How To Build A Treehouse

Wikihow is one of our favourite websites. Not only is it informative, but it displays information clearly with legible, attractive illustrations. It's the go-to place when you're stuck with a household task, vehicle maintenance or...building a treehouse!

Setting Up The Very Largest Furniture: The Pyramid Stage

A Perfect Trip To Yorkshire

In light of Yorkshire Day last week - and the news that the Dales are to be expanded - I thought I'd point you towards a Metro article that highlights the holiday opportunities around the county. Is York included in their list? You bet it is. So is Skipton, Malham, Ripon, and plenty of other places we regularly visit as 1 Van 1 Man. There's time yet to enjoy a late-summer trip to Yorkshire. When the sights are that good, why wouldn't you?

Removal Men At The Highest Tier

David Cameron leaves No. 10 Downing Street today, and even the Prime Minister needs a removal van. Personally I'm relieved we weren't called in; it's quite enough work without the added pressure of armed policemen!

Leaving the EU and why it was form in the first place

Those decisions would make us go into what we would call a DIY recession. In order to know where you are going, people need to know where we came from and for what reasons decisions where made to keep us as a peaceful Europe. Without their energy and motivation we would not be living in the climate of peace and stability that we take for granted nowadays.

Moving White Goods By Yourself

People often ask us about how to move their large electrical appliances - whether a fridge, freezer or washing machine. Besides the necessary unplugging/electrical connections to arrange, you must be careful to transport it safely. Here's a guide we found on the internet that explains just that.
