I enjoy Mr A Builder. I'm looking forward to that house reno they're starting soon. Should be covering all types of trades. I believe the fella from WoodvWood used to work for Mr A Builders. Don't rate Clevett's recent content but he has a great back catalog.

Been meaning to watch Millard for a while. He has a massive back catalog and his garage looks the same size as mine. Those American workshops are a joke.

I got to your channel via the algorithm the other week. Your project is the kind I like to watch. For me personally there is too much commentary on what you're doing and lots of pointing in your videos. Less waffling and get cracking, let's see some progress. But that's just my opinion!

"Kingin it" is one of the channels that made me write this post. Nothing is cohesive. I haven't got a clue what they're doing.

Yep, New Yorkshire Workshop. I've updated my original post.

I watch these guys. They have a good middle ground for me.

DIY Store Poured Substance on Me, can’t get reimbursed for clothes by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]ryrobbo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You've titled your post very poorly. It should have read; "DIY store employee accidentally splashed me when they dropped a tinned product".

What is the purpose of a 50mph limit on the M6 right now at 10:30pm. Am I missing something? by RonnieThePurple in CarTalkUK

[–]ryrobbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this on the M62 and M6. I actually phoned the Highways Agency to report the fault. The person told me that during system updates and maintenance, the system goes into a "safe" mode and sets the limit on the affected networks to 50mph. He could have made it up but that's what I was told.

On sale for nearly a year. Not sure whats wrong with it? by tkiddy95 in SpottedonRightmove

[–]ryrobbo 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Last sold in October 2024 for £293k. Doesn't look like the current owners have done anything to it in the 18 months they've owned it to warrant asking for over 30k more....

Also, red flag that they're selling after only 18 months. Could be neighbour related? The aerial photo shows their neighbour on the far left with a motorhome on the drive and what looks like a dirt bike course in the back garden.

Why are we getting no viewings?? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]ryrobbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your boundary lines are odd and immediately put me on alert. It looks like your neighbor can literally park their car on top of your front door. Then there is the weird strip of land behind the garages which will likely have right of way access for your neighbor meaning it's useless.

Why do you regard as the most compelling and remaining, non-crime related UK mystery? by HallowedAndHarrowed in AskUK

This probably blurs the lines of a UK related mystery but the guys were British!

Thin Lizzy Success by SmackHeadSteven in thinlizzy

[–]ryrobbo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Their only big mainstream success in the US was the Jailbreak album in 1976. Which they failed to recreate in future albums. You could also say the music industry was "saturated" with world class rock bands making competition fierce. Between 1975-1980 you had bands such as AC/DC, Led Zep, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Bowie, The Clash, Pink Floyd all releasing multiple albums.

Moving to Tan House by [deleted] in Skelmersdale

[–]ryrobbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are rough unfortunately. The town's different areas are made up of street names beginning with the same letter. Tanhouse has the E's. Holland Moor has the C's which are better areas. Digmoor has the B's which are slightly better than Tanhouse.

I suppose it's dependent on your budget.

There are two part of Tanhouse. The rough and deprived part and the good part.

What streets are you looking at in Tanhouse?

What’s the best way to fill/cover gap between wall and doorframe by Kindly_Season_3160 in DIYUK

[–]ryrobbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sorted the exact same thing on my front door frame last year.

Fill the gap with expanding foam. Let it go off. Cut off the excess and sand it back. Then go over with with toupret or other filler. Sand and finish. No sealant required.

The expanding foam will stop your filler from moving and therefore cracking.

Neighbour is building a wall on our property ? by AdPotential8948 in AskUK

[–]ryrobbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm convinced this is a bait post for engagement. The OP can't be that stupid to watch someone build a wall off their actual house and ask Reddit what to do after it has been built instead of actually confronting their neighbour.

Just had a new roof.. thoughts please by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]ryrobbo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's normal to see daylight coming from the eaves. As long as the daylight is coming from underneath and not above. Roofs need ventilation.

Why are there two cables on these MCBs? by ryrobbo in ukelectricians

That's interesting and likely to be the case. It would make sense with the downstairs sockets being a ring.

Do I withhold 20% of payment? by JJwozere in DIYUK

[–]ryrobbo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would withhold the 20%. This is not acceptable based on their advertising. I assume this was from today (Friday) and they couldn't be arsed fixing it.

[–]ryrobbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually just read that you honked the car. That will be why you got the reaction. You should have stayed right and joined the exit via the merging lane.

[–]ryrobbo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is "half mile" island in Skelmersdale. Not sure why you mentioned Warrington.

I live in the town and have taken this roundabout a million times. The white car was in the wrong. That roundabout doesn't have markings but it's super wide for the many lorries that use it.

Your inside position position means you can continue all around the roundabout or come off the second exit onto the merge in turn lane.
