    Dry verge install

    Traders on here have been very helpful in the past, hope you can be again. This question is in 2 parts really. I recently had a dry verge installed that was quoted at £650, and was then told that the felt behind the mortar had deteriorated badly so I needed 2 m of new felt and batten which would take 2 days. I was left with a bill for £2.5k, after the work was done in a day. Does this seem fair? The second part of this question is that the dry verge looks very wonky. My understanding is that it should look relatively flush and straight and shouldn't really deviate. Is this right? It looks worst at the peak of the roof where it appears to tilt away from the roof.

    Painted living room window

    My husband and I have a very out there idea for our living room window. We want to have one way glass window installed which is then painted over on the front to look like the inside of a living room. Is this possible or will the paint totally block sunlight getting in? We don't mind if we can't see much outside, we just want sunlight to come in. Is this at all possible or safe? Would it ever get planning approval?

    How much to build a set of outdoor steps?

    I’m hoping to have a set of steps built into my garden from my back door which was previously a window (so no previous steps were in place). Height about meter or slightly less from ground level. I’m not wanting brick finish, I have some slabs which I would like to use if possible. How much would I need to budget? Which trades would I need?
