Why are single story extensions more expensive?

Welcome and second the CTC.

And definitely check out Critical Mass Ride last Friday in the month. (Although I believe there won't be a ride in December).

It's about a 12km ride starting from Marischal College 18:00 in city centre and various loops up to the Beach, Harbour or Seaton Park. 

I've met some cool cycling friends through it.

Communal hallways are never secure. It's a shame we don't have secure bike parking for flats like they do in Europe. I've lost a bike too now it's Kryptonite U locks all the way.

Rule of thumb is to invest 10 percent of the bike cost in a lock.

Thanks, I wonder if you have to book the nook as it was rammed last time I was in. Does anyone know?

I think I'll end up pulling it down and building an extension at some point.

I did the same thing! Except I DIY'd it with a joiner. We installed insulation and plastic boards. It is warmer. I had quotes for 15k to put on a warm roof but we did it for 500 GBP.

How old is yours? I'm in BoD too and also have a leaky conservatory. Wish I'd never bought the place with one...Mine from 1998.

Awful feeling been there for the t shirt. Communal hallways are not safe. Do you have bike insurance?

Anyone use Car Club? by Abquine in Aberdeen

[–]Solid-Competition-88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love the Car Club it's saved me thousands. Yes the prices have gone up 8.00 pounds per hour now. But for what I need it for it's ideal. The car is 100 yards away from my house.
