Hope it all goes well for you

Have to say it was @Distinterior that -1st noticed this , the op has checked it though and says it’s the camera angle if I recall.

This is not my field as I’m not professional or do I make windows but I would say how does your customer feel about 2.5 k per window, given your time and effort how do you feel given the hours you have committed so far , if you are both happy with the arrangement then why charge less for the...

Personally 2nd hand kitchens would give the novice installer even more work as there will no doubt existing cutouts and doors that have been hung the on the opposite side to what they req . These issues will need to be addressed . They will also be trying to match up units that may not fit where...

Why would the op bother to waste his and our time on a wind up , he states his ideas were jeered at on another forum so why would he put himself through it again . There are those that exist in life that simply live off the land and some make a reasonable living doing it . If it is a wind up at...

I’ve seen these eco warriors build houses out of them , you would need a few more but judging by how many get dumped around the country you wouldn’t have to wait too long . …

I think you have the determination to succeed with what you have so anything in addition will be a bonus . Good luck - it reminds me of when I was young , had no money so I’d use what ever I could get my hands on - a piece of broken slab as a hammer, and old meat cleaver as a chisel/ plane , and...

I think even with the hammer and chisel you will struggle to achieve your goals . As above a small axe , small bow saw , something to dig with , needs to added to your kit from the start of this journey. Your chisel won’t be much use when it is blunt . But if you want to keep it basic there are...

Why not fix a joist just in front of the fence , a breeze block at each end and 1 in the middle laid on a little concrete pad . Ideally a 2nd joist between the fence and your house wall would illuminate any bounce between the deck boards. You could then do away with the angled brace . You could...

That s my point about designers don’t always get it right . The last one I was involved in was wren - the customer changed his mind a few times admittedly but the final design saw the washing machine moved to the opposite side of the kitchen to facilitate a dish washer . The designer then ran a...

Welcome , and a very honest review of yourself . The stingy bit made me laugh 🤭

Hi and welcome- grumpy or not you will be in good company here 🤗🤗

The install costs are extremely high but so is the work . Don’t go into it blind , other members will have their own opinions and rightly so but don’t rush into it . Consider all the options like company install via interest free credit , getting some help as I said in previous reply, getting a...

No problem- it’s the completely boxed in flues that cause problems, a cover to hide the flue is not normally an issue..

I’d say it’s not for the feint hearted. Aside from the plumbing and electrical and possibly gas work there is a lot to consider. Is it flat pack units or pre built . What condition is are the walls behind the sink ( water ingress) is the plaster sound ? Regs for electrical work has of course...

Assuming that’s a condensing boiler then there is little or no heat emitted from the flue , I’ve seen plenty that simply sit on top of the boiler so nothing in my experience to worry about .a 25 mm clearance should satisfy most manufacturers but if your customer has the installation instructions...

The plastic wall panels are very popular nowadays and quite easy to fit . Obviously the costs can vary but so can the quality. If you want a real wood effect try a company called I believe the wood vaneer company The Wood Veneer Hub https://www.thewoodveneerhub.co.uk The Wood Veneer Hub The...

Do you mean a hardwood door ? A track saw can easily cut sheet goods etc but a router can do so much more so that would be my choice

I think that’s a good point @Jacob makes - the available light in a room can make a huge difference when your eyesight is poor . I do find that I struggle in a dimly lit room even with glasses and magnifying lenses

I have 3 - no 1 is a small hand held model used for read part numbers In catalogues etc ,, no 2 is a stand the stand type that you describe and no 3 is a head mounted type by lightcraft. It has multiple lenses so you can adjust it to your eyesight and a removable led light ..tbh they all have...
