My smaller flat-bottom wok does work well on induction

Low barrier to adoption: my burner cost about the same as a tour of bouji London mince pies

Be aware an induction hob will eventually go wrong

Will it? I’ve had a couple over several years without issue

Incidentally, I did a lot of our loft with left over PIR straight onto the rafters - boxes of crap on top of that. If you can find some cheap gumtree PIR might be worth a go, certainly a lot easier and quicker

As much as you can cram in.

Don't actually cram it, needs to be nice and puffy, but yeah, 300mm much better. It's cheap so might as well go all in while you're doing the work anyway

Yeah. Opening hours are 10-6 Tue, Thu, Fri & 10-13 Sat

To be taken with a pinch of salt, don't turn up at 10am sharp.

I’ve been going to Martin James on Hackney Road for years now. Top guy. £14

Top work, best to progress carefully. Less haste and all that

Sad to see it go

The skirting boards for me and my brother's flat remained on the communal walkway the entire 5 years I lived there. No door handles until I bought some plastic shed ones off ebay* after getting sick of closing my bedroom door by hooking my finger through the hole where a handle should be

*was a student, didn't have money for Buster & Punch

how very dare you

Turned the ratty IKEA rug 90 degrees and pushed it up to the door. Best cost / benefit ratio since cleaning the windows

Our place is 1949. While not modern per se, it's been a lot nicer to work on and live in compared to a Victorian shitter

True, perhaps the one thing they actually do when legally obliged to

In this case the idea that they're turning buyers away after an offer has been made is laughable.

Reckon you've 100% made the right decision @PhilDAS. Never know, if you're still looking in six months this one might come up again, with a substantial drop in price once they've had a few experiences like yours.

That's definitely just a steak bake

"open it back up to the market"

lol

Shit is never off the market for agents. If they received a higher offer five minutes before exchange they'd be all over it.

Nice that

We also can't negotiate. We don't have any more money.

From what you've said, there's no way you're getting the full cost of works knocked off by the sellers. Given building work will always cost double what you expect, and you've offered all the money you have, this seems like a simple equation unfortunately

Dibs for a poor student teammate!

I did all the machining for locks & hinges first, painted in the workshop, allow to cure for as long as you possibly can then hang. I made the jamb too though, so didn’t have to trim on site.

Pavilion were our first bouj pie of the season. Drowned it in custard though so couldn’t really judge.

Yes to corduroy but got to be 70s orange or Magistretti red no?

Actually any of the traffic lights would do. Super saturated leaf green would look sick.

Ignore the #buyers. If a dremel is what you have that’ll work absolutely fine. Could glue or double side tape a small access panel in after.
