Anyone care to recommend a website, app or software (ideally free) where I can enter room dimensions to come up with a bathroom design?
When we did the kitchen, there seemed to be a huge number of companies that wanted to come out and measure and sell you their stuff. Doesn't seem to be the case so much with bathrooms!

We used imperial and thought they were great. Bit of an unorthodox setup but there's no denying the quality from templating to cutting to installation is 100% there.

My Tulip bulbs have arrived and are going in tomorrow. Need to dig up some of the front lawn for a new bed first. Went for a light / dark / orange lily top combo.

Looks like no pride has been taken in their work tbh. Here's ours in comparison which looks reasonably tidy.
Are they actually a plumber or a kitchen fitter/builder? Not sure asking whoever did that to do it again would yeild any better result. Best to get someone else in.

After 7 years of looking for a Sunray/Sunburst garden gate for our 1930s house, I finally won one on eBay. Picked it up today after driving to Hammersmith. It's spot on.
Will need to be stripped back and painted but that can wait till spring.
Can't wait to hang it!

I planted some Timperley Early in 2022. Really taken off now. Tastes great too.

For our light toilet refresh, I wanted to put some picture rail back in as I've seen other houses in the street with it and liked it. It's very similar to the door architrave but has a larger flat bit and a rebate of sorts for the hooks to hang. I didn't have any as pretty much all original features had been stripped from our house but managed to snag a small amount from a kind family on the street. Took it to Champion Timber in Bromley who machined up 10m for me. Pretty good match.
I've had them make some skirting and stair spindles for me before and they're the dons at this sort of stuff.

New Thomas Crapper toilet arrived for the smallest toilet light makeover. Surprising amount of things needed for a toilet room. (roll holder, spare roll holder, toilet brush etc).

What variety are your black beans?
Would love to give some a try next year.

Have removed a patio, shed and the base to enlarge the potato patch. Have now removed over 5 tonnes of concrete rubble and the end is in sight!
Putting the final 40 sacks of well rotted manure in from the Surrey Docks Farm to get the worms to help break up the compacted yellow clay below. Hard work!

Got some Turkish Sage and Aquiliga to go in. Will get them in this weekend.

Was cooking my lunch earlier and thought my border looked good today. Can go through periods of no colour then all the colours. I've been beavering away since April removing 2 old rotten wooden sheds and bases at the bottom of the garden. Today marked the last big tip run with rubble and hardcore. Total in the weighbridge so far is 4.7 tonnes. Not that I'm that sad that I keep a spreadsheet with dumping totals. Plan is to now dig more sacks of well rotted manure in and then try and design some nice sort of garden down there.
Fence to be done next at there wasn't actually a fence behind the shed. Photo of shit bare soil so I can look back when it looks nice to see how far we've progressed.

I'd love another keyring

No adhesive needed, they interlock so well that they should be in the ocd thread.

Re my previous question on interlocking rubber floor tiles, I ended up going for the Duramat Durastud 50cm tiles with ramps and corners. Lovely stuff and so satisfying to put together.

Tell me about interlocking rubber floor tiles!
I erected (fnar) an Asguard Gladiator 7' * 7' a month ago and slowly moving everything over from my old wooden shed which is soon to be demolished.
I went with the osb subfloor but as I'll be moving a grassy mower and other things in and out frequently, feel like I need something more that's easily wipeable. What are the decent brands of interlocking floor tiles? Anyone else done this?

Socks that have a defined L/R on them.

Heading off to Munich to see ACDC on Tuesday. Back Thursday then straight on a train to East Midlands Parkway for Download!

They're all far too close together because I'm running out of space but got 1 x Alchemilla mollis and 3 x Echinacea Purpurea Magnus in this morning. Quite late in the season but was waiting till I knew a purchased offering would be over the height where it would be immediately mown down by slugs and snails. Need to get the Geum and fennel in too but waiting for the foxgloves to seed andndie off first.

Fox gloves doing crazy things. I've only ever planted wite or apricot ones so these ones must have self seeded. 6ft plus.

We returned from holiday to quite a few through the lawn as well. They don't worry me but the birds and a quick mow seemed to see them away!

Strawberries in the strawberry pot are going great guns. Cane back from holiday yesterday and there was even one ready! Excuse the excitement, it's the firstbtime I've grown strawberries 😅

Just got back from a very pleasant day at the Chelsea Flower show. It's the second time I've been. Geums and foxgloves very on trend this year. Purchased some Felco secateurs. Great day to be alive. Liked this waterbutt with submersible pump. Anyone else go?

Potatoes have broken through and are looking strong! As reported above, the rain has brought a huge no of slugs and snails this year. Have been doing a lap of the back garden c 6am collecting them up. Dispatched into the compost bin.
