Sorry, yes, it is green and yellow. And thank you for the good news - delighted to hear that.

I posted a question in another thread about the use of separate blue, browns and green in conduit: much easier to work with. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/separate-lives-and-neutrals-through-conduit.583618/ I have the three cables running through a conduit and they are all correctly...

This converstation has gotten very technincal. I ahve another question but will ask it in a separate thread. Thanks all

I have gone for the 6X2 just to be on the safe side. I dont want any bow in the roof. Costs more but of the life of the workshop it is not too painful.

I am building a workkshop and have a question about the size of the rafters. The rafters will be supporting an 18mm OSB roof with an EDPM membrane on top of that. The span of the roof will be 3m. I have checked various span tables and they suggest I can use 6by2 rafters. We are not a...
