She hasn’t bitten yet but I’m patient and eventua...

Re: Outbuildings and why they're great. (Vanport)

How old is the old Lino JB ? Lino used to contain asbestos so if it’s from before 1999 treat it with caution and be extra careful not to create dust just in case, should be as safe as houses and free from the asbestos but just in case.

Re: Wind proof bin store

Can I just have a sanity check with other storage heater owners please - I'm fixing my storage heater to a solid stone wall and the feet of the heater will stand on a short pile carpet with terracotta tiles beneath and then under those is the concrete floor. The installation says to cut slits in the...
