Just a reminder from a health and safety point of view, here in mid wales we tend to move our heads and look at the hammer as we strike the chisel, in North wales (anywere above dolgellau) they will look at the strike end of the chisel that your aiming the hammer at. and south of Becon they will...

Now its clearer!! must say the ground conditions look a bit wet/soft, i take it pipe is crossing down by the trailer in the picture? as you say if you are renewing with plastic then there will be change to bed and surround with concrete, the drive will never see anything other than standard...

are you saying clay pipe runs across your driveway (full width) or 45degrees across your driveway or even running down your driveway?? Depending on the levels and location of the pipe personally I would look to try and introduce a concrete bed and surround to the pipe, this could be done in...

those joists look solid, the "weetabix" like stuff was probably OSB , nothing wrong with OSB but its not keen on standing out in the rain. what is your "roofer" saying he as to do to put right...as he, or could he offe a written spec for what he is going to do...or is it a strip-rip (as in...
