    Question for the decorating experts…

    Yeah, agree that he has been inconvenienced on many occasions for something out of his control so I don’t want him to inconvenience him anymore. However there is a little twist in the story as these repairs should be covered on our buildings insurance. But, as the premiums will Sky rocket our...

    Question for the decorating experts…

    Yeah, we are now going level and strengthen the floor, add tanking under the shower and tile over the existing tiles. Unfortunately, I’ve had too many repairs by handmen who fairly much just carry out temporary fixes over and over again

    Question for the decorating experts…

    Unfortunately my bathroom is prone to leaks and when it does it stains my neighbours ceiling below and I have to pick up the repair bill. However, each time it happens he insists on a full ceiling repaint rather than a touch up. Now I understand his frustration and the inconvenience caused...

    Any Non-fiction book recommendations?

    I'm travelling a lot with work right now and need to be a bit grown up and stop playing on my phone the whole time. So i've bought myself a kindle but don't know what books to start searching for. Previously, i've read a few books on Auschwitz and life inside Thai prisons (a bit dark i know)...

    Nice place to visit without leaving the car!

    I am sure you could ask thousands questions now given the opportunity. It’s probably a similar reason why I want to spend some time with my dad this weekend. He has a major stroke last year and was admitted to hospital for three months. At the time all hospital visitors were banned due to...

    Nice place to visit without leaving the car!

    Absolutely fantastic idea and also just what I’m looking for. He’s had a very tough year and we need a bit of father and son time. Sounds like you have similar moments with your father

    Nice place to visit without leaving the car!

    Nice place to visit without leaving the car!
