I don't have a question for you, PigletJohn. I just want to express my appreciation after noticing you responding to so many requests for your help. It's very kind and generous of you - so a big thank you, you're a top bloke.

Seconded! You’re a font of very kind knowledge.

I'm so glad you started this thread OP Pigletjohn is legend! I always devour his advice. Top bloke.

and that is a seriously cool piglet!

Oooh good post. I always read a post if I see PigletJohn’s commented cos I know they’re sensible, detailed and really helpful even if of no immediate applicability to a practical matter in my life or house. Thanks PJ!

Thank you from me too. Always happy to help! 🙂

Agree! I search for his replies when faced with particular issues.

I agree. Sterling advice, always well considered, well meant, and knowledgeable.

Hear hear! I have had several reasons to be grateful to Piglet John over the past few years on here! All round good egg! 🐖

Snap...thank you for all your time and effort pigletjohn

My DH gets very cross when I quote Pigletjohn!

You are my DIY oracle!

Agree! Piglet John is a top bloke!

And another thank you.

I really struggle with knowing how to deal with maintenance issues and always search Mumsnet first. When you respond to someones post PigletJohn I feel that the information Is 100% trustworthy.

You have also directly helped me with a couple of issues.

I do really appreciate your help and responses to all the questions we ask.

I often come onto this topic just to see what Piglet John has been saying today- my DH even asks about you!!
Fantastic advice on other threads that I’m building into my plans to very slowly update our house!

Here here! He always seems to be there when you need him with brilliant, wise advice. We salute you!

Agree but are we absolutely sure PigletJohn is a bloke?!!

I’d also like to express my gratitude with all the advice you give on the board! Last year your advice on someone elses post helped balance my radiators in our new house!

Pigletjohn what first drew you to this forum? Was it a happy accident?

Only clicked on this thread to check he was actually alright!!! How to worry someone, jeeze

Another who likes reading his advice. Well done. Thank you.

@Pigletjohn what first drew you to this forum? Was it a happy accident?

Just echoing this, and all the other sentiments on the thread. Everyone should have a trusted voice of authority on practical domestic matters and you're IT, PJ. And I'm curious why you ended up as the MN guru ...

Calling Pigletjohn or any other building experts. We need to insulate the space between the ceiling and the roof as our house is freeeezing. We have a flat roof with sloping sides. Should we take down the ceiling to do this? I am told that the inside is lath and plaster. Would injections or insulation be better? Don’t want to spend a fortune on this as I know insulation can be a diy job (if we didn’t have a ceiling in the way!). Any ideas on cost or recommendations of people who could do this in London would be great too. Thank you!

Oops! Intended to create a new post. Will try again

Agree as a fellow John i have no idea how he has the time to post such detailed replies nearly every day for the last umpteen years.i think a petition to rename the DIY forum to the piglet John appreciation forum would be approved by the admins straight away!
