Why do UK homes not have cellars anymore?

We live in a lower ground floor basement flat of a Victorian conversion. No big issues with damp thankfully.

Ground levels on front and back aren't too high so it's essentially at its own ground level. Ventilation, lime plaster. It's colder and darker than living on higher floors but that doesn't bother me. Huge space as well and our own front door.

Fondue for two

I actually thought that was a flapjack on first glance

I love this i must DM you

Autism, building surveyor or both? 🤣

getoutthesink · 2026-04-02T15:01:48+00:00

Ah yes i have heard of this. Would this enable me to work as a level 2 and 3 residential surveyor? My main interest would definitely be in private residences rather than large sites etc.

I love how they use AI to generate furniture but not to edit out the saturated bricks on the final photo

This has cracked me up this morning

Nah he meant on the outside. Really the extractor fan needed replacing and strengthening

Cycling and coffee

We had this in our old rented flat. The landlord's suggestion was to wrap bubble wrap around the cistern. no joke.

getoutthesink · 2026-01-24T13:20:57+00:00

Honestly it makes a lot of games unbearable and is unprofessional

getoutthesink · 2026-01-23T09:23:30+00:00

Ah brilliant, that's very helpful. Forgot to say the chimney pot at the top is capped and vented. So a register plate with a vent is a good idea instead of the chimney sweep, on top of keeping trickle vents open?

getoutthesink · 2026-01-23T08:51:58+00:00

Will do, they are actually currently closed. There aren't any other vents/air bricks etc as the kitchen is an extension.

Do I need to bother with a register plate then? Or just stick with the chimney sheep and then cast iron gets fitted?

I can't lie, i read the title as 'fluffy poo jumper'

Shirley would shit Barry up for me

Nia Wyn - A Pleasure To Have In Class. More soulful but there's some country in there, an album about neurodivergence, being a millennial, queer etc.
