Very Good advice on the voids at the back..carcasses are really critical..

Cheap shit is no longer designed to last 10 years, a few years at the most.

Going through this at the moment.

All depends on what you want.low cost modern kitchens are designed to be replaced every couple of years based on the latest trends.the carcasses are poor quality and will not last the abuse in kitchen environments. That is why they are “ cheap””.

So figure out how much you want to spend and then work from there…[Read more]

I’ve got an induction hob with same size extractor too, never heard or seen anything else??

I bought circulon pans for it in the sales a couple of years ago, they are fab. I can’t actually cook tho’ so maybe not the best example

Simple stuff like thick curtains, draft excluders and substantial underlay can make a big difference.

No to PVA. It’s an old wives tale.

A cheap matt emulsion is your best bet.

What’s the etiquette at moderately popular wild camping site? Do the late owls defer to the early sleepers etc? Like a bothy, where you cannot expect people to be quiet to facilitate your wish to sleep? Been at bothies where groups are drinking and singing (not in a scary way) and that is a risk you accept when using a bothy.

Lined floor length curtains on external doors.

Whether they’re tasty – they probably won’t have any other benefits.

There are large scale prospective studies showing reduction in the clinical signs of allergic disease in children when used in pregnancy and the first three months of nursing (in allergic mothers), with some experimental data of increased tolerance to allergens in the bowel…[Read more]
