Double glazing's a pain.
I've replaced a couple of windows in my house but stuck with the original single glazing (shh, don't tell the council) because,well, just because...
So I can whip a pane out, take it up the local glazier who cuts a section out for a couple of quid and I put it back in with some fresh putty and fit the cat flap. Sorted![]()
So you are a contractor who lives in a council house?
Nice. I was wondering about that. If i come back to London, what's to stop me putting my name down for a council flat? It might take 5 years to arrive but I'll tell them I'm depressed or something.
When I get it I'll rent it out for a few years cash in hand. And later I'll take up the "right to buy" and buy it cheap- still rent it out. 5 years after that I'll sell at a good profit.
That's called the London waiting allowance. Everyone's at it.
