Hi. Planning on speaking to the DNO tomorrow just wondered if anyone has any experiences of having a looped supply AND a 100A service fuse? I've googled about but cant seem to find if the installer would want a dedicated supply to install a 7KW charger. All the examples I can see is with a...

Hi. I've installed some granite slabs on a row of gabion baskets and not too sure how to grout as there is an over hang on the front edge. Can I just use silicone sealant as pictured? Thanks.

Hi. Parents have a newish build with an alarm installed. Instruction manual states Eurosec CP8L/ They don't use the alarm. This morning, the "main box" inside was chirping for a while then stopped (may have been alarming, but wasn't crazy loud in the background of a phone call). On me getting...

Managed to get a photo of the rear, but cant seem to get an exact match. It's definitely not a smooth tile, so I assume sanded. Colour is a bit more tricky. Closest I could find looks to be a Sandtoft Concrete Plain Roof Tile. Colour: Brindle. Finish: Granulated/Sanded

Hi roof nerds. Anyone know what tile this is from some photos? I can get dimensions if that would help? Cheers.

Didn't end up too bad.

There is a strip of veneer at the bottom, but I have a photo of a previously trimmed door. It looks like the profile carries on top to bottom through the whole door.

I have heard their work is legendary. But there is a long waiting list for such artisan experience. No track saw.

Pretty sure the boiler is heating the water. I'd have to checking the immersion is on. It's my parents house.

Thinking was when I make a mess of it it's further away from your eyes! :D

Hi. Am I right in thinking that the thermostat in the photos should control the temperate of the hot water? Because it doesn't seem to make any difference what ever it is set to. The water is very hot all the time. Thanks

Hi. I'm planning on cutting down an oak veneered door to fit under under stairs doorframe. The hope is to be able to cut out the bottom rail and "graft" back in. Any tips/hints/tricks? Or should I give up now and just make a straight cut along the bottom? Plan A in red. Plan B in blue...

Agreed. I put in the same details my SE entered in his calculations. I would not want to do it from scratch! I just then chose a more suitably sized beam for my needs.

I used https://www.steelbeamcalculator.co.uk/ to educate myself and to find suitable alternatives for the useless steel size my SE supplied. This site is invaluable when doing things yourself.

My experience of SE's is they do the minimum work possible to get an answer that suits them, not your particular circumstances. Tell him thanks but do it again taking into account your requirements. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/steel-bean-cavity-wall-sizes.478881/

Thanks. Will that take vehicle traffic?

Is there any way of repairing this withing digging the whole thing out? It's on a driveway. Cheers. I'm assuming the whole things looks like this?

Cheers all. Might need a plan B. Maybe dry stone walling to hide it...

Anyway to render this cheaply, quickly and easily? :-) Wife wants the bricks and earth contained gone. But may be able to save myself that job if I can can render light grey to match other things in the garden. Someone save my back! Cheers

Thanks both, i've managed to start getting some up. I'm hoping the residual glue is OK to tile on because the only way that's coming up is with the concrete!
