Owning your own home

Think we’re going to go with these guys. They’ve been pretty responsive and the quote isn’t as astronomical as others we’ve had. http://www.jecarpentryservices.co.uk/Portfolio

Currently getting into all the nooks and crannies of the new house - the kitchen needs quite a bit more work than we initially thought. I stuck my head underneath the boiler cupboard last night and saw this thing. There is a vent outside which is pictured below. It doesn't seem to be connected to anything obvious. Anyone know what it is and what purpose it serves?

Thanks!

It's a old boiler flue. If it's not connected rip it out and seal the hole.

I turned the heating off yesterday!
Not much going on in my life so just felt the need to jump onto the Internet and share this with you.

Thanks, they look good!

Discovered my previous owner got drawn up, and planning permission for an extension on my flat but didnt end up going through with it (we found the plans and the approval in a pile of documents we never read)

Kind of tempted to email her and ask what the quote was

Is this thread just about house buying and selling? Or doing work on houses too? I'm never sure if my 'home improvements not being done by me personally' posts belong here or in the Home DIY thread. Thank you please.

It's mainly for humble brags but quite useful if you have a specific question.

hausschuh (sp)

"Hausschuhe" (capitalise because it's a noun and use the plural)

This rightmove advert is worth a look. Each room is differently and strongly themed, yet none dominates - very difficult to achieve this balance, but I think they've managed it.

Actual lol.

unique and quite spectacular [...] needs to be viewed to be appreciated

This is difficult for me too.

Wow

extensively modernised and decorated

I think they meant extensively decorated and modernised

Grudging respect for their commitment. Once you look past the 'stuff' and the opinionated wallpaper / carpet it could be awesome.

I’m a big fan of the mirrored catholic sex room.
