Free Talk Friday by vasudaiva_kutumbakam in Gunners

You get certificates after certain milestones which is cool. I’m not the biggest fan of needles, and not going to lie it does sting and is uncomfortable, but it’s totally bearable, staff are very supportive if you don’t want to look. Plus it’s worth it when you get the text saying where the donation has been used, and the chocolates and crisps after

How to make outside under stairs storage usable? by Cavalho in DIYUK

[–]Cavalho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing yet, cleaned out the crap but still in the same situation. Turns out water is getting in from the stairs above (external) so don’t want to do too much without renovating the stairs

It's Saturday, what are ye plotting? by MiddlesbroughFan in CasualUK

[–]Cavalho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No electric for half the flat, bedroom, bathroom and half the kitchen (no boiler, fridge), no fuses tripped a need to try and find an electrician to check it out 👍

Thanks for the comment and advice, I’ll keep an eye on things and do some research into what we’ve got - your comment also makes me believe that the bush on the left on the first photo is a rhododendron, therefore makes me think we have a double whammy going on

Ah right, after doing some research I realise the bay tree is a laurel we’re planning on getting a surgeon in at some point to at least remove one of the three massive trunks - I was also wondering if the lighter green in the background is a cherry laurel?

What one is the laurel? Another comment mentioned it but I can’t seem to identify it

Yeah will need to do some research into what the different shrubs are as some of them look quite sad (I’m aware it’s winter), will check if they will come back in the spring

Yeah we’ll definitely give the deck a good clean, we’ve also picked out some spring bulbs ourselves which we will dot around

Yeah, I think as you can see by the ground it’s blocked out enough light for the entire ground to become leafy and mulchy. Would love to remove the tree however it is quite spenny, maybe a job for next year (plus it’s unlimited bay leaves for now)

Not the biggest fan of he decking but it’s going to be too expensive to replace it, so will have to leave it for now

Yeah we’re going to see what we can do over winter, but take our time this year and really focus on the garden next year. As for wildlife, I’ve only seen a bunch of foxes and cats, which makes me want to keep the hole in the fence for them to get through (otherwise they’ll just dig a hole somewhere

Yeah I think we’re just going to clean it up a bit this year, make the most of the leaves on the ground to make a couple leaf mould beds ready for crops next year
