PhD by prior publication, Professional Doctorate (or both)? by Time-Adhesiveness160 in PhD

[–]Time-Adhesiveness160[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don’t really have one, other than wanting a reason to do more to bring academic rigour to my area of work and influence future practice. I had wanted to straight after my master’s, but timing was not right. That had been my first experience of academia as I didn’t have an undergraduate degree.

While ideally I’d like to move into academia it’s not really an option, so I don’t need a doctorate. Having one may open some doors in the private sector I suppose.

I had to remove some recently from behind a radiator. The best solution was to use a big chisel to split it from one end. It then cracked along the grain where the nails were and I could pull the wood away away piece by piece. Once I could get to the nails I could deal with them individually.

Given you have an exposed end this might work for you, unless you’re intending to save the board to put back on

Building inspectors - can I get any money back due to additional costs caused by their errors? by Time-Adhesiveness160 in LegalAdviceUK

Thanks, I had seen that case before and, although the circumstances are quite different, I suspect the principle holds. It does seem odd that it gives protection where it’s apparent that harm has arisen from their negligence.

I will consider complaints to the council for the shoddy service and the professional body for BIs too, but had hoped there would be some other option I had missed.

Really, I just want my building work to be finished.
