    Property Compensation Consultants

    It's about 60 yrs since electric came to N Antrim, hard to believe it's so recent. My Father allowed EBNI to place a pole in our back garden to service three houses. For this he was paid £1 to cover the first 20 yrs of rent. I think it's up to £8 or 9 per year now. I look forward every year to...

    Converting a new shed to a workshop….by a newbie

    I'd raise the shed on runners, just an inch or two unless there's standing water. Waterproof membrane works both ways, a fact often forgotten. What size is the framing, I'd maximise the insulation to the framing size. A very good question. An insulated wooden shed can get very stuffy, I'd...

    I drove one for a while. It caught fire. Totalled it eventually with the assistance of a reckless farm labourer in a large tractor.

    The joke works without Arby's. Swmbo got it very quickly and she's never lived in North America. The "This little piggy" rhyme is well known in the UK. Would even work at Tesco's deli. :):):)

    DIY window shutters?

    I made up plantation shutters for the living room a while back. I discovered when thinking it out, that solid shutters take up a lot of space when open, or when being opened and closed. If you're going to the trouble of making your own I'd go the extra mile and make the plantation ones which...

    Shed extension.

    If you are working on your own, you might prefer to frame first and then clad. If you have help then I can't see it making any difference, except that you could make the panels inside and your time exposed to the weather would be reduced. Assuming you have somewhere inside to fabricate the...
