I will let you know tomorrow morning as we have been waiting for our building completion certificate. That arrived today :). We held concern about him doing something to skupper sign off. Now we have the paperwork and legally, we are complete we are sending. Regarding the final instalment...

A clutter-free work surface is the way forward; it's easier to clean and aesthetically pleasing. I would strongly recommend installing a hot water tap. I was somewhat skeptical, but now that we actually have to get the kettle out of the larder, you really realize how much it's used. We will be...

Went to the gym this morning and they had a fancy "In Body" scanner for people to try. Never tried anything like it before. Super skeptical i gave it a go. No way in a million years am i 6.2%; i am lean; but i would die of a paper cut if this was accurate. Oh and apparently im 70KG; i have...

Never gone really past 8-12 reps for superset; that's a high volume so naturally the kg will be lower. It' depends on the exercise, but adding 5-10kg for less reps is not a huge jump. IF it's a compound exersize i would say that's easily achievable; isolation with correct form 10kg increase can...

Litterally burst out laughing; reading this. Just come home and someone is doing the pointing :o he has had someone turn up today, we didnt get around to sending a formal email yesterday as we want something in writing to tell him to stop work and no further payment will be recieved etc. We...

200KG :eek: - what's your B.W ? 2,000 calories is a luxury, cutting for shoots etc was like 1,100 - 1,300 calories (this was when i was younger and less educated). Now, i have a balanced diet and a good relationship with food espeically in a social setting. when i look back it was comical; and...

Only issue i do not know the colour mortar mix; could look like a patch work quilt if i get it wrong.

BUILDING INSPECTION: [PASSED] So relieved' there are a few minor things he picked up on (pending work outside, particularly regarding the pointing, which is essential for preventing wildlife intrusion and rain ingress). But he knows the trouble we have been through and wanted it signed off for...

I have been following; Renaissance Periodization (Dr Mike Israetel) - highly recommend his YouTube channel. Thought i would post my diet (hate that word) food at the moment. I am cutting at the moment; so calories are limited and it's fairly consistent day to day apart from weekend splurges...

"Running, I just can't. For the last four months, I've been doing cardio, something I have shied away from for years. I'd rather just drop calories. Forty minutes, five times each morning on an empty stomach, uphill treadmill walking on the steepest climb. So boring, but I try to zone out with...

Been forever since i posted in here; i wonder how many of the OG gym rats are still posting/lurking in here. Been training 10+ years so well adverse to drop sets, clusters, giant etc; and i think for the first time ever i had to take two days off back to back this week due to DOMS' i don't...

Been a big fan of chemical guy products for years. I run out of the butter wet wax so decided to pick up some products from Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Pro range. I was a little sceptical but overall was extremely impressed; with their 'flex' wax. Does anyone have any recommedations for...

Just opened a 1 year fixed with Halifax; I didn't really know this was a thing, but they offered the same rate with paid monthly interest into an account of choice. 4.3 % gross interest rate; not amazing but a decent return fee for letting it sit.

New front door fitted yesterday; It's always refreshing to work with a company that takes pride in their work, does a professional job, and cleans up after themselves. We've completed the utility room, including the flooring and plaster reveals (except for painting). I've contacted the...

Yes, the bath tap was tested after it was moved, and we've used it several times already without issue. Upon inspection, the issue was identified as a broken seal and a poor-quality shower hose leaking. This leakage caused water to drip onto the floor, running toward the back of the bath where...

The saga continues, and the issues with the **** plumber's work persist. This morning, my wife was running a bath while I was eating breakfast in the kitchen. Suddenly, I heard a drop of water, then another, and I looked up to see water coming from the ceiling lights. I sprinted upstairs...

Now that we have decided to do the decking (in hindsight) it's a much better solution. This now gives the added benefit of the entire kitchen when the doors are open being linked to the outside at the same level, thus no digging is required. For older family, freinds etc just makes things so...

Yes, the new entry opens to stepped decking. When we initially had the decking built, we didn't have the extension in mind or access to the rear garden ever being there. We plan to remove the deck from this side of the garden and rebuild it when we're ready to incorporate the outdoor kitchen...

Yes, unfortunately, we had to dig out the area by hand because we no longer have the luxury of digger access, primarily due to the change in property entry and the existing decking in the way. Decking, although more expensive in materials, requires less labor, while slabs are more expensive in...

The developer had penciled in one day to get everything done this week, including digging out and replacing the old slabs, covering an area of around 36 square meters. However, he refused to replace any slabs he had broken or not protected. We made the decision to hire a reputable landscaper...
