Forum opinion on this, we get these patches in our bedroom. My suspicion is condensation, there is nothing on the exterior to suggest penetrating damp, the render looks okay.

The only thing is that it is always these patches and they NEVER dry, even after a heatwave - guessing stained? Why would condensation pick these random spots?

Id be 100% sure it was condensation but the staining is making me question it, however they dont get notably bigger after it pisses it down and if it was penetrating damp id expect the staining to be worse?

Had a surveyor round a year or so ago who was equally baffled but said likely condensation.

looks like you've got a natural bogland as well? make the most of it!

Made a cold frame! Perspex rescued from work, previously covid screens

sums up rabbits tbh

nice, I was looking for some grass suggestions, sounds perfect for what I want and evergreen. Is it worth getting a larger plant or do they grow pretty quick?

what rubber sleeve? this is their official instructions :(

yeah kinda gutted tbh, the desk for example always wants to tilt (obvs) and the only thing stopping it is a half screwed in screw which then rests on one of the string ladders

Naturally the screw has sheared itself off

material cost is probably about £100

Fridge in another room is sort of ok, like a pantry, but no sink in the actual kitchen is crazy.

Sounds nuts but that would genuinely devalue your house as 99% of people would think, agh love this house but I'd need to fit a sink.

basically the garden by st Pauls was looking really good and I want some more evergreen in my garden as it looks totally dead in comparison

Any shouts for the grasses too?

can anyone ID this? maybe Turkish sage?

shims?

about as boring as you can get

40mm will look like a dinner plate as well

nice, been after a ratcheting screwdriver and a new set of allen keys!

back on wrist

I guess the main fear with fitting your own window is if you mess up / dont buy the right fixings etc etc you're left with a hole in the wall

20k for a roof is wild, ours was 7k two years ago

looking good.. Hadn't been wearing it for ages as the crown had fallen out so will be good to have it back!

yeah I love it, in the light it has a sunburst effect but in indirect light its a deep indigo. I prefer the indigo but yeah, do like it.

Cool to see my watch in its disassembled state while having a service

£430?

Nabbed.

The blade it comes with has a kerf of 2.6mm, not sure if it will make much difference but I’ll wait to cut the splinter guard with the blade I’m buying separately which is 2.2mm

weirdly, our house has been quite warm over this cold snap (1905 end of terrace, w/double glazing currently a nice 17C).

we're on the octopus tracker tariff so our gas costs are about 30% less so we've been having it on much longer than norm but still only £2.50 a day.

Half way through insulating loft, upgrading it from <100mm to 300mm so im hoping that improves things further.

I think our house is much colder in the wet + cold than the current dry cold as the solid walls get wet and I believe that draws heat out?

Chelsea are surely screwed when in 2-3 years time they're stuck with potentially worthless assets (which of their signings have worked thus far?) all on high wages, difficult to move on, with the debt piling up if they continue to buy more players each season
