Curtain battens
I need new curtain rails for the Lounge and the bedroom and am thinking of putting up curtain battens, not sure if it is worth the bother though. Any thoughts on the advantages of having them?

Garden Fence - Whose Responsibility?
A fence panel in our garden had broken and needs replacing. I am happy to go 50:50 with my neighbour on the repair but I think they would like to establish if either of us has responsibility for the fence.

Cross bracing for loft flooring?
In the loft we have joists 75x50mm at 350mm spacing. We're looking to strengthen the floor and maintain the thickness of insulation. We'd like to use this for storage space not a full loft conversion... yet! Would cross bracing of the same dimension and spacing be suitable for this?
