What's the sink made out of?
Is it possible that one of you country folk fired a shotgun at it? :rotfl:No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
I'm still puzzling over NDGs bed. If there is 5 foot of storage underneath, you must have very high ceilings. Do you need a bed guard?
In answer to LIRs problem with slides, you would need a cushion ready at the top of the slide, just have to remember to bring it up again when you go to bed.

The house that went for 256k in the auction. I quizzed my friend on his costings. (So many questions, that he's now convinced I must have bought it. lol).
Rough figures:
8k SDLT
2k legal
4k double glazing
8k garden + back wall (the whole of the back garden is like a scaled down model of the alps apparently)
4k rewire
9k heating (boiler + rads)
12k kitchen
4k bath
1k toilet (downstairs)
1k doors
13k garage coversion
+6k contingency.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards. I volunteer to help get your forum questions answered and keep the forum running smoothly.

before dog broke her leg and spent lots of money and the planning delays of this summer the plan was to take one of the sinks in the utility and put that in the new kitchen when we put the knackered kitchen out there this summer....obviously none of that has happened so......0 -

Aluminium possibly. If you paint the underside of the sink with any old gloss paint you have lying around, it may reduce the water flow a fair bit. This is only a temporary bodge, right?No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
