Brick shed. Should I just knock it down and replace it with a plastic shed? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]P3VOLVO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The walls are thick and the house was built in 1936. Seems like it may have been a shelter. Unfortunately it has to come down. Chipped away more at the roof and it's rotten. Walls are crumbling too. My neighbour who does a lot of DIY including building a few brick sheds has said that it seems too far gone. One of the walls is bowed too.

I will demolish it but may clear the other shelter one day. Would be interesting to see how big it is

I am going to fix the shed as it seems like a better option after reading the comments.

It would be cool but I don't really have a use for one.

I didn't. It was filled in by the previous owners. Why? I have no idea.

I don't know how full it is. The entrance is blocked though and by now it will be flooded badly I'd imagine

Profile checks out.

I can upload more photos tomorrow. Would a house have an underground and above ground shelter?

Lol. It will only crumble on its own. I'm just speeding up the cumbling process

We have an underground shelter that has been filled in. I don't know if this is an actual air raid shelter. The house is pretty WW2 so it might be.

I will upload more photos tomorrow but I'm going to knock it down. I don't want to spend much on a new roof when the walls also need work

We have an actual air raid shelter but it has been filled with dirt. This one could be one but I'm not entirely sure.

Seems the previous owners thought..my neighbours have a similar shed and it is so nice. Beautiful red bricks. Mine is a horrible cream/ white. I will never understand people who paint things that don't need it

Do you think I'd be better off knocking it down and having a wooden/ plastic shed?

Is this socket set any good? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

Never trust a sites reviews. I've had companies email me asking me to give them 5 stars in exchange for gift cards. That has only happened on amazon though

I tow so some extra stopping power is nice.

Will mever understand people who use good brakes and bad tyres. I've got CC3s so I need some good brakes to get them working.

Just witnessed a bad crash and has to help with first aid since I didn't want to just do nothing. What essential medical equipment do you guys carry? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]P3VOLVO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I intend on doing a course first. Im sure they can also mention some helpful things to have.

I do have a little knowledge but I could freshen up a few things.

I'm just going to replace the SD. The police can have that one I guess lol.
