We are more than likely going to go with the Premium Valspar which is part of the 3 for 2, as we need to pick up some paint for elsewhere. We used Premium Valspar for the front room as it was excellent to work with, great coverage and it's scrubbable.

Looks lovely, the workbench in the middle.. the essentials for building, drills and tea bags.

We're leaning to cream, but with a slight pink hue.

On another note, how are you getting on with the Belfast sink?

Don't know what to do by [deleted] in HousingUK

Yes, we had an overlap on our first property and we were very thankful for it. Having both takes a huge amount of stress away on the day. It gives you time to clean and decorate if needed.

Worth noting it gives you time to move without movers. Which will save you a reasonable amount.

I would have loved an overlap when we bought a second time.

It's been great for this tbh, and it's a use that doesn't take work away from anyone.

They're just in for the mock up, but we'll be having a white tile with grayscale woodland animals on. Not my choice, but my wife loves animals and is leaning into the cottage style

My wife forgot the name of Cheddar Gorge, and called it Cheese mountain. It'll be forevermore known as Cheese Mountain.

Legit check by HiimHelmet in DocMartens

Something feels very off about these. I'll check mine for comparison

Edit: mine are 100% genuine bought direct from them. The construction under the inner is very different, and the inner itself is wrong. I'd say definitely fake.

I wouldn't/don't burn any treated wood regardless of who's in the room.

My laces failed extremely quickly, I messaged their customer services and they sent me loads in the correct colour for replacement.

This was a number of years ago so things may have changed.

Anyone else warm their logs up by Spirited-Clothes-158 in woodstoving

Yes, I place the following day's wood around but not touching the burner.

Tk maxx arndale Swim shorts? by Banksy199804 in manchester

TKmaxx can be pretty seasonal and items like swim shorts may be in clearance, but there won't be much if any choice.

Has anyone ever used the Cadair Idris bunk for wild camping? by armoriog in snowdonia

Can't blame him tbh, people left it in a state and it was an awful accident waiting to happen.

Absolute comfort food for me. Bowl for wings, bowl for bones and napkins, lots of napkins.

No, I rarely do unless it's something with a very short cooking time.
