    Is it expensive to hire someone to custom build furniture?

    Hello everyone. I’ve seen these custom built bunk beds for my kids but I’m wondering if its cheaper or better to purchase ready made furniture or to hire a carpenter to build them? What will be more cost effective?

    Gas (sulphur) type smell in cellar when it rains

    Hello, I have a problem with the house I have just bought where whenever is rains, there's a very strong gas type smell in my cellar - quite like sulfur. This smell spreads to the rest of the house and makes you feel nauseous. I have had a drainsman come out who did a CCTV inspection and there's no damage to the drains that should cause any problems. He said because the house has been empty for some time, I should run a hot bath full of bleach once or twice a week then pull the plug to help clean the drains in case this is what is causing the problem. I have tried this but it hasn't solved the problem. I was at the house last night and it was raining slightly outside and the smell was very strong. I have noticed the smell is worse if the rain is quite fine. I am lost as to where to go now to get this issue sorted. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Any help would be appreciated.
