Owning your own home

Yeah, that's what I said last time, auto reply rule is a good shout actually, I'll do that.

On the other side, two bailiffs turned up at our new house on Tuesday looking for the last tenant (property was vacant for almost a year after being sold to to someone who refurbed and flipped to us), so an interesting week all round.

Can someone copy and paste the LFGSS home owners checklist please? Need to check my current score.
@Tenderloin ?

Wonderful, thanks.
Feel Terrazzo has a place on that list, and Hague Blue is a bit West London/Tory no?

West London

sorry does not compute - I don't speak narcissism of small differences AKA london

Never heard of it. Dont like it.

People from West London look down on people from other parts of London the same we we all look down on people not from London, the only difference is we are right and they are wrong.

They sound like right tossers whoever they are.

Don’t you have it on a Notion board somewhere?

God, I missed a trick...

80s, pot plants, Stoke Newington, and the Guardian online yes.

The rest no.

Some asides. My sister owned a copy of 1000 Thousand Plateaus, but I never read it.

Also, my mother-in-law saw Stewart Lee cycling down Church street this week, and sent a family whatsapp saying he looked 'red-faced and somewhat chubby'.

Also, are there elite universities that are not Oxford? #golf

All this stuff those Insulate Britain clowns pretend isn't a thing

What makes you think that? ("pretend isn't a thing" not "clowns")

I think I found the most @chrisbmx116 thing ever!

does that pleb; user cozey have a website for his place? I think not

On the subjects of LFGSS owners checklist.

I have an unopened 5L tin of Farrow and Ball Setting Plaster estate emulsion. We paid 89 quid before my Wife decided she had changed her mind on the colour.

You can't return it, so anyone want to save a few quid at 60? I've moved to Faversham in Kent, but I'm up South London twice a week for work and can bring it with me.

filling the roof void with spray on insulation that then prevents any form of maintenance

My mother, who is doing up her Georgian boomer pile to sell and downsize, had this done.

The place is now unmortgageable for buyers, who only had a limited pool of mortgage providers that would lend on a property with two addresses.

New roof time...

So many boxes ticked, do I get a prize? I did go to Oxford though.

Durham.

I did go to Oxford though.

Q: “how do you tell someone went to Oxford”

The examples you use to my mind are an example of why there should be intervention in the construction industry to make it a well regulated, licensed profession. Not the current set up where it's easy to hide a lack of competence and knowledge with a brass neck while merrily ripping customers off selling inappropriate solutions and products.

There is no reason to not retrofit insulation into an old property. It will never be as effective as insulation in a modern property that has been designed from the outset to be well insulated but if it is specified and fitted correctly by people who know what they're doing it can drastically improve the energy performance of a building.

Anyone bought through Trading Places agency? Any idea what their modus operandi is?

Think big, think positive, never show any sign of weakness. Always go for the throat. Buy low, sell high.
