Is there a formula for the dimensions of a brace and ledge frame? Do you simple have a top rail and bottom rail, and then fit the middle rail halfway between the two? Or is there a funny formula to make the proportions look better on the eye?

Thanks for all the replies guys. I cant get a reducer and use the old ducting as all the old ducting was the flimsy plastic stuff and was quite badly degraded with holes appearing etc so i threw it out What i did in the end was to use my sds chisel bit, and took off nibbles where...

Hi guys i just posted in general DIY forum, but if you dont mind i will also post my thread in here in the hope someone can offer some advice especially with making good the external render, whats best to use and the best method Cheers Hi, i am replacing my kitchen hood it should of been...

Hi, i am replacing my kitchen hood it should of been an easy job with a straight swap, but the problem is the ducting hole is slightly to small. The hood is going to be ducted straight outside through a double skin masonry wall rendered externally. The ducting is 125mm diameter, and i guess...

I will have a look at the wickes kit you mentioned, it kinda depends on the quality of it tbh, also i do enjoy a bit of woodworking even if im not that great at it :D so i dont mind spending a day or so getting stuck in. The gate doesnt back onto an ally, it is actually flush with the front...

Well i had planned a braced and ledged constructed frame but with the cladding over the top of the frame, similar to this http://www.premiersheds.co.uk/garden-gates/side-garden-gates/html/natural-treated-universal-closeboarded-frame-ledged-braced-side-garden-gates.htm or...

No i believe its just a combi boiler. The weird thing is that the same plumber installed a combi boiler in my grandparents house as well, and they have the same milky water where as the didn't on the old boiler. Im not really one to bad mouth people, but i don't think he is a great plumber as...

Thanks for the quick reply's guys. As far as the cladding goes, the house isn't in a very rough area and its located in a suburb so no issues with wildlife etc. The gate is really only for quick access to the garden and so the kids can play in the garden without getting out onto the road etc...

Hi all, I need to replace my wooden garden gate, and so i would like a little advice if possible. The dimensions of the total gap are: 910mm wide x 2110mm high The gate will be fitted between the house and the garage, so both posts will be fixed to solid masonry walls. After having...

Thanks for the quick reply's. Its good news the hot water is fine as it is, one last question though if you dont mind, can we ever expect the air bubbles to cure itself or is this part and parcel with combi's? THanks

Hi all, my mother has got an issue with her water supply. She has a combi boiler, and at all the hot water outlets milky/cloudy water comes out. I have googled it and spoke to a plumber i know from the pub, and i have come to the conclusion that it is air bubbles in the water, especially...
