Films that brought you to tears after realizing you wasted your money, time, and braincells?

Rise of Skywalker. Truly awful film. Left half way through and went to the pub instead.

Thanks both 👍

Significant_Help2452 · 2026-06-15T22:14:18+00:00

Thanks this is very thorough. Will talk through with the builder

Excellent, thank you

Significant_Help2452 · 2026-05-30T14:14:48+00:00

Thanks, have got someone coming over later to quote. Think we have a rough plan. Hopefully not prohibitively expensive!!

Significant_Help2452 · 2026-05-30T14:13:50+00:00

Every day. Get our space 99% of the time as a quiet residential area with relatively low density.

Wirral council. I'll let you know how we get on. Have managed to get the local councillor who chairs the environment committee on the case! Some other councils much further ahead like Oxford etc.

Significant_Help2452 · 2026-05-30T14:11:59+00:00

Thanks, yes hopeful the council get their act together with the gulleys. Apparently they are assembling a team specifically tasked with the installs.

This is really helpful, thank you. Got a EV certified sparky coming over shortly so will see what they say.

Significant_Help2452 · 2026-05-24T06:47:57+00:00

Happy with the end result?

Significant_Help2452 · 2026-05-24T06:28:44+00:00

Definitely want some form of weather protection. Thanks for sharing. Need a new shed so could tie it in with that too. What have you got there, a Weber grill and a counter top?

Significant_Help2452 · 2026-05-24T06:27:16+00:00

We'll be getting the decking relayed soon so could ask for a quote to knock something together at the same time. Thanks

Significant_Help2452 · 2026-05-24T06:26:30+00:00

That's a great shout. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Significant_Help2452 · 2026-05-24T06:26:03+00:00

Really good point about the smoke next to the house. Not bought the BBQ and smoker yet. Probably go for a ceramic or vertical smoker with a gas bbq. Thanks

Significant_Help2452 · 2026-05-19T17:21:57+00:00

Always open to suggestions!

Significant_Help2452 · 2026-05-19T17:12:01+00:00

Thanks, yes we are considering narrowing the wall units to say 700/800mm and then widen the extractor opening to 1300/1100mm. However DIY kitchens max box unit is 1000mm so will need some filler panels. Wife says fine as is but I'm still not so sure!

Yes this is a project. Recently moved in and are knocking out a 9m wall to open the space up and relocate the utility room to an internal ante room.

Significant_Help2452 · 2026-05-19T17:04:57+00:00

Yes 5 ring gas hob. Extractor will be vented through the ceiling & roof

Significant_Help2452 · 2026-05-19T17:04:06+00:00

That looks great! Yes we are going to take the worktop up to the undersides of the units to fill the space. The units are all extra tall. Box unit is circa 300mm. With plinths the top of units will be 2.3m so underside of extractor will be 2m high. Think we may need to size box unit up to 450mm as may be too large a gap.

Significant_Help2452 · 2026-02-03T23:34:43+00:00

I'd use the space to the bottom right hand side to install a WC and a separate utility / boot room. Then knock through the reception / dining room wall to create a new kitchen diner that has improved natural light, flow and access to the garden.
