    Knocking down an internal wall.

    Thanks for that. There is no wall above which is a good sign, and the upstairs floorboards are at right angles to it. Also, the wall doesn't run the width of the house. Looks hopefull.

    Knocking down an internal wall.

    I am looking to knock the wall down between my kitchen and dining room to create a bigger space. I don't think it's load bearing but will need an expert to check. Will the builder be able to tell me when I ask for a quote, or is this something a structural engineer would be needed for? Also...

    Wordpress

    I've used a theme called Atahualpa 3.4.1 for a blog, it's a bit complicated but has loads of customizable options.

    Google Adwords

    Marketing Emails & SPAM

    What is the general feeling on receiving emails of this type? I have sent them out in the past but always targeted. As ospreylia says it is a good way to get in touch with potential customers.

    Business Premises Concern

    I wonder why they wouldn't tell you who owned it, sounds a bit fishy. Perhaps there are still places in any of the council owned business centres? I know there is one at the top of the Ouseburn but don't know of any others. At least you know where you are with the council.

    Hello, it's Andy from GB Tradesmen

    Hi Jonas, thanks for the feedback. The point with the van images is a good one and I'll look into it. I used to do it with preloads but there was still a delay the first time someone visited. For the errors, are you saying that you had a validation error and the field didn't say what the...
