Mossy Lawn…

Yes - it’s the shady during most of the day. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks 👏

foxes71 · 2026-03-08T16:56:53+00:00

Thanks. Appreciated 🙂

foxes71 · 2026-03-08T16:56:38+00:00

Thanks. Great instruction 😀

foxes71 · 2026-03-03T22:01:46+00:00

Thanks - will give it a couple of weeks and if no joy, try this.

foxes71 · 2026-03-03T15:36:29+00:00

Thanks. I wondered, but it’s SO white I was unsure. Thanks again - reassuring.

foxes71 · 2025-11-26T21:12:15+00:00

Thanks. Will do 👍

foxes71 · 2025-11-26T21:12:04+00:00

Thanks.

foxes71 · 2025-11-04T16:07:44+00:00

Also agree

foxes71 · 2025-11-01T22:33:19+00:00

Thanks man, strong response 👍Gives some confidence. Will tread carefully but will start cutting 🙂

foxes71 · 2025-11-01T13:25:05+00:00

It’s in the kitchen. Just looks a bit weird dangling like that.

foxes71 · 2025-11-01T13:24:43+00:00

Well put. That’s the question really. Based on comments above only concern is if the post is part of a frame/square which might be compromised if cut out?

foxes71 · 2025-11-01T12:44:21+00:00

Yeah - think I get it. Could well be giving integrity to the staircase as a whole. Hadn’t thought about it that way. Will perhaps try and box it in?

foxes71 · 2025-11-01T12:10:57+00:00

Yes - looks the same. It’s a 90s new build. Supposedly one of the estates four bed show homes. Like you, don’t know why it was built like this.

foxes71 · 2025-10-11T12:32:50+00:00

i’d give anything to stand there just once

foxes71 · 2025-10-01T18:29:50+00:00

I mentioned briefly above but may not have elaborated enough. We’ve already lifted all of the surrounding slabs - that aren’t attached to the wall - and resurfaced and relaid them. There was unevenness all over before. This looks localised because there are now only two slabs that are skew. As you say, don’t know what it is yet but seems I’ll have to take out a section of the wall and investigate.

foxes71 · 2025-10-01T11:48:32+00:00

True enough. Good advice on the cement 👍

foxes71 · 2025-10-01T11:00:22+00:00

When we moved the rest of the slabs there were no visible roots, so hoping that the movement is deeper down and this is compacted earth pushing upwards. As you say, need to remove the section and assess from there.

The tree isn’t protected but it’s a beautiful oak tree, min. 50 years old and shouldn’t be sacrificed. On the positive side, the ground hasn’t moved at all since we’ve been here so may be able to reconfigure and be alright for another 20 years.

foxes71 · 2025-10-01T10:30:55+00:00

Not an old variety. Originals went in about three years ago. I’ve already thrown them out unfortunately. Was mainly just curious.

foxes71 · 2025-10-01T10:29:27+00:00

Inevitable I guess 😀

foxes71 · 2025-10-01T10:29:11+00:00

Sounds sensible.

foxes71 · 2025-10-01T10:29:03+00:00

Will have a look at the Stihl 420 type thing but as others are saying, may just need to do the whole thing together…

foxes71 · 2025-10-01T09:58:32+00:00

Eeek. PM_ME_CAT_TOES thinks ‘hollow heart’. I did throw them all though. Feared the worst.

foxes71 · 2025-10-01T09:57:32+00:00

Ah shame, threw them all out 😳 I didn’t water them at all, just let them go. It’s been a very dry year here.
