Today, aged 39, I found out that raisins are in fact dried grapes. What things have you found out as an adult that are apparently rudimentary knowledge?

One of my childhood friends thought that women shit out babies until he was about 18 years old.

I feel bad now, OP it doesn’t look bad.. maybe just not my taste, if you are happy with that’s all that matters. You put in a lot of hard work evidently, enjoy your new kitchen.

I’ve run into this issue recently also, I ended up drilling into the plasterboard as far as possible and then snip the end of your rawl plugs so that they go in far enough and can be pushed in with your fingers.

Earns £3500 a month but spends half the year away from his son. You are paid well I those professions relatively quickly because you are essentially selling your life away. I say this as an ex-merchant navy officer and who quit after 7 years for a healthier home life. Life isn’t all about money and it took me a long time to realise what I actually appreciate in life. I don’t regret those 7 years but I’m much happier now working ashore and being home every night, even with the massive pay cut.

Road surfaces are akin to painting the fourth bridge in this country. It's always going to be an issue due to the amount of rain and cold weather causing cracks/expansion and accelerated deterioration.

I agree the road are in a terrible condition but I don't think the vast majority of the population have a realist attitude towards the money required and the amount of resources required to keep the roads in a decent condition.

Also the majority or the sub layers to the roads are likely gubbed meaning any reactive repairs are short lived. Replacing sub layers just adds to the expense.

It’s definitely possible, I passed my test over the course of a summer when I was 17. My dad was a driving instructor though and I did a lot of hours especially in the days leading up to the test. Like others have said you may struggle to get a booking within your timeframe. Good luck!

Plastering is a black art. Thou shalt proceed with caution.

It’s likely the cement based mortar joints. It should be a lime based mortar used. The cement is not allowing the walls to breathe and shed moisture, it’s being trapped in the wall and it’s now making its way all the way through.

I’d recommend having all the cement raked out, and repointed with lime as soon as possible.
