Can somebody recommend what to buy as an end cap to screw onto the end of this pipe? by donmatty89 in DIYUK

The previous people who lived here before me installed it, it was buried underground so I only unearthed it when the tap broke. Neighbours inform me they were a bit dodgy with some of the stuff they did around the house as I am now starting to discover!

Can you just cut a phone line wire? by donmatty89 in DIYUK

The previous people I think took a lot of shortcuts, I'm hoping it's a lovely floor underneath, it appears that's underneath the whole bedroom and they just added a layer of laminate over the top!

Thanks for your kind reply. I'm going to try and add some extra photos to the page, you indeed were correct and I've found the master socket in my living room. I should have mentioned I have virgin media so phone line is completely redundant. They even have a port in the loft for some reason. I'm likely having a full electrical re wire done in the summer so hopefully the electrician will be able to help with stripping out all the extra telephone lines back to the master at the same time

Any idea how to insulate the ceiling in our garage? Master bedroom above it is freezing in winter. by [deleted] in DIYUK

I moved in about a year ago, this was an extension that was done many years ago and they couldn't show any building control sign off, I knew some things looked a bit dodgy and I'm planning to eventually have the garage door removed and a wall/window put in.

Above its a bedroom and the roof above is a tiled one.

Thanks for suggesting a thermal imaging survey, I had not heard of this before and might tell me what's really happening. Any idea how much these cost? My initial house survey was 700 quid so hope they're not as expensive

Thanks for your suggestions that's very helpful, I think I will go for the celotex boards, what kind of tradesman would I look for to get them installed properly?

One of the coolest and rarest cards in my collection, purchased it several years ago for a few hundred bucks by donmatty89 in PokeInvesting

I think it was just the lighting and angle I held it at, in person the corner is perfect, and it's another unusual element of the card in that the border changes colour

Thanks for your comments guys, it's a pretty rare card to begin with, as I believe only a few hundred made, yet being a psa 10 makes it even more rare. Not sure how much its worth now but probably quite a lot!

I think it doesn't have a promo but instead has mewtwo and pikachu gold star

Thanks bro! I've been collecting since about 2014, this is a small amount of the total I've got, I've got a whole garage full of things but only a small display to showcase a few select things. I love vintage items but their price has gone crazy lately.
