    Setting out blockwork from foundation

    Thanks so much for the reply. So the technical term is screw the beds down. Love it. Good to know that the beds are pretty much stable once dry. I was at Hampton Court palace the other day and noticed the mortar between the bricks there was really small. Amazing consideration those bricks must...

    Setting out blockwork from foundation

    I purchased a red one to tile my bathroom a few years ago and have just kept with that. I bought a receiver last night and that certainly beats trying to find the laser line outside. With blockwork, is it ok to go smaller than the 10mm mortar bed underneath, say at the highest point so then you...

    Setting out blockwork from foundation

    Ah, that's great. I have a 360 laser level so I should be able to do this. But, as you say, it is hard to see in daylight, especially when sunny. Mine is also red so even trickier. Thanks so much for your help.

    A laser level with a square function, does it measure the diagonal then or just square a corner?

    Setting out blockwork from foundation

    Hey, good morning and thanks for the detailed diagram. It is very informative. I see where setting out is the most important part of a job, get this correct and hopefully all should go well. I imagine it can be quite hard working around all those lines though. Thanks again for your help.

    Hi Woody. Thanks so much for the reply and advice. When you say search, do you mean on the forum or actually look it on on the web? Hopefully you are still sleeping as your reply was nearly midnight. Cheers

    Setting out blockwork from foundation

    Hi all. I hope you are well. I am in the process of building a summer house in my back garden. I have just poured the concrete foundation which didn't go as precise as I had planned. The lads pumping in the concrete were pretty hasty at 6.30pm and kept telling me that being 10mm lower in some...

    Adding a wetroom while screeding.

    I see what you mean. I was looking at schluter wetroom kits and some of there formers have a 40mm fall if over 1200mm long.. Well between 1-35 to 1-80. I guess a preformed one that you cut into the screed could be good but I was kind of wanting it to be heated.

    Adding a wetroom while screeding.

    Now that looks great. Exactly what I am looking for but with a linear drain. I believe a mud pan is a good option. It's just how much screed at the bottom of the fall is not enough. Maybe 10mm of screed on the pir would crumble? Thanks for replying

    Good evening all. I hope you are all well. It is I again and with some more questions. I have pretty much dug the foundations now for the outhouse. By hand and I must say it was hard graft.

    Beam and Block with timber frame Detail

    Hey, thanks so much for your reply. Me and the wife are going over the drawings now with pen and paper and have been struggling. I totally agree that the architect has made a balls up as nothing seems to match. I have the building inspector coming around tomorrow so I wonder what he is going to...

    Beam and Block with timber frame Detail

    Hi again. Sorry to be a pain. So, I printed off the architects drawings and I am now using a ruler to compare the internal area of the build so I know where to start the build (now that i know the only calculation that matters is the internal area wall to wall). If I measure 68mm x 38mm (which...

    Adding UFH to Y-plan system

    It blocks the water from going to the 3 port valve which is always open to one or the other so when the ufh is on the rads or the hot water would get hot without the valve blocking the way

    Adding UFH to Y-plan system

    Thanks for the advice. I Believe this just closes/blocks the water from going to the hot water or heating circuit. I easily could be wrong

    existing Y plan system,adding a second zone for UFH HELP?

    Dear Robin. Thanks so much for your explanation on the clarity of the images and why I could possibly be having issues viewing them. To be honest, I am dated on how to use files, send files, compress files and zip them etc. Yeah, I can see the area of the lou ge in m2 and the bathroom, as you...
