I mean cavity closer at the jambs. I know that there are ties in the walls, but it doesn't look right to me. What happens if the ties are dodgy?

nobody has replied, is it a daft question?

I am thinking about putting a tri-fold door in. I see no one mentions to tie the cavity leafs together. The hole is to be 2400x2100 . Do you have to do this? Cheers Steve

In my project, there this an internal brick wall 100mm thick. A strut 75x100 sits vertically support a purlin via this wall. I want to removed this wall and put a beam to support the strut and purlin. The mirror image of this wall has been done donkeys years ago. They used 2x50x200mm span 3500...

Hi, The return to the north is 1100mm, to the side (where the bi fold is) 760mm. So looks OK then? I'm getting to old, I was just to ask again what's IIRC, and noticed the bit in the corner. :roll:

Thanks Tony, this is a bungalow, so I look OK with this. I was worried about this because of some thing found on interweb thingy, on about P1+W1+P2+W2+P3+W4 divided by the first number you thought of etc. (from www.dfpnl.gov.uk.structure.pdf) What does IIRC mean?

Here it is (I like playing with autocad)

Plan of windows

Thank freddy, the flue can go anywhere, I thought that there is minimum distance that a flue can be away from a opening. Re the sketch , I have to think how to this.

I'm am baffled too. I thought at this is a building forum, sorry to upset you all. :oops: But, , while I'm here, How close to window/door can be to a balanced flue outlet? Ahh, I see now, I did put is in the plumbing section, my mistake, I see that the mod. has swapped this to...

'ey up all, I have a problem in that I want to install a 2400mm bi fold door . The return is about 600mm, the return in the adjacent wall to the next window is 1100mm. I suspect that the rules wont let me do this. I spend hours on t'net, can't find any sensible info. on this subject. Can...

Hi, it's me after all these years. I can't believe that I posted in this way. Even I can't understand what I said. But I did fix the boiler, it was the PRV. Cheers

Please help is boiler. Boiler all day, .8bar 1bar on the dial. then 0 bar, squirt water to 1 bar, OK, boiler start , 1/2 hours later 2.8 bar , the CH PRV is squirts hot water to the tundish, I me a hint. Steve

I think the prv of the CH u/s Boiler start at 1 bar, hot water get hot, pressure up, pvr blow at 2ish bar, ( too low) prv blow to 0, zero. Then filling loop squirt water in to 1bar again. Is this OK? There can you find these parts?
