The very many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XXIX

[Borachio]

I know. That's possibly why garden walls tend to be constructed with the frog down. But after about 30 years they start to fall down. Mine had got in such a particularly parlous state I had to begrudingly fork out real CASH (!) to have it repaired when I moved here, in case any passing pedestrians got crushed by falling masonry. There really were chunks of it so loose that I thought it might blow over in the wind.

Then maybe call a concrete mixer and pour it all over with concrete and forget about it for the next 30 years? Or bite a bullet and launch full scale renovation works.

Some people even see chain link fencing over old masonry as the most cost effective way...

Erm, Daw, you're supposed to start the new thread…

Question: Which one?

"The very many questions-not worth-their-own-thread question thread XXX" thread, I guess.

But you don't have to. If you don't, it automatically falls to someone else according to some arcane formula known only to... I don't know whom.

Still hoping for New York food recommendations! Where should I get a hot dog from? Where should I get cheesecake from? Where should I get pizza from? What else should I be after, if I want to try the local classics? (excluding bagels, I am not a bagel guy, unless everyone does really think that they're going to blow my mind. I usually find them too bready and too heavy)

My bricklayer friend has actually done a very reasonable-looking job for a fraction of the price of a full-scale renovation.

I think Borachio is the one that is meant to make the new thread, since Daw hasn't

Gah! Really? Do I have to?
