Im in Frinton on Sea, Essex. No pics at the moment - but will get some on Saturday

Hi all, I need some advice please, on boilers. We've just bought our house and we need a new boiler (gas board condemned it yesterday - same day we got our keys!). The current ancient boiler is housed in an outside boiler room (integral to the house but accessed from an outside door)...

I was about to say that it might be Haunted, then saw that its been mentioned before! ...Whatever, something fishy's definately going on.

An outside bathroom!!!! WTF?!!!

Hi guys, I am looking for new work tops. We are wanting a Pure Gloss White Glossy/Polished surface and am looking at composite stone. We have had various quotes, ranging from the expensive to the very very expensive! Nothings "cheap" LOL! :) I have had companies quoting x amount, then...

Thanks Richard C, The tile centre are quoting £250ish for adhesive 1 based on 12mm over-board. Because this would need to be more flexible due to the thinner 12mm board, I am assuminbg this is more expensive due to this. The adhesive for the thicker 18mm board is coming in cheaper at £75...

Thanks for the move guys :) ...The tile centre are pricing £250 (approx) for 1 x adhesive based on a 12mm ply over-board, and £76 for another adhesive based on 18mm ply over-board. The tiles are pure glossy white porcelain (600 x 600) and there is 24 sq meteres to tile, which is hall...

Thanks Deluks, Currently it's T&G 50'/60's softwood floor boards. Cement tile-backer board? Interesting... How's this used? Forgot to mention that we're hoping to have a heated floor-space - does this have any effect to what we use? G.

Hi guys, We're going to tile our kitchen and hallway (as if 1 big room). We are using 600x600 Porcelain tiles. The current floor (wood, tongue/groove) are suspended floors and have been butchered over the years and so we need to ply-board the floor prior to tiling. What is the best...

Thankfully not ...Crack caused by a combination of a Girlfreind and a Mini Digger. :roll:

Thanks mate - I'm already there. ...I'll keep an eye out for surplus on eBay ...should be able to get the rest at trade from friends I think.

Thanks chaps - £1500 seems a lot for materials? (The porch is next on the agenda after the garage - This will be re built in timber, possibly with a brick external skin, and rough rendered panel inserts... or something along the lines of). The top part of the garage (depending on gates we...

Hi guys, We have a regular standard flat roofed garage. The dimensions are as follows: Width: 2.75m Length: 5.54m Height: 2.90m The garage is currently in poor condition. We are replacing the back wall/corner as it is cracked from the bottom corner to the middle of the window...

Thank you! The garden was a wreck - nothing and I mean nothing was done properly and it was all bodged and done here and there... It was a right state! :P RE: Lintels, the rear of the house had 1 x Patio door to the right and an existing window/door to the left. If you look at the pictures...

Yes, thats the one! - Remote control flames!!! :P

Hi Chaps, My girlfriend and I are doing our first house together. I thought I'd share our garden project with you. When we moved in, the existing garden had been cobbled together. It was a shabby un-planned wreck of a graden... The shed says it all! The first job was to plan out...

Should have updated this a while ago...! It was easy to take out - The pipes had already been disconnected which probably contributed to the smashed brickwork - Cowboys! It lifted out fairly easily. Once removed, a friend of a friend put in the lintle for about £100 including the...

Ok chaps - an update! We got someone round to take a look yesterday - really nice bloke, fireplace installer. He said its a solid fuel burner... as already found out above. He said there's no need for a lintel to be put in. He said he didn't really want to do the job but would if we...

haha! no - It's beacause I'm at work and she's currently at home! She won't move the blanket so it looks like I will add photos of whats behind it tomorrow!

Cheers Tony - I will ask my girlfriend to remove the blanket (she's reluctant in case of Spiders!) and will post more pics... thanks....
