Treeturner what do you mean by barge pole, as in wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole ? Not heard that since my Halifax days

You all make very good points. I'm going to make enquiries to try and get a clearer picture. As some have said the map might not be accurate, and it may be I can get info from the council to ease extension concerns. However the future sale risk and constant worry will be difficult to ignore...

They paid 265 k 3 years ago, I’m now paying 282k. So they either weren’t aware or didn’t think it was an issue. Strangely my solicitor had no comment on it either, I’ll be speaking to them Monday morning and a planning officer from the council. Either way though I’m not sure I could live with...

Tell me I’m being daft but that’s a main public sewer

I believe it’s a couple who are splitting up, been there 2 years. At least that’s what I have been told. I forgot to mention, I had the building surveyed and there is a minor crack in the front brick wall of the house , perhaps 1.5feet long. Surveyer recommended a camera inspection of drains...

I’ve spoken to them, although the lady didn’t seem that clued up. She confirmed it was in fact there but couldn’t give any more information like the size and depth of it. Their website suggests if the pipe if wider than 9 inches they wouldn’t allow development. Even if you could develop, would...

I've had a look online the mens shed seems to be an over 50's retiree thing have i got that wrong?

Will that one plane do everything I need for now? For now just building a bench and a taĺl chair for my son. To be honest of all the videos I've seen the bit if anything I will struggle to master is flattening squaring and thicknessing the wood before building with it. As I don't intend to buy...

Sounds like a mine field buying used there are literally hundreds of listings and they all look very similar to me A. I don't know what a ok/good condition looks like B. I don't know a fair price Makes me lean towards a new set

I'm scouring eBay and there seems to be lots of Stanley and marples sets second hand which is great !! Most of it is labelled "vintage" in I'm not sure how I tell what a good set is and what's in good condition! Help!!!

Thanks for the tips I'll defo check out that shop in Warrington, like you said I might be best seeing and feeling the various options. I've watched a few videos by Matt estlea and he recommends below what do you think Faithful engineers squares And the veritas marking gauge. Also I have a...

Hi I've decided to take up wood working. My initial idea is to begin practising some basic techniques on scrap, before making a rough work bench. I aspire to eventually be able to produce a good quality desk, side table, tv unit and bunk beds. Over the years I have collected various power...
