    Do you need a vertical dpc below the damp course?

    Hello, I'm referring to where the new cavity wall connects to the existing outside wall. I intend to cut the bricks out and connect the inside wall of the extension to the inside skin of the house. I wasn't going to do this until I got to the dpc height. But is it necessary to do something...

    How to watch Europa League on TV?

    Just wondered if anyone knows how to get the games in the UK. I've been looking online but explanations are a bit vague and contradictory.

    Can you recommend a laser level

    Thanks people I'll check out the recommendations. I used my cross level one the other day when it started getting dark. Got something to work from at each end about 16 metres apart. I did use an audible one over a decade ago whilst doing a swimming pond. Just what you need in bright sun. The...

    Can you recommend a laser level

    It's old, not self leveling, not clear in daylight. Not sure which one it is but I bet they don't make them anymore.

    Can you recommend a laser level

    Think I ought to get a new one. Mines a bit of a nightmare and I've started doing everything with a straight edge and level and it's very slow. I'm talking about outside work.

    Is this a bit dodgy from a car dealer?

    Fair enough but a lot of people don't seem to have a lower price than a fsh one. I think I'd only do it if the miles were quite low and I interned to sell it on fairly soon.

    Is this a bit dodgy from a car dealer?

    To be honest I'm amazed by how many cars on auto trader, car gurus for example that don't have a full history or even any history at all. It makes finding a decent car a bit of a challenge.

    Using XL strong boy props for the first time!

    That's a point the acros might struggle. I don't think three of the five props I'll use have much weight to bear as therye a bedroom window above but better safe than sorry. Cheers

    Using XL strong boy props for the first time!

    I only heard about these a year or two ago. As the name suggests that are bigger and stronger than the normal strong boys. Apparently they can hold up both walls of a cavity which then means you can work on the outside without the acros obstructing you. I like the sound of this and would like to...

    Is this a bit dodgy from a car dealer?

    So a friend has seen a car online. It's with a dealer who has several other cars for sale. My mate emailed asking about service history and any work done previously to the car. He got a reply saying the dealer was selling for a friend who's in the industry and has done any work himself so no...

    Anybody know about mdpe?

    Hello. I need to make adjustments to some mdpe pipe I laid about 6 years ago. Its by a brand called Qualplast but I can't find anywhere selling it. So is there a chance that any fitting I buy will fit? I assume the pipe insert/liner thing would be the problem as things like stop cocks are...

    Putting land drain pipe against the house.

    Yes. Is it ok against the building though? It will probably be on the edge of the foundations.

    Putting land drain pipe against the house.

    I will probably use Acos as well but I probably need land drains(pipe with holes to let water in and out). To move away water that's already under ground.

    Putting land drain pipe against the house.

    Hello. Don't suppose many have had to do this but thought I'd ask. The back garden is at the bottom of a hill and the patio gets a lot of water. I need to get it around the side of the house with land drains but there's only really enough room to have them against the house. I'm not sure if...

    Maximum thickness of mortar bed joint.

    Thanks people. I'll probably use a few different ways as it's a bit uneven as well as generally being 30mm out of gauge. With regards to some is these points below I'll use 3:1 as it's below dpc. As for getting back on gauge gradually I agree. But I'd like to do the first course in concrete...
