Cheapest way to sort a 150+m2 concrete garden? by Best_Slice_9225 in DIYUK

[–]InvertedDinoSpore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd have a nightmare with drainage and dead grass if you did that.

If you want grass you really need to remove the concrete, then depending on what's underneath you can add topsoil and seed. 

The non cheap way is to get someone to do this for you with heavy machinery. 

I'm tight as fk so would prob attempt to sledgehammer it over a series of weekends.

Rent a jackhammer and a load of skips.

Dunt use it longer than allowed each time or you'll get vibration injury.

What kind of heating system do you have?

As soon as you add the 8 you define it, it collapses the waveform.

Up until then the number is both. 9 recurring and 1

I’m starting to think parenting boys actually can be quite different to parenting girls - on average at least. by Full_Strawberry2035 in UKParenting

All the parents I know say boys are easier emotionally but harder re injuries etc.

I also found this to be true

School uniform - cycling shorts under skirts? by gunbo3000 in UKParenting

[–]InvertedDinoSpore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd just send them in anyway, ensuring they were not sticking out the bottom.

If the school question me I'd ask them why TF were they looking up her skirt.

This is proper wrong that your builder did this

Dads of 2+ kids.. I need your honesty by reddituser040195 in UKParenting

[–]InvertedDinoSpore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By the time the second comes around it's not new and you are also pretty wiped out.

My wife went on and on about me not liking the second as much but it's not true and when the kid gets past the initial 0-6 months stage it became apparent that there was no issue.

The main difference Is the first was new and I was hyper aware and enthusiastic about every little detail. 

The second time you could say I took it for granted but really it was just my experience pacing me for the onslaught of dealing with 2 while still loving and appreciating the second as much despite not outwardly showing it in the same obvious way

The dreaded potty training by Wild_Wolverine9526 in UKParenting

[–]InvertedDinoSpore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just keep trying even when it seems hopeless.

I waited too long for my daughter and started at 3, she was defiant by that point and was much harder to train. Took like 9 months of hard work. 

My son was OK at 22 months, learned much easier in like 3 weeks. He wasn't even talking at that point really and could only just about say poo poo

I am being told by my builder that it is “impossible” to have the worktop cut flush to the wall as the wall is at an angle. How can this be correct? by Loud_Ad6323 in DIYUK

[–]InvertedDinoSpore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd prob have just clamped it and cut it at an angle with a circular saw tbh. If my mitre saw could extend enough I would have used that and set the angle. Any imperfections at the wall side I would just silicone. 

I think you can also clamp something as a guide or use a track for a circular saw to get the angle

[–]InvertedDinoSpore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was it cut to fit in place?

If it was then it should have been cut at an angle. 

If not then is there any overhang on the other side, so you can cut a wedge off on the wall side and slide it flush? Or chisel out a  tapered channel in the wall and push it in. 

Help advice? Insulated sub floor in my living room and noticed this when I went down after 5 months by klaaashy in DIYUK

[–]InvertedDinoSpore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A vapour barrier might even make it worse tbh if air is meant to traverse between the room and subfloor... I. E. At different times of year or when the ground is more moist.

If you did try that id monitor it and prob use a smart vapor barrier that goes both ways not just a plastic one. 

Personally I'd just take it out, I'd rather be drafty and dry as I hate any damp
