  1. Can you give me some more details as Im looking to move to that area in Feb, either here or pm Cheers  
  2. I remember a long time ago when this whole debate was started, around the time that the Labour party came to power, not sure about the exact procedure, but newly elected MPs are allowed to ask a question in Parliment and its up to the new PM to choose which was persued. One MP wanting to make a name for himself raised the question of Fox hunting and Tony, probably much to his regret, decided to go with it. That was the best part of ten years ago. What I would like to point out is that in that time almost as much time has been spent producing a law that is completely uworkable (check out the figures for the amount of real live foxes killed on 'drag hunts' on the first day of the ban) as was spent debating going to war with Iraq. Should we really be worried about a few animals when we are sending soldiers out to fight and die in a complelety unnessesary war?  
  3. Gary I was told by my neighbour whos a sparky that you can get the french wiring regs in English, BUT, they cost 800 euros a copy. So, I got him and the wife around for a barby and he now pops in for a beer most weekends to offer 'advice', which mainly involves him suicking hios teeth saying 'you can do it that way, but I do it this way' etc. Result!
  4. Bear with me... There is a plant that moles dont like that works a treat, heard my dad talking about it ten years or so ago, but cant remeber what its called or any other information, but a decent uk plant book could probably help. Or instaed of the shotgun try a large dog, but you might have to relay the lawn after!
  5. Fair point Andy, but surley if I dont protect the insulation from heavy rain then its going to rot and cause me a whole world of trouble later
  6. Hi Im just about to complete on the purchase of a tobacco hanger, and am wondering what to do with the exterior walls. Seems to me that I need to 1 Put up a plastic sheet (inside) to make the walls water tight as some of the boards have moved 2 Put in stud partition type structure attached to the cross bems that support the outside boards for extra strength 3 Insulate and put up vapour barrier and then plaster board. Does that sound right or am I missing something obvious!!! Any advice would be welcome.
