilage as the airways inflame). A discussion led me to check what flavors there are now, and 24 hours later, I've been to Tesco and obtained both cherry and Passion fruit ones. At long last, there might be a reason to look in that otherwise pointless 4 feet of the biscuit display. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exeterjeep Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Received my building control certificate for my new roof and a change in the kitchen ceiling from flat to pitched. The kitchen roof was done by one builder and when building control came to check it they found so many problems they almost took enforcement action. Has taken a while to get it rectified by another builder and had a final visit yesterday to say it was ok. Contacted surveyors and architects most never bothered replying at all. Not impressed by them either. The ridge beam was not big enough, the wall plate was on the outer wall not the inner, no vapour barrier and insufficient insulation to meet current regulations. Cavities not closed. Needless to say will not be using the first bloke again. He was recommended by the roofer as the builder bloke does all that sort of construction work for him. So had to pay twice to get the job done. Will now see what my options are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Colin P Posted March 5 Gold FFM Report Share Posted March 5 Some day I might actually get my certificate of lawfulness to change my flat garage/portico roof to pitched. Deadline was 8th Jan. 8th Feb got apology and will prioritise next week. Chased last week, still nada. In the meantime leaky flat roof deposits fibrous chipboard debris on the Evora whenever it rains. Can escalate but that takes 3 months minimum. FFS I hate the fact that councils are a law unto themselves and you just cannot hold them to task. Quote A Lotus is for driving, pork is for breakfast.
