But in the eyes of the Law..it's classed as theft by finding If it was on the deck and a member of public was to fall over it...then you be liable ...got to watch the scruffy cnuts, there's folks that go out everyday looking to throw themselves over your materials/tools looking for a claim... shifting about on a couple of PIP Sticks on their way to the Toby carvery or weather spoons..we all know the type 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not our problem mate.Weve priced to do the groundscrews and timber extension.Loft conversion and we've just agreed to drop the chimney and scrape back loose render as an extra.We lifted a drain lid on Friday to see where the drains run before we put the screws in and the 9" drains were half full.At first we thought they were blocked untill we dug a test hole and it started filling with water 500mm down.Trouble is thes old houses have had all the suspended wooden floors ripped up and filled with concrete.pointed with sand/cement and upvc double glazing so don't breathe like they would have done years ago. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
