I want to fit composite cladding to the rear of my new extension (I originally typed "expension" - a Freudian slip....)
I have insulated blockwork as the construction. The extension will be part K-rendered and part clad. If the walls are cement-boarded then is there a good reason why I cannot...
I want to turn this cherry beam into a mantel. The tree was felled three years ago but has ony been trimmed to size for a month
Trimmed to length it will be 9' x 9" x 9"

Downstairs is a polypipe-badged grundfos UFH and the second pic shows that this is set the same. This is almost silent in operation
I had a new install for a pellet boiler just over two years ago. We're off-grid for gas and it seemed to be a good replacement for an aging and inefficient oil boiler.
The lingering problem is the noise of the pump and it's associated pipework, which is located in an upstairs bedroom cupboard...
