• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

    Party Wall

    Thanks. There’s no maintenance now, but also no maintenance necessary because the wall is protected by the other garage. In general what is the maintenance on a plain brick wall; repoint once every 150 years? I’ve owned quite a few plain brick walls over the years, but never a rendered one. I...

    Nervous about Surgeon

    Thanks for all the responses. I’ve talked it over with my wife and processed it a bit more and I’ve realised that it’s not just that the doctor didn’t refer to my specific scan and medical situation and didn’t engage with my questions in a helpful way, but that I’m deeply uncomfortable because...

    Nervous about Surgeon

    I have an upcoming operation. I had a scan and then went to see the surgeon. The surgeon didn’t show me the scan, talk about the scan, or say anything about the operation that was specific to me and my case. Does that seem normal? It was just paperwork - sign the consent form - and responding to...

I have a question that I hope someone can advise on: The neighbours are removing a garage right next to our garage. Our garage is single skin brick with a flat roof. The garages are not attached, but...
