UK TAX Help needed
I really need some help. I live and work overseas and have always been incredibly crap at anything to do with HMRC. I feel like I have diffeent HMRC log ins, UTRs, VAT numbers, auth codes, god knows what else for 3 small companies, which haven't ever really traded more than a few hundred pounds a year here and there. It's my own fault for not processing the returns and corporation tax etc, but now it's really stressing me out. They've sent letters to my parents house as I am overseas, I have written to HMRC but I am getting no where. I am really looking for someone who can take my log ins, act on my behalf, write to HMRC, and help me get everything up to date and finally sorted after years of neglect. If you have the skills, patience and don't judge, I'd love to speak to you. I'm sure for the right person, it's no more than a couple of days work, but I'm desperate.

7 days ago25 proposalsRemoteSimple Android OBD-II Diagnostic App
I need an Android application that pairs with an ELM327 Bluetooth OBD-II adapter and performs a very limited set of diagnostic tasks. The goal is to give me a clean, lightweight tool rather than a full-blown scanner. Core behaviour • When the user taps “Connect”, the app must discover and bond with a standard ELM327 device and keep the link alive. • Once connected, it should read live PIDs for engine RPM and battery voltage/status and refresh them smoothly on screen. • A single button should read any stored trouble codes and, when pressed again, clear them. No additional graphs, logging or fuel-consumption features are required. Tech notes I am comfortable with you writing the project in either Kotlin or Java inside Android Studio; please use the standard Bluetooth APIs (or a lightweight library if it speeds development). PID queries can be hard-coded—no dynamic command builder is necessary. The interface can be minimal: two large numeric fields for RPM and battery, plus the read/clear button. Deliverables Full Android Studio project with well-commented source. One signed release APK I can load directly onto my phone. A short README explaining how to pair the adapter and which PIDs you used. Acceptance I will test by pairing the app with my own ELM327 dongle; connection must succeed within 10 seconds, RPM values should update at least twice per second, and clearing codes must return the standard success response. If this sounds straightforward to you, let me know your timeline and any questions you have.

a month ago24 proposalsRemoteStructural Engineer to review as-built dormer roof + foundations
I need a UK-based structural engineer confirm the structural design for my house project and produce a Building Control–ready pack. Part of the loft conversion (including a pitched dormer) has already been built and Building Control have said there are things missing from the previous engineer’s calculations because they do not show how the dormer integrates into the roof or how the ridge is supported. I now need an engineer to review the as-built structure (photos available) and issue revised calculations and drawings that building control can approve. I need someone who is able to put together the information required by building control. I attach the previous document but this is the reply I got from building control: I also need some calculations to confirm that the 2 story (1.5 story really...) extension built from 200mm structural insulated panels (SIPs) are suitable at 1m depth in clay soil. Good morning and thank you for sending through the structural calculations. Having had a quick look through that information, it appears there maybe some information missing in that document, as there is no reference to the pitched loft dormer section of the roof to the loft conversion and how that integrates with the main roof? We would normally expect the engineer to produce a drawing that shows all the roof timbers and structural supporting beams for a loft conversion. At present the only drawing section in the calculations document appears to show only the main roof section, with no reference to the additional load that will come from the pitched timber dormer section, that will need to connect into the main roof/ridge timber. The dormer side wall/timbers also need to be supported and generally those would need to be either double or triple timbers each side to support those side cheek walls. We would also query/question the fact that only a single ridge board is shown to the main roof. Generally, where a dormer roof is formed as part of a loft conversion, we would normally expect to see either a flitch beam or even a steel ridge beam used at that location where there may be additional loading paced on the ridge . This is something we feel the engineer would need to consider and provide calculations & additional drawing details for please as part of their design at this stage. If there are any other beams required as part of the extension works, then those should also be included within the structural calculations please. Please discuss this further with your engineer and re-submit any additional information when completed for the loft conversion.
