He watched, perhaps?

The rats had holes to go through along and between the joists! It's an old house. The chippy way back when perhaps made allowances??? Rat traps are always down. They always come in wintertime. We've got used to them. Rural life!

They moved my Mrs & kids into a mobile home to get it sorted. I'm away. Want to help but can't. 🤬 Anyway. Sparky pulled up the floorboards upstairs because of the asbestos problem and replaced the entire length from shared fuse box with neighbour to our consumer unit. More details when I get back. But my family is safe and the house is safe. Tomorrow they replace the floorboards upstairs and put back all the furniture that was piled up in the back room. Was good knowing there was someone on here who knew what was what. Thanks again.

Is it because you stick your chopper into any old gash? 😂

Thanks Roys I'm working away from home and waiting for a pic to upload. This pic is off eBay. 1.5mm. Red and black like the one at home but it'll be 6 X 1mm I've been told. The shrink wrap is good news regarding the artex on the ceiling. Thanks again.

Make sure it's future proofed. Eg DEFRA certified. Alymic-somthing-or-other on here knows latest codes. Of course if you're in the back of beyond then efficiency and compliance may not be your thing 😂

I'm beginning to wish I hadn't Should that be "I'm beginning to wish I haddock" 😅

Perfect time of day for this!

Rodents have eaten through the insulating sheath of the live wire of our main 6mm electric cable in our tied house. We can see it where it goes up into ceiling. Quick question for any sparkies here about best practice. Does the ceiling need tearing down and the entire length of cable need replacing? Or. Given there's another slack can the eaten bit simply be cut out and rejoined. I ask because the ceiling is artix which means asbestos and the Mrs wants to know where we stand when we get the estate manager to book it in for fixing. TiA. Oh. I'm not an expert. I will not bodge it myself. Before anyone gets on their high horse 🙂

A&E data not available by FoI? Surprised.

My grandad had pin and ball fitted. He did all the physio exercises religiously after the op but still can't raise a straight arm from dangling up more than 45°. Straight out ahead or to the side? No chance. Shoulders are complicated. No doubt about it.

So you got cs39? When I did it 9 year ago one of the instructors said climbers most often cut their left forearm and groundies their left thigh. You've seen the research? Have things changed?

So you're scouring the ads or will commission a replacement from Wilson's?

Fandoobeytastic! You made my dinner break!

I'm learning to be woke to wind up the old boys I work with on the estate 😂 Point me to where I can be wokey and wakey wakey please.

Nitrogen only significantly present after some clovers, fertilisers etc. Too much and you get nitro burn when leaves on saplings turn red. As Kriss says, mulch is key for good establishment. Especially if you're not there everyday. Trace elements are leached up from soil by fresh woodchip. Yes. It'll suppress weed growth as will cardboard fleece etc. Planting young trees means they need watering in. Mulch retains moisture so roots can grow. Again Kriss mentions poss dry spring.

Moisture retention. Fresh chip absorbs more water and leaches nutrients from the soil.

They're the definitive horsy types that's for sure. The pic says naked calender so maybe it's a teaser between months 😂

Good substitute for diatomacsous earth! 👍A fine sandy powder like for minimizing red mites.

Eleven driving changes and laws coming into force next year - starting on January 1 - Mirror Online WWW.MIRROR.CO.UK With the cost of living outstripping wages, 2022 is set to be a tumultuous one for our personal finances, but drivers cold get on... Related. You may know already.

It's catching D 😂😂

I sympathise. Our first was quiet after the terrible 2s but with two now the house is defo more energised 😀

Kriss with a K will love it that he's not the only one who signs off with his initial 😂

Who needs dentures when you're eating melt in the mouth! Excellent! 😀

Delicate question: I'm not a member of the Arb Assoc so can't comment on their outward facing organisational presence. The NFU is well known for its serious lobbying influence. Rebated fuel used to be about productive value like growing food, catching fish or building houses and obviously forestry. Farm subsidies for land ownership are being phased out in favour of rural enterprise, diversification, stewardship, countryside grants and other funds. This means landowners will by supplimented by DEFRA for keeping the landscape picturesque as well as environmentally sustainable, ecologically beneficial etc not for working the land in a productive sense. A farmer's side order of bread'n'butter will soon no longer be offered to offset turbulent or unpredictable market prices for the meat and tatties he provides us. I work in woodlands so diesel cost is a factor for winning contracts. This means I'll be looking for lobbying power to represent my needs and others like me to DEFRA. Or is the proposed level playing field meant to squeeze out the little guys? I guess its wait and see. Meanwhile, Does the Arb Assoc have good teeth?
