Thanks Foxhole. I will buy a Microwave that looks almost identical to the one pictured, it has a compatible trim kit. (NN-TKT59SFP Microwave Oven Trim Kit for NN-ST479SBPQ) Question is, does this vent at the front? The doors will need replacing for sure. I can get a good match online but...

Hi I am doing a makeover of the our kitchen and one of the things I want to do is merge the microwave into the existing oven housing as shown to free up some counter space. The housing is doweled and possibly glued but I need to drop the oven lower to create the space for the microwave above...

Cant find any stock of these below, they are obsolete by Baxi 246-133 90 deg flue bend We need to redirect flue due to extension wall and it looks like I may need to replace the boiler and/or put it somewhere completely new so its out of the way. Much appreciate it if someone knows...

Thanks all. The inner skin will be coming up soon. The block and beam floor has gone in and is now waiting for BC inspection before continuing with inner wall I guess. The profile of the wall looks like this at present if you can see what I mean below (will attach picture). Door and...

I will ask the builder on Monday. I'd rather he know now if there was a problem then later when its built. I don't know how much play should be in a wall, maybe a small amount is normal until its secured at the other end?

Is it normal for a brick wall to wobble a little during construction? Our extension is being built and so far its only up to 5ft above DPC on a single skin, external wall. Its this section that stops for the doorway (so not secured at one end). So I expect some wobble is normal? I stopped...

Thanks again. I will budget for around 5K for the footings and see if anyone is prepared to do it for that. I checked with the prefab garage people, they said their structure is 4 in thick and can be placed onto a single skin wall so perhaps I don't need to worry about putting it on the...

Yes, the plans are for a building 8m x 5.4 m, over 2.5m tall right up to a boundary on 3 sides. Actually I might have to rethink the size of the prefab garage as the original planned building is larger than the prefab. The prefab company said that the concrete slab shouldnt be more than...

Thanks again. Yes you should move down to do my garage , sounds like it would be a lot cheaper. Even if I put you up for a week lol. What would be a more reasonable price bearing in mind everything is inflated around here! The ground is good, and access is excellent. 18 ton lorry can...

Thanks OBND. I'm not a builder so its worth knowing from someone in the know! Before I thought of doing pre-fab I asked a builder to quote for getting the outbuilding out of the ground, up to DPC (but this was with the intention of just leaving it at that until I could pay for someone to...

Hi Last year a tree fell down in my garden which completely destroyed my prefab double garage at the end of our garden. We had plans drawn up initially for a detached outbuilding, planning was granted. However we cannot afford right now to do the full build (other half wanted instead to...

Hi, My fitted kitchen has been discontinued but I wanted to make some small adjustments to it. The manufacturer, Mereway, cant help me get the same colour. I tried to find some suitable nearest match online but not getting anywhere. Could anyone suggest where I can source some red...
