Advantages: Lots of Pictures Disadvantages: Impossible Dream!
...and a 2 foot wide hole above the door leading to the back-extension. I don't know how we missed all these problems when we were looking round, but suffice to say that ours were not practised eyes!
I asked for the CollinsComplete DIY Manual as a birthday present, as our repairs expenses were getting obscene, and I felt confident that we could tackle some of the tasks alone. And I thought it might be fun too. It duly arrived via Amazon (£9.75) and my H. was bemused to see me so excited over something so potentially disastrous.

...Collins Tree Guide - by Owen Johnson and Illustrated by David More
The Most Complete Field Guide to the Trees of Britain and Europe
What is it?
Collins Tree Guide is a book that describes over 1500 trees. This is the largest single-volume ever included in a field guide. The book has a black cover with white and gold text with a solitary tree illustrated in the centre of the cover. The book is stunning and feels like a prized possession in your hand. The cover is very well designed but we all know the saying, never judge a book by the cover!
Inside the book you are confronted with the Contents page, followed by a How to Use this Book page and then a detailed Introduction. The book caters for beginners and has a page dedicated to botanical names (Commonly known as Latin or scientific names). Botanical names do...
