What a bunch of dirty b*****ds, there must have been a bin of mortar on the floor of each room. One of them was called Jeff and his Dad also worked on the gang, he was a big fat c**t who genuinely needed help to get up on the trestles. Site agent comes in the room one day and is stood looking at one of fattys efforts of a block partition wall and says “Is that plumb?” Fatso’s reply........ ”I don’t know !” Amazing ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Application in to build 94 houses in the parks up from me and 400 not so far away. School already at capacity, roads already f****d, nothing in the viillage shop wise etc. Hoping it doesnt go ahead as they have had loads of objections. However the person dealing with it used to be high up in the council and quit and now works with companies submitting planning apps for them..... to the council he used to work at. I had a word about how long trees had been up and what wildlife lived there etc. His response. They will be down before you can even write a complaint. What a few choice words for him and he got back in his car an f****d off. Exaxtly the same here mate.Local farmer whos selling the land to support his coke habit is friends with the person on Swale Borough Council thats overseeing the planning.We had a zoom meeting with the council c**t to voice our concerns about a month ago.roads flooding everytime theres more than an hours rain and now they want to tarmac over more fields,180 more cars on the roads etc.We was told there wont be that many cars as they'll probably all commute from the village train station.The same train station that the people who will be moving into the 200 houses they're building in the next village will be commuting from no doubt.Because no doubt they'll all walk the 3miles to our village to catch the train.Everytime someone had a valid point her internet miraculously dropped out or she just changed the subject.Everyone from our village only found out about any of this a few months ago when our local Green candidate put it on fb after he was chucked off the local council after voicing his concerns. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The shed I was planning didn't work out so now I'm shopping around for something else. I'm planning to section 4' off as an inside avairy with a pop hole into an outside flight. The other 16' will be a bar /comfy room. Planning to get a beer fridge, big armchairs and just fill it with my collection of stuff.....hunting pictures, vintage signs, clubs, swords, old traps etc. Anyway any decent shed builders are booked up till Christmas time! Because of all the DIYers and garden bar builders. Timber prices are through the roof as well. So any ideas? Would it be cheaper to build it in block and render it? Anyone know any decent vinyl sheds shed builders in the North? I could build it myself no problem but I'm busy with work and other stuff and don't know if I can face a big project at the minute. If shed builders are booked up and timber prices are high, then yes, building it in block and render will likely be cheaper and more durable right now. A block shed will stay dry, last longer, and give you a much more solid bar and aviary setup. If you do not have the time to build a full shed yourself, you can hire a local bricklayer to put up the block walls and then finish the inside later. That keeps the project manageable without relying on shed companies. Prefab timber kits are another option, but with current prices they often end up costing more than blockwork.
