    I see it's got a cellar. No doubt you'll turn that into a Fritzl bunker.

    Just wondering if anyone knows the answer to this.

    Friend has a room rented in a student house in Norwich. He's finished his exams and moved back home for the summer, but as with most student tenancy agreements he's paid for the year so the room is still his for the next few months.

    Is there any reason I couldn't move into the room for a few weeks? Is it just a case of getting the landlord's permission?

    Technically it'd be case of asking, yes, as technically your mate would be sub-letting it.

    In practice though, so long as the other people in there are cool with it and the landlord isn't likely to turn up and bust you, I'd just do it without saying anything. My old landlord probably wouldn't recognise me if he saw me anyway.

    Yea that's subletting which they normally don't allow on student tenancies.

    It's usually so they can extort some kind of fee. Don't tell anyone.

    Deleted the post by accident.

    Just thought if I were a landlord I wouldn't give a shit who was actually there providing it had been paid for, but yeah I get your point.

    If it's a student let have they ever met the landlord or is it dealt with through an agency? If it's an agency they're even less likely to know who everyone is.

    It's this plus likely related to insurance. If you die/burn the house down etc., would your mate/the landlord be covered?

    Still, they probably won't find out, so whatever.

    Apparently the (Chinese) housemate who is staying there over the summer is a bit of a gimp (the sort who'd be an INFORMER) so going to go through the agency and see if they'll agree to it.

    Not sure I hold out much hope but I'll keep you posted on what promises to be a fascinating saga.

    I've got a wall that's about 3m x 3.5m and it's covered in woodchip. I want to get the woodchip removed, have the wall skimmed and new wallpaper putting up.

    Any idea on a cost? I've contacted about 10 people and only had a single quote so far, so I've no idea whether he's ripping me off or not.

    Upstairs have left their tap running overnight, it has leaked through our ceiling (dripping from light fitting), there is a long line across from one side to the other and the carpet is fucked.

    Has anyone here had anything to do with home/contents insurance? I am assuming upstairs will have to make a claim against theirs as it's their fault, but then the damage is in our gaff so I'm not sure if that makes a difference? Obviously if it was a car it would be on the person at faults insurance, so I'm assuming this works the same way?

    Lol they rent. 'I'm really sorry mate, I will try to pay some towards it'.

    Err, nah mate, I'll call my insurance and they can deal with your landlords insurance company. It's looking like 2 claims as well, the ceiling and electrics on the buildings insurance then the carpet/paint on the contents insurance. FUN

    I stuck a punchbag in my cellar a few weeks ago. Was using it a couple of nights ago and the fucking thing fell out. It looks as though I'd drilled to close to the cement in the brick. It was fine for a while but I'm guessing the vibrations weakened the cement and finally it came loose, bringing the whole thing out.

    I've found another wall and want to stick a bolt straight through the whole thing and tighten it on both sides. I'm going to buy an SDS drill tonight (I need one anyway). Does anyone know much about this shit? Any advice on how to fasten it all etc? Not sure if anyone's much of a DIY whizz around here but thought I'd ask.

    I feel for you. Our hallway ceiling has been hanging off for months due to various leaks in the bathroom. Thankfully it wasn't freshly decorated.

    It wasn't too bad, caught it before it got worse. Needed a new washer (obviously isn't it always that), cost £45.

    €650 a month for one room and your bed is on top of the wardrobe, accessed by a step ladder.

    I've moved. Connection through a family friend on a house that's going to be knocked down in a couple of years for flats. I've taken the bottom floor as the upper tier is just too big for someone that's lived in a studio flat for 5 years. 5 rooms + bedroom/kitchen/en-suite bathroom. I don't have anything to put in it though so I almost feel pressured to buy loads of shite I'll never be able to fit into the next place I can afford.

    I've spent the first week of my Easter holidays building a raised floor in the loft, which has been disgusting to work in but will prove worthwhile (as currently we have one of our three bedrooms unusable due to excess baby stuff/miscellaneous crap/furniture). Cutting a hole in the ceiling on Saturday to put in a new loft hatch and ladder



    Well there should be a picture here but I don't know what I've done wrong.

    I used to install insulation in attics as a summer job. Having people shout at me at 4am because they missed their flight to Lisbon felt like heaven in comparison.

    I completely understand the sensible, practical reasons for pursuing new builds but i'm really not a fan. I think the vast majority of it is the cheap looking identikit-bricks. Something about the gaudy shininess of them makes me imagine all the houses are full of nasty ornaments saying LIVE LAUGH LOVE. And bad photos "professionally shot" in shopping centres with frames that say family on them, in case you couldn't figure it out.
