Owning your own home

Deffo get it replaced, it's not a cheap item and it'll be with you for years.

should be less as you wont be doing under the bath tub

It could be both your land and a public highway. If it's a public highway maintainable at the public expense then the road surface itself will be owned by the local authority which is the relevant highways agency, but you'd own the subsoil. If it's a public highway but not maintainable at the public expense then you'd own the land entirely but it would be subject to public rights of way. The local authority will have a map showing what areas of land they consider to be highways maintainable at the public expense (usually described as a List of Streets). Often available online. It might be worth digging out a copy.

If you were parked on your drive though it would be surprising if that formed part of a public highway.

Anyway, Land Registry plans should not be relied upon for determining boundaries due to the general boundaries rule in rule 60 of the Land Registration Rules 2003.

New fridge coming on Friday.

Aye, that's not including under tub...

Ha ha that is very true!

You can get Clear GRP rooflights that insulate to a high U-value. They are pretty thin and not crazy pricing either. Although I'm not sure if you are suppose to lap them side by side, as they are made for rooflights in industrial buildings.

How long now until moving day?

Better set your alarm

My favourite bit! I thought it was internal astroturf for a minute...

What is supporting the sink?

My favourite bit!

Yes, same. Place looks amazing...but a bit sad, too. Hope someone renovates it sympathetically.

Ahem @Dammit etc

The wall, I'd imagine.

Renovate or knock it down and rebuild brick-for-brick to the original architectural plans?

rebuild brick-for-brick to the original architectural plans?

After carefully removing then renovating all the original internal cladding and features? That would be amazin....

Wonder how it's heated, didn't spot a single radiator in the photos but maybe they were careful about not showing them...

My kitchen work has finally started https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/351228/?offset=200#15731234

I'm already seeing the costs rise as we discover the things that were wrong. The decision to re-cable and re-wire the whole kitchen turned out to be a very good one.

Its all a tiled mdf frame to accomodate some very odd plumbing and a flue coming from the boiler downstairs. Best solution we felt. So the sink its inbuild into that

24 days.
Just popped the range in its place. Lacerated my finger while doing so. Might need stitches. It never rains...

Nice slice there. Hope stitches aren’t needed. Maybe I missed this but what flooring are you going for in the kitchen? Assume you’ll have to move the cooker back out to fit the flooring?

Damn, looks nasty.

If it doesn't need stitches I would try and do without... not sure I'd want to go near a hospital right now.

The kitchen though... looks ace, you're doing a bloody good job.

Looks a bit like what I did to my finger repairing a dishwasher 15 months ago. I went to A&E but turned round when it was queuing out the door. The following morning it was still bleeding quite a lot so I went back. Got told off for not hanging on the night before. Apparently I should have had stitches but I'd left it too long. They stuck it together, added iodine, gave me a tetanus booster and fortunately it has all healed.

Perhaps give 111 a call? They might be able to give you an emergency appointment somewhere. There are lots of medics saying one thing they are concerned about is people aren't presenting at hospital with things they should be and that has bad long-term outcomes.

Yeah will run the floor under the units. Cork tiles.

I think mine is a bit worse than that. I lifted the flap to clean it and can see the white of my finger bone.

'leccy tape, she'll be right.

Definitely hospital. Bone infection is definitely one to avoid.
