Phase 2 almost finished...

Here's a link to my decking, which I've almost finished (now ordering balustrade to enhance the overall look). //www.diynot.com/forums/garden/decking-concrete-posts-or-embedded-slabs.321136/ I can tell you from experience, that 6x2 is not necessary, and will only add to your costs, I...

Phase 1 completed.

Hi Steve Thanks for your comments, I'm midway through now, and all joist connections are sitting on bedded slabs with 6x100 screws going through to another length of 4x2 on the side/front. The 7m span is made up of 2 x 3.6m lengths, resting on bedded slabs every 1.5m and it's all looking...

Decided to forge ahead with the slab option, I'm trying to find some way to butt/connect two joists end-on-end, but can't seem to find a product that would help, am I missing something? I'd also welcome comments on how to join the joists to the 10m frame on the LHS, as I can't seem to find...

Above is the area/shape I intend to cover with decking; the 10m length runs flush against my new fencing gravel boards, and the 0.5m length runs against shed brickwork, while the remaining sides are exposed. The decking itself will be as low to the ground as possible (obviously with clearance...

Just for the record i opted to use my floorboard saw and everything came good... :D

I can't move anything regardless, and there's tiling in place. I was considering using a floorboard saw as it's got a thin blade, but i'm concerned it might leave a messy end.

Yes, the worktop was the last thing to go on, which is why i can't believe they fitted it so poorly....

After paying two supposed joiners to install my worktop while i was away, they fitted it with an overshoot so long it's cramped the side of my fitted fridge freezer, making it almost impossible to close the freezer section without a bang. I've attached the image below and as you can appreciate i...

The room is 8.63m/3 and yes I believe its the cushioned vinyl...

When laying the final cut floor, does it need gluing across the entire floor area, can i use spray, do i need to trowel/spread adhesive, or will gluing the edges only suffice?

The cable's been buried from the original fit-out, are you suggesting pulling the cable out and reinserting it with additional length (assuming it's been covered in capping), or breaking the plaster first? Edit: I can't do that as there are two feeds within the CCU, one from the CO and the...

Thank God you're here :wink:

Moving to the left by 18", I've read that a 60a JB would suffice as means of cable extension. (TBH a photo is unnecessary)
