Hi - does anyone know anyone who could fit some wooden french windows in an existing outside wall opening, Nether Edge. Something like these: http://www.wickes.co.uk/bourne-oak-veneer-french-doors-4ft/invt/165861/ Thanks, Rob

Hi - could anyone recommend a builder (etc - includes bathroom and kitchen) to complete a 2 storey rear extension to a terrace in Nether Edge? I have planning permission (ref.08/04942/FUL), but haven't got round to having the foundations calculated. Preferably a local firm with a track record of similar work. Many thanks, Rob

Hi - I've got a couple of jobs need doing: Back yard - some paving blocks have sunk a few inches, and a section of concrete has cracked, about 1m2 in total. I'd like the blocks reset and the concrete redone. I don't think it's the drain - some sort of rodent tunnel, I suspect. A pic here: http://picasaweb.google.com/111795559075364781389/Garden# Front garden - not so much a garden, but the bit of tarmac between the house and the front wall, about 1m deep, 4m wide. This has been patched/mended several times and looks a mess now - if that could be relaid to match what's there. Any recommendations or interested parties please let me know! Thanks, Rob (Nether Edge)

Excellent, yes, thanks, take your and Dan's point. I was hoping for less complexity, but better done right etc. Rob -

Ah right, I see, yes, agreed. However, if the machine can be sat on a plinth the top of the machine will be level with the street opening to the drain. Big 'if'! -

Cold fill - yes. Drain below - possibly. The washing machine would need to be raised about 3 feet I reckon. Have a look - thanks Steve - I'll contact you off-forum. -

Ah, no, didn't know that. Can the water simply not gravity feed into the drain like it does at the moment? -
Can anyone suggest a builder etc who can do the pointing on a stone fronted house in Nether Edge please? Thanks, Rob

Oh no! London water tastes/smells of bleach, disgusting. I actually moved back for the beer :-) -
Sheffield Water: Soap and things

Everything works - it's just it doesn't lather or rinse as well. Had to throw shaving gel away for example. -
Having recently moved back to Sheff, from 'the south', the soft water and soap thing is intriguing. Apparently soap/detergents need to be calcium enriched to 'work'/rinse in soft water areas, but I can't see any products advertised, and I'm certainly not going to try them all. Thinking about boycotting all such things, that'll show 'em :-) Any experience of soaps/shampoos etc that work especially well? Thanks!
