Hi all, I have taken up some tiles and ply from a chipboard floor to prepare for new ply and amtico. By where the sink was there has Obviously been a leak over the years which Has made the chipboard like a sponge! I am going to cut this out with a circular saw set to the depth of the boards and...

Hi all, Was hoping to get some advice on a project I am undertaking whilst I have the time. I have a detached garage that I am planing on converting to 3 separate rooms (two home offices, and storage room) I want it all to be insulated as best as possible and will be adding some IR electric...
