But how would it be possible if he doesn’t allow us access to get scaffolding up on his side. 3 sides of the roof can be replaced but the side which is on the neighbours side won’t be reached as cannot get any scaffolding up. Any idea what can be done.

    Is it possible to have an indoor lawn?

    Hi. Is it possible to have an indoor lawn created? Long story short, me and my husband decided to have a wall removed years ago so that we could extend our kitchen; fast forward to today and it’s like we don’t really need that much space. So, we’d like to re-build the wall and maybe even have an indoor lawn/indoor garden built with some big glass doors to let plenty of light in. Is this even possible, safe, legal? Thanks for your time. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

    Block paved driveway dipping

    Hello I had a large area of my garden block paved a few months ago. It looks great but I have started to notice some dipping in 2 areas. Its not a big worry but I am slightly concerned if it begins to get worse. I have spoke to the company that installed it and they're coming to take a look next week. I just want to make sure they don't do a bodge repair. What should i be expec ting them to do? I understand that block paving always dips slightly but this seems like a bit too much so early on. It seemed like they did everything right originally but i'm no expert. What should I expect there to be under there in terms of a base? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Can you tell me if this is possible please, I.e. utilising it for the washing machine or fridge or can i only use it for other storage items.
