No probs. What do you suggest as a replacement that is easy to wire and use. It’s for my folks and want it be simple.

I have one of these working with the combo boiler and it keeps displaying “LO” I’ve replaced the battery. No avail. I can increase/decrease temperature but it keeps coming back to LO. It has these two wires behind it: I joined the two cables together and heating works! I did also try...

Thanks guys. I am happy to 300 centre the 5x2s but crucially I need to decide now whether it will be 5 or 6 inch rafters as I am building the walls accordingly, and staying within my 2.5m height limit.

I will have 15mm OSB, 1.2mm rubber roof, 70mm pir insulation and plasterboard.

Can I also get some more views on whether the 5x2's will suffice for my roof or whether the 6x2s are an absolute necessity in my situation please. The rafters will be spanning 3 metres of the roof and have some overhang and I was going to centre them at 400. It will have a rubber roof on top of...

I am building a garden room which will measure 6.5m x 3m. It's apart time project that I am fitting around other commitments. Mainly on the weekend. That said, have made decent progress over the last couple of weeks. Thanks for all the help I have had from this forum. It's built on a concrete...

My side wall needed to be 215cm with one base plate and two top plates. I rounded up the 2inch to 5cm. This actually measures 209cm as the bottom and top plates don’t come to exactly 10cm. I will also be slightly short again when I add the second top plate. How can I now add around 1.5cm to...

I’ve almost got the entire back wall (6.5m) ready. I will sheath it before I take this to the deck and bolt the two sections together. I am then thinking I could build the two side walls, sheath and connect these 3 up. There will be a delay on the front wall as I’ve not managed to get the...

Highest adjacent ground works in my favour right? Measuring from here lets me get more space inside. The lowest point of the ground is around 20cm to my floor and the highest is around 10cm. Am I interpreting this correctly?

If I omitted this lip, would my extended breathable membrane and the cladding extended over this vulnerable point provide adequate protection?

I don’t follow this part? Are the studs not 400 centred for the plasterboard and hence need the OSB to be trimmed? In another post the guys suggested that 5x2 with a 50mm lift at the front should be adequate? I am trying to maximise the ceiling height internally. Also should I leave a 3mm...

My stud wall will have one set of noggins half way up. That wouldn’t be sufficient to catch the whole edge of the “oversized osb”?

Oh and… When I build my stud wall, which will be lined externally with osb and internally with plasterboard, where do I place the studs? How do I centre these when both sheets are different measurements…

That’s very useful context. Won’t assume 400 centres for everything.

I think plasterboard is metric and therefore requires 400 centres?
