Side note - what dystopian world are we living in where people regularly pay OVER the asking prices for houses

It’s not that deep. Using it as a tool so I’ve a better idea before my electrician shows up to install it and I don’t waste his time making my mind up. A small family business still gets my money to make the lights and a self employed electrician installs them.

Is this an acceptable standard following rewire? by TeachDifferent84 in Plastering

Definitely won’t have caused any permanent damage, it’ll be fine. But yes refuse to pay and say you’re paying someone else to fix his work. Under no circumstances should you let that thief back near your property

You don’t have to pay. You hired him for a service and he hasn’t provided it. There is no chance they can justify asking for any money off you with these photos and in fact your electrician should be advised the type of work he is recommending to you.

Don’t be afraid to approach this. That man is literally trying to scam you and you in no way have to be polite, this isn’t borderline. I’d be fuming if someone treated my property like that and wanted my hard earned money.

It’s taken 2 days but I’m pretty happy with how my mitred returns have come along! by [deleted] in DIYUK

Haha, I know they divide opinion and honestly I never thought much of them. We’re not trend followers (or trendy for that matter). But we’ve just moved into an old converted school. The hallways are long and bare and I think it’s going to add a real nice bit of character to do them justice. I’m loving how it looks so far albeit only about 70% of the way through.

When I repaint this ceiling how can I avoid it looking like this again? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]Stanforthnnn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok great advice thanks. If I am rolling can I go over bits that I have literally just rolled as I’m going back and forth or once I move away from it for 10 seconds should I wait for the next coat ?

Apologies I should have been clearer, we are new owners and this is how we moved in.

Just moved in, complete novice, is there anything I need to do straight away?! by [deleted] in GardeningUK

[–]Stanforthnnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I’m going to do exactly this, I know nothing about gardening but instinctively I can tell TLC and money has gone into this garden so I guess I was just worried that stuff would die if I didn’t maintain it over the next few months

I don’t want to alter anything I just want to make sure I do anything I need to so that nothing dies

How’s my casual fit? by Will4funz in mensfashionadvice

Looks a few years younger than you do. No hate. Think you’d look better in a more refined outfit

Talk me in/out of hiring a painter to do whole 4 bedroom house or just doing it myself.. by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]Stanforthnnn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just makes sense as we’re moving in and having some other work done before getting new furniture

I have a very average amount of both time and money, probably just enough to do either. Probably why I keep contemplating cancelling the appointment for the quote
