Birdsmouth, thanks that made the Google easier. I'd come to the conclusion it would be easier to notch the rafter rather than the beam.

Hi, Will be putting up a pergola style roof shortly and that will entail notching out the beams for the rafters. Lots of YouTube videos showing how to make a straight notch if the roof is flat, but mine will start at 8 foot and drop to around 7 over the space of a 1m. How can I successfully...

Hi, I'm building an outdoor kitchen and will put a Pergola style roof over it, either using wiggly tin or perspex. However how well do you think the uprights need to be supported/how large? The span between posts will be circa 3600mm, so pretty large, with 300mm cantilever either end...

Right I see, it's the first spur cable that could potentially be overloaded to 39a. Failed to realise that. Cheers

I suspected as much. Currently its on a 32a mcb. I realise the fcu is there to protect the sockets from this point on but in reality is it not the same?. The first socket is on 2.5mm cable and protected accordingly. Then the branch after that is protected by the 13a. The only difference...

Hi, I have a spurred double socket that I wish to extend out from. I realise that in reality you usually put the Fsu in then spur accordingly, however given I wish to keep the double socket in its current location can I spur off from this to an Fsu thus protecting the circuit from that point...

Its probably only set back about 20mm from the leading edge. Looking at every other door/window in the house it's pretty similar. 75mm would be most of the brick and looking at all the neighbours front doors they are around the 20-40mm mark I'd guess. A mate put the door in a while ago, its...

The DPM was removed when the threshold was made as it was running along this course of bricks

Hi, Some more pics.The bit in front of the carpet needs to be levelled a little to bring it up to the level of the existing screed so I can lay my laminate. It's probably less than 15mm at the tallest and as much as a few mm at the shallowest difference. Yeah probably a mortar bed would...

Here's a pic Then I'm talking about using this stuff under the concrete or not as the case maybe. http://www.wickes.co.uk/Visqueen-Polythene-Damp-Proof-Course-100mm-x-30m/p/226579 To bring it up to level with current floor [/img]
