Wow that's looking perfect :) great job. I've as yet had no issues with damp/moisture. It's dry and secure enough for my 84" projector screen, projector and surround sound :) loving it!! In terms insulation, B&Q loft insulation is all I got, like £4 a roll, bought about 12 rolls if memory...

Wow thanks guys :) It's still going very strong, we're down there every night watching movies or socialising with friends. I'll have to post a few new pics of it once I'm infront of the laptop. So to answer the floor question. I used some old paving slabs. First later a course of sand and...

Hi, been a while since I have been in here and thanks for the love for the shed. Attaching pallets on the second row was done using screws straight down through the blocks in each corner, into the block of the pallets underneath to start. That keeps the pallet in place whilst you break up other...

Only just seen this, nice to know I inspired someone else to get building with pallets, well done.

Hey guys, My house is made of wood and I was wondering what the best long lasting preserve was to use on the outside? We last treated it 5 years ago with Cuprinol wood preserve for sheds and it's done alright, but last year it started looking pretty weathered. I've heard that Butinox 3...

Ok, so we've had a few people come to look at the toilet now and none have been able to figure out what the problem is.... until a neighbour turned up with a 3ft length of hose pipe, stuffed that through the toilet U bend and then blew as hard as he could... flushed the toilet and it's been fine...

Hey, The toilet is sat on a concrete floor, around that is just some wood laminate. Toilet basically runs straight down into the sewer system, I can't see any vents or anything. I've had a good look all around the toilet and there are no cracks anywhere, the seals are all still well in...

Hiya, No, didn't seem to make a difference, the water level is still dropping even with the drain lid raised. To answer another question, yes we have a toilet upstairs. This is fine though, water level is sitting in the same place it always has. Someone else mentioned it may be a...

Hey guys, Well we've had everything checked now, had South East Waters sewage team out to investigate and they're none the wise either. They cheked the toilet and nothing wrong with that, no cracks or blockages. They've had the man hole up near the toilet and the one in the street and...

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I've had the manhole cover up and the drain looks to be clear. As soon as you flush the toilet you can see the water pouring down into the sewer pipe. We've had a guy from Thames Water out this morning to have a look and he's suggested this could be due to...

Hi guys, Over the last week or so our downstairs toilet water level in the bottom of the bowl has dropped significantly. It's ok when you first flush but go back an hour later and there is little to no water left apart from a small puddle and we've started getting some rather pongy smells...

Hey guys, Quick question... hopefully i'll get an answer here if not where's best on the forum to get an answer. Anyway, now winter is setting in, i've got the heating on in the pallet shed. Heating is a 4kw gas heater and although it gets nice a warm, around 20c on 2kw settting there is a...

Fujifilm finepix cameras are in my opinion the best Digi cams around for quality of image, functionality and price, really affordable with the style of a DSLR. Something cheerful like the S1600, its cheap but will do everything you need it to and more, a worthwhile investment...

I laid a rubber roof system last year on my flat roof, is was so easy to be amost laughable at some of the quotes the pro's gave me... between £1600 & £2000 for the material and labour. I paid £350 for the rubber, glue and trim from these guys http://www.rubba-seal.co.uk/home and did it...

treatment is always the best policy with woodworm, but you're better off leaving the wood somewhere dry and checking for fresh sawdust on the surface... its easy to spot and if there are any live worms in there you'll soon know. I just treated a load of reclaimed floorboards I got and the...
