We do have a bonfire area but there really is SO much hedging, loads of trees etc that hauling it down to the bonfire area is such a pain. Can't really have a bonfire any close to the house for garden layout reasons so it means hauling everything about 600 feet away. A lot of the hedging is...

Arrgh - was only looking to spend around £350 - not sure I'll get anything decent for that kind of money then.

Does anyone use a petrol garden shredder? I'm thinking of getting one as I'm trying to get the garden in good order so it's looking presentable as we're looking to move - and we have lots of hedges and trees. Looking for one that will shred branches about 1 1/2 inches across as things have got...

Unfortunately, it's catch 22. The vacancies will come up at short notice. We can't get a transfer if we aren't in a position to move, so if everything goes ok jobwise, and then we can't sell the house, we'll have lost our chance and it could be a long while before the job opportunity comes up...

All sold to Roger - thanks for the interest, Phil. Rob

Mrs H has decided that the guest annex that I'm using as my workshop is going to have to be returned to its former glory so that we can sell the house. We want to move back to Somerset, but it's not straight forward transferring jobs etc so we want to move into rented until vacancies arise and...

Unless I'm misreading, I think Alex meant WIP - work in progress photos. It's good to share :D :D

I need to cut an arch shape in an old piece of oak - originally it was part of a very old oak floorboard. Can't bandsaw as it's an internal cut so I need to use the jigsaw. Although it's only about 1" thick, the jigsaw blades are breaking. I've done it before but should I be using a...

I'd be interesting if we could get a group buy for this area

I'm making a grand bird table which will have a round conical-shaped roof which I want to cover with cedar shingle tiles. I suppose I could buy full size and cut down but I expect they are too thick and there would be plenty of wastage through the P?T. Ideas or advice appreciated. I expect...

Jealous!!!! :twisted:

Is there a story behind this today, Roger? Share it with us.

Welcome on board!

Thanks, folks. I'll get some at the weekend and get cracking. Trying to get the house ready to put on the market over the next few weeks so plenty to do.

Our cottage is rendered and painted white apart from the few inches at the bottom nearest the ground. There is a bell drip where the render finishes and the bottom few inches are unrendered brick painted black. This paint is fading and we are doing the place up to get ready to sell. What...

Looks like a company has gone out of business - often that's what appears on the GOI auction site

I own shares in that auction company - Goindustry - so thanks for the publicity. We need all the help we can get the way the shares have gone.

Utter heresy!! All hail the Mac!! \:D/ \:D/
