I would hate to: mow the lawn with those steps

I’m in the process of planning to build one and your style is exactly what I had in mind. 3 years on, is there anything you’d do differently and are you happy with the results still?

I hugely admire the planning, as well as the quality and quantity of work that went into this. But grass? You must really love mowing. And I notice you didn't mow the grass steps -- what's going to happen to those? Weren't there alternatives, not more hardscape, but something that isn't as much work as grass? Anyway, if you're going to have grass, kudos for growing it from seed (apparently) rather than using grass sod (I hope that word is ok with this meaning in the UK).

Bravo

Just discovered your page. Very informative! one thing you don’t mention is structural engineers or council costs.. do you not need to ask permission from the council to excavate the levels this low? And get engineers to calculate retaining walls?

from some nature to absolutely none. well done, gluesniffer.

Are the real wood or faux wood and did you need to email them to get a pelmet the length of the door?

How to contact you, I have exactly same issue with my garden :(

Looks really good mate well done, Iv also got a roller petrol mower Iv just bought. I’m having trouble with the front wheels flattening the grass before the blade hits it After it’s been cut it’s leaving uncut lines from the wheels. Any advice is appreciated

Hi. Just found your video. Garden is lovely by the way! Ive just jet washed my indian sandstone backgarden, its been down a few years now and the grout joining it has come up quite a lot. I need to re-grout some areas. Now my first question does this stuff that you used go hard? If so how long does that take? Seems strange that it goes hard from being loose without adding anything.

Terrific 🤩

Bhai Hikvision cc camera installed in my shop. Now if there is no current, if the main line (shop) is off, will it be recorded?

I’m mid-way through redecorating my entire home, which has/had coving in every single room. My wife decided she wanted it all removed, then the walls plastered, then new coving put on. I assumed it would be a simple job but it’s turned out to be one of the biggest ball ache diy jobs I’ve ever done. As others have suggested, make sure you take time to prep, it pays dividends in the end. Stanley blade the top and bottom of the coving, use a sharp tool (I went with a wooden handled scraper which had a metal head) and hammer into the top and bottom all the way around, and for the large part, it will come off in long pieces. Good luck to anyone else undertaking this horrible job.

A locksmith fitted this lock for me after an attempted break-in. He didn't change the door handle, though. Does this mean my door still isn't secure ? Can these locks be snapped as easily as others ?

Beautiful!

Wow‼️

Nothing at all wrong with this method if strong enough to lift that much. Never knew about those silicone seal things - very useful! No need to change olive if you are using the same fitting, should go back without a problem. If in doubt add a bit of joint compound on the interior edge (fitting side, not nut side) of the olive. Wont matter if you get joint compound on other bits, just doesn't do anything. Should note that its common to find valves that use an o-ring too which might need replacing. You have to look closely at the fitting before you take it apart - you will see the fitting shape and maybe absence of visible threads than on a compression fitting. Setting the lockshields/ balancing is to ensure all the radiators heat evenly, which can be a problem on branching systems but not so much on manifold which is often the method used with the 10mm plastic pipe. Bit untidy the way they did the connections behind the radiator. Usually better to do a single run with no extra joints and put a plate over the hole.

What about using a wallpaper steamer or water spray with a bit of washing up liquid to reduce the dust and help soften the coving adhesive.

What happens with the G99 application. Do you tell them what inverter you are going for or do they just simply say yes/no and another limit/ceiling is set for what size you can have?

Very informative video. Do you have figures re the max charge rate of SolarEdge 400v? Data sheet says 5kw but I assume it’s only discharge. Thanks

Great video thanks for your time mate 😊

Hi mate, do you have a picture of the under sink clips used to secure this sink to the worktop please? I’ve recently brought this sink but the clips provided do not match the ones highlighted on the installation manual. Thanks in advance!

Great video these texecom systems have had very positive reviews. Its all great a home being covered in pir motion sensors but the intruder has entered the home for them to be activated. Shock sensors on doors and windows are even better as the alarm is going off before the intruder has entered the premises. If a trip switch or shock sensor fails then yes you have your pir sensors as a back up. Texecom also do wireless pir sensors which is also great so you can add more upstairs or in your garage and theres no wires to be fed into the loft etc or for people that want pir sensors but dont want to have their floor boards and carpets lifted up.

Spent 1.5k on 15x 450w panels, 1.3k on a 6kw inverter hybrid on/off grid inverter that does a little more than what your 2 or three pices of equipment do. 1300 on a 7.5kw lithium battery. So approx 5k for equipment including cables and supports etc. Installation and certification 1k. Where I live the aystem anticipates historically enough sun to generate 10,200 kwh. Sunny where we live. Downside is generating companies only give you a monthly credit against any excess generation you put into the grid. Plus standing charges still apply and excess generation cannot be credited against them. Euros not pounds. Could have got a 70% grant against installation costs but probably would have to wait several yearscto get it back and probably pay 6k as against 1k. (90% of installation done by myself). 1k for wiring and certification.

2024 12 panels 430w. Hybrid inverter and battery after grant 7500e. That’s the answer without BS

If your patio is in any kind of damp climate don't use this stuff - it is a breeding ground for algae and moss because it's so porous after it dries - my lovely cream porcelain patio is now mostly GREEN only 1 year after grouting with Rompox. I'm going to have to grind it out and redo with mortar in a couple of months when the weather dries up. Aaaagggh.

What’s the blue machine around 4:40 - 5:00 ?

Great video. Would be good to find out how you got on last year with your solar setup... Any plans for an update? thanks

Nice Video! Not too long, with clear and honest explanation! I thought IR would be the right solution - same case than you, full black mode, but was hesitating with colorvu. really happy you made this vid! It helps me to pick the right one! 🙂

Bravo sir

Thanks for the video, intresting, but I'm non of the wiser now what to go for 😂

Truly believe battery storage is the way forward and in most cases, especially in the winter. Would be good to see a follow up video showing your generation over the last year and how you faired last winter.

Did you find it quite easy to use the mini digger? I'm wanting to clear the site and do the footings on a self build project myself.

Top notch great job

you did a grand job there but with all that lawn area, why the lady didnt have some raised beds made up so she could grow veg, herbs, etc in them. all that money to have to spend more time on cutting it, when you could save money growing food thats a rip off in the supermarkets. this is what i always encourage when i do gardens. growing spaces.

what size are the pink chippings please?

Wet the remaining adhesive and it will just fall off - saves all the sanding and scraping

I know it's rwo years later BUT, running some sort of dust extraction on any sander makes the job a hel of a lot easier and cleaner ......... but it makes a battery powered sander pretty pointless. These days, i don't run a sander without a vac connected

Ps: loving the way you've dealt with some of the comments on here.🤭 Honestly, some people ...🤦‍♀️

Such a transformation! Love the clean, modern but practical look of your new garden.👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾 How is it a year on? That's quite a hill so can appreciate the consideration put into drainage. Looking forward to your planting video. Those stumps can be made into great sculptures or perhaps a stumpery? Q: Where's the clothes line?

Absolutely stunning!!

Try 60fps instead of 30fps. Literally twice the visual data, and a massive improvement in quality.

So does this system mean you have no energy bills at all?? Do you run your entire house for free???
