Owning your own home

Hague Orange tho?

V God

It's just one orange wall - every other wall is 'sell your flat, pronto' white. Or magnolia or whatever it is.

yeah paint your flats white, folks. it's a tough market out there and you'll be surprised how hard it can be to slide a rizzla between someone putting in an offer on your place or the 9 nine others they've seen that day.

Better still. Paint everything white, just as you're leaving the traumatic under 4s behind. AND THEN THROW ANOTHER CHILD IN TO THE MIX.

My white kitchen.

As a 13 yr old, I made some kind of protest against my parents' divorce by painting my walls, alternately, lime green and very vivid orange. Then I covered them with tear-outs from the 3 Maxim magazines I owned.
I remember doing a lot of wanking, playing Civ 2 and listening to Travis.

Not a lot has changed tbf.

I hope you grew out of listening to Travis.

I can't even remember what colour my walls are. place looked ok when I moved in. Left as is.

Only painted place I moved out of to cover the mould

Nothing wrong with orange walls. The walls of my room in Chambers and my office at home are both bright orange. Positively tangerine at home.

Nothing wrong with orange walls?
What kind of animal are you?

Travis. ?

Dave Lee Travis?

Nothing wrong with orange wall

Damn right

Nothing wrong with orange walls

Unsure, if you mean in the same dwelling

I chucked a very nice metallic blue road bike against the orange wall and thought it looked great

no accounting for taste I guess

How things change...

Oh. oh hold on. (WFH tomo).

(oh rats you did that joker yourself).

Classic Gold Amber!

Any recommendations for plumbers in North London? I need a soil pipe/stack replacing and the quotes I've had so far range from a bit pricey to outrageous.

Has anyone done replumbing and wiring on a 3 bed house recently?

Just got a quote from a builder for a total renovation and he's quoting £12500 for complete rewiring and £16750 for the plumbing (including a new boiler), both prices without VAT.

Seems quite high to me!

Yes, seems high.

What condition is the place in?

If you are planning to strip out carpets etc and refit / redecorate separately, it will obviously be easier and cheaper for the trades. Are the current kitchen and bathroom staying or going?

Place is pretty stripped back already - ground floor is down to concrete!
Kitchen and bathroom are being replaced.

Not exactly on topic. Where might I look to find information on how housing association (benefit?) is calculated?
The short question is does inheriting affect this calculation? If so how?

Just doing a 2 bed house now, paying £3300.

Had another stumps guy out today, lovely fella, looks like we need eleven replaced... He seems to be saying $500 per stump will do it, we're gonna go for the hot dipped galvanized steel stumps which will be an extra $50 per stump... That's fine, still cheaper than the last cowboy that quoted us $6000 for seven stumps...

In other news, there's a brand new crack in the wall supporting the front of the house, I think it's my fault it's there... I accidentally emptied a 10,000 litre water tank three months ago and it appears to have caused a little subsidence... Oops... Wonder if this could be an insurance job, might need some underpinning...
