Here's the site rep pointing at my plot, and where he actually is on the map

The rhubarb at front of shot is in a raised bed that runs the length of the red area which probably caused the confusion for the site rep. The previous owner of 110a was using the red area so hopefully it will be ok to carry on using it. Does mean I'm a bit behind looking after my actual plot.

Im the holder of 110a but have been cultivating the area in red.

So when the plot rep showed me round the allotments, he gestured to the area and said thats your plot, 110a.

Turns out he actually was showing me the area in red which 110a had previously also been making use of and so now I also have the actual 110a area to look after.

Pros and cons to this.

my diykitchens quote was £2k less than howdens

ah so am I understanding this correctly, it's just one company that makes this type of fake terrazzo tile?

Where did you get them in croydon?

do you have any examples/links?

Whole cut fake terrazzo

what is whole cut fake terrazzo?

@hugo7 terrazzo is everywhere and has been for decades

I actually just want Farringdon station's floor

Yeah we're considering terrazzo with orange flecks but battling with the fact I don't like how fake terrazzo looks up close.

I liked marmoleum but partner vetoed

I think it's just bad photos or tiling as the tiles themselves are fairly normal and flat.

We're also finalising plans for our bathroom, we've gone for a sort of coral/terracotta tile + white tiles for the walls and are wondering what best to pair with for the floor. Not sure if off-white/grey floor tiles will look odd against the also slightly off-white wall tiles. The coral tiles are going to be used either on one wall with the bath or inside the shower.

Feel like size of the floor tiles will also be important, either smaller or larger than whats on the wall. White hexagon tiles are an option we've considered but unsure.

actually I think I ordered a slightly different ones from Porcelain Superstore, these ones were proper shit.

Looked nothing like the pics and had a really bad fake shadow/bevel effect on them and the 'grout' was fake too

On second look yours look like different ones so fingers crossed!

sorry to put a downer on it but I ordered these and they are proper shit

there is damp all over the house but behind/next to the boiler is not one of them

nice, cheers.

Will float that idea.

Ideas on how to box this in while keeping the boiler accessible?

Due to the boiler being so close to the window the boxed in cabinet would need to stop short of the window sill then use a filler piece scribed around the window sill under. The hinged cover for the controls will just have to go.

If we use a hinged door, due to the hinge depths, the door will be slightly in front of the window.

Trying to think of other attachment methods that doesn't involve unscrewing it each time we need access. Too heavy for magnets I think.

What's the plan for the local cat toilet?

A lot were hiding under the cardboard put down to kill off grass & bindweed so I don't think that helps either..

went down the allotment and pretty much everything had been decimated by slugs, apart from kale and Spinach.

Think I was somewhat naive how many more slugs there are at the allotment vs garden. I killed 50+ slugs while there.

Thankfully I have extras of pretty much everything so Ill let them grow on a bit longer and get stronger first.

Is it worse first year when getting rid of overgrown areas?

all of that, I would just add:

• check for any waste that would need disposing of, might be under mountains of weeds
  
• any weed membrane will be a nightmare to remove
  
• when I got my plot, a week later I found out that horse manure gets dropped off on the other side of the allotment and so its about a 10 min round trip for a whellbarrow of muck.
  
• size, you might get offered a half or full plot, how much time do you want to commit to it?
  
  

Im not sure I would have changed my plot anyway as the others were overrun with brambles which would be a much bigger task than the nettles and grass on mine.

how much? max out a couple of credit cards with 0% apr for 24 months?

I'm not sure you can apply agile methodology to physical buildings with expensive materials. Rolling back software is minimal cost, undoing a wall is labor and wasted material?

😂 very good

My acer has got smaller leaves this year and a small amount have also just died off. There is one large branch off the main trunk that looks totally healthy with normal size leaves. The rest are about half the size.

Any ideas? :(

perfect thanks, and can you use one for both kitchen and bathroom?

what's the system called?
