    Semi detached roof

    I live in a semi detached house. My neighbour recently got their half of the roof retiled. Their roofer has tiled their half up to the boundary of our property, leaving a couple inch gap and a partition strip fully on my side. Surely this can't be right. What is the correct way for the joint between the semis to be done? I'm assuming it was done this way as it was easier to remove full tiles but that's not my problem.

    How to lay artificial grass?

    Can someone advise me on how easy it is to lay artificial grass myself? I would need to dig up a smallish back yard which is currently paved with slabs and install the fake grass in an area of roughly 15ft x 20ft. Or is it possible to lay artificial grass on concrete? I’m not worried about the cost for artificial grass so much but is it possible to complete the job on my own in a day and what's the best way do that?
