I have the same issue as you. I see your floor is chipboard with insulation, this is great in the winter as when the sun shines it will suck up the heat and let it out slowly in the evening, ours is still warm to walk on at 9pm, passive heating, fantastic on the heating bills. Coming in from work and having the house between 22 and 24 with no heating on, kinda gives you a smug grin. The summer can be a nightmare, 35 degrees in the house for a week or so and barely cooled down at night. So we built a pergola to the side of the windows as an outdoor eating area. This allowed us to put a triangular shade sail across the back, looks stylish (imo), keeps the temperature down and the glare out. It obviously comes down when it starts to cool, again back to warming the house up in the winter. A cheap but sound solution, also gives you time to see how you feel about a permanent structure. I bought mine from "Hanse" as I preferred the more rugged material to the nylon.

It's funny that you should raise this, because only today we were just talking about this to the chaps who have been doing our kitchen renovations. They are absolutely spot on with everything they do, in fact sometimes overly concerned with the smallest of things, but we're more than happy to put up with their fastidiousness, because the end result is going to be brilliant. But today, I was telling them how much I appreciated their work and was bemoaning the fact that some of the other trades we have had on this job and on previous occasions, have been really careless and slap dash. The latest being the chap who laid the new kitchen flooring, despite doing generally good job, there are a few areas that just let the work down, that would have been perfect if he'd just shown a little bit of care. Prior to that, at other times, we've had window fitters, plumbers and tilers, all of whom didn't seem to take any pride in what they did and did things in a "that'll do" type way. Two radiators on opposite sides of a bay window hung at different heights. Tiling not centred on a floor properly so the room looked uneven (made him take it all up and start again), that type of thing. And don't get me started on the windows.....I don't know about you, but when you spend over £50K on hardwood windows, you'd like them to be installed properly, with the right windows in the right holes at the very least! And then to turn up with a window board, the wrong shape, size, profile and colour for a missing bit and then say "shall I fit it anyway....". As you say, they always rectify the problem, some with good grace, but some with very bad grace and a bad attitude. Like you, we aren't overly picky, but we do expect a good, neat, professional job. And it's made the more annoying because of a lot of it, would have been just as easy to get right in the first place, as it was to get it wrong.

Great article, personally I like my flowers how they come in the garden. However with the harsh dry summer we've had I am toying with the idea of planting a cut flower bed so really love the tips on making blooms last longer.
