Up to each firm iirc, they just need to be happy that the risk of them being exposed to money laundering fines is low.

If I was a tradesman, then I'd be erring on the side of caution due to repeated potential exposure, and historically it's been people in construction/building/engineering/fabrication that have suffered asbestos related diseases. As a DiYer, I'd be getting it tested, then suited up and covering it in wallpaper paste before scoring it with a Stanley knife to scrape it off. My local tip will take up to 10 bags or 10 sheets of asbestos from the general public at £12.10 a bag/sheet.
Just curious, does anyone have nitrogen dioxide or radon meters in their house?

Probably just overworked the tendons, which take longer than muscle to repair.

Google lens is pretty good at identifying common weeds in my experience.
A traditionally "perfect" lawn is, as not doubt mentioned previously in this thread, a monoculture. So a lot of work.

Last night's gem find when replacing the 18mm loft board being used as floorboards(literally loft boards, I found the wrapper, 1220x,320) Lord knows why, must have been so much work given how jigsaw-like it was. Two bits of 50mmx50mm timber nailed to the joist by two nails, the kicker was that they were an inch higher than any other high spot on the floor.
No wonder the floor was so effing wavy and flexed, because each board was effectively only supported by one joist, and wasn't stiff enough to transfer to the joist at each end.

No doubt I'm just being completely thick.
T-Hinge, can the frame plate be situated like a butt hinge ?

Who the fuck complains about free wood...

Ridewithgps just works. But you can use bing maps for zoomable OS mapping.

So I need put a floor down, the previous owners had been using 18mm loft boards.(300x1200). And yes it flexed like anything.
I'm looking at 18mm OSB3, as 22mm p5 chipboard won't fit under the existing fittings.
Tell me I'm wrong to do so.

Lots of fruit stalks, and (if the scalpers haven't got to them) roses in Morrisons/Sains, fruit in Lidl/Aldi.

I mean, that's only a modest number of bitcoins.

Poor thing. The jasmine is out in parent's garden, but not their honeysuckle.

We hit the grass hard last year, pulling out bags and bags of bindweed. Then threw loads of rye grass seed down. Touch wood, no new shoots in the bulk of lawn. Only under the tree and the corner we didn't get to! Also found snowdrops, crocus and lungwort.

Don't think that is a honeysuckle. Leaf and flower are wrong shape.
*Google lens says Kerria.

Mine was 4.8 for new Combi, 4 bog standard, 1 column,(2 radiators were replacement, rest needed new runs) gas pipe rerouting, and new hot and cold runs for kitchen, utility and bathroom.

Take a decent torch, and a ladder. I'd try to have a look in cellar and attic space. Might be able to see joists.

Formal? Board? Khaki? Cargo? Running?

It does fall in a conservation area, but that greenhouse is a 2015 addition with planning permission. It did have a solar panel refused though.
I wouldn't write it off due to grade 2 listing. But it ain't my money.

First impression was "Wow.". I could easily see my heart tugging me to buy that.

Share the link, and we can pick it apart for you 🤣

This. It can be very dependent on your local conservation officer as well.
The absurdity of the bureaucracy means that my neighbour needs to apply for planning permission, and listed building consent to replace grim aluminium window frames, because they were present when property was listed!:

Jesus, that's awful. Early onset "buyer's remorse"?

Have you looked at the entry in the list for the property? Is it in a conservation area as well? That would give a better indication of what might be allowed.

Missed that.

So they have laid tarmac up to their boundary over a shared access path? If you can still access the path, what's the issue?
