Dabz	Ages ago, I asked the neighbour if he still had the chimney breast in his dining room, he said aye, so I thought champion, I'll use gallow brackets when taking mine... Turns out... He hasnt, so now I have to use a dirty lump of RSJ to carry my side of the stack, and ive already bought the bloody gallows as well!!! Like, how do you not know a chimney breast, in your OWN HOUSE is missing a mass of bricks like that!?! The mind boggles sometimes mind!!! :/ -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit

Dabz	Big long bit of steel, shaped like a 'H' > Reveal 🔎 Been looking, and I dont know if it's me or not, but when I look for something online, that isnt amazony, how come the cost of carriage is always or just about the same as the bloody thing I'm buying! RSJ: £102 (ex VAT) Carriage: £100 Granted it'll be some weight, but even when it came to things like 2mx1m of lino for the old bog come new airing cupboard, the cost of getting it delivered was the same price as the lino!!! Blinds were the same! /whinge Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit

Jayenkai	Crikey. You oughta charge half of that to the neighbour, for the extra hassle Glad you managed to find it online, though. Whenever I try to find anything even vaguely "builder'y", it's usually a case of "phone for a quote!", and that annoys the bejesus out of me. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Dabz	"it's usually a case of "phone for a quote!", and that annoys the bejesus out of me." Oh, I'm the same, they do it with skips as well mind... Take Wards who I use... Here is their site:- https://www.skip-hire-durham.co.uk/ Not a single price, usually I use 8 yard ones, but on occasion, I might want a price for a 4 yarder... So I'll ring them up, ask, they'll give me a price. So I said to the auld fella who drives for them [who used to own it, took a canny chunk, went semi-retired and just drives for them... And STILL hounds me for a ciggie when he lands, lol], anyway, I asked him why they dont put prices on the site, and he said so competitors cannot compare... And I was like... Anar, but whats the difference between me ringing yous up for a price, a competitor doing the same, over having the prices on the site? He said he didnt know... And, agreed it was stupid wasnt it... And I was like "Aye, it is!!!" To be fair like to him, he doesnt really give a flying now! hehehe Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit
