Cheers I just bought a really good second hand car for £600.00 I thought they would be more

Thank you for the reply That is yet to be confirmed Whats the easiest way of confirming that Cheers

Hi I have a pre cast concrete house and would like to extend it No one else has done a full extension on the street Looking through planning permissions all other extensions are built around existing openings I was wondering if it is feasible to cut a larger opening in this type of...

Hi How much should 6 windows and 2 doors cost in upvc? I am just after a ball park figure to get a feel as to whether I can afford these before I waste peoples time getting a quote. all windows are circa 1m x 1m Cheers

Hi I am building a extension on the side of the house and need to form an opening, the architect has said that it is probably wimpey No fines but you can see the fines It looks like Tarran but I know nothing about this. I am guessing that if it gets cut into there most probably will be steel...

Hi Thanks for the reply Its not necessarily bad ground. I would definitely get further advise before trying to do the piling myself, in fact I wouldn't do the piling myself. I was merely wondering how much this scheme costs when compared to installing a cantilevered retaining wall? The area...

Hi Just wondering if any one had any knowledge of this type of construction and how the cost compares to traditional retaining walls? Cheers

Hi I have angle grinders of all sizes but am worried about cutting a straight line as the cut side needs to go up against a unit. and you only get one chance. Big al I did google the reducers but didnt come up with anything.

Thanks for the advice. Sounds plausible. I'll look into it may have to hire one. Still wouldn't mind if you can get these reducers?

I think this wall, if it is attached to the next door in any way would class as a party wall. I'm pretty sure it is a legal requirement to give your neighbor notice of any work that may effect their wall. The two month notice is very rarely seen out as next door usually say yeah or no within a...

Hi I need to cut some granite (Work top) and the best tool I have for this is a circular saw. But the saw has a bore of 16mm and the blades I need have a bore of 22.23mm. Does any one know of either where I can get a reducer from 22mm down to 16mm. Or know a better way of cutting granite, I...

It looks to me like there may have been stone stone coins in the corner and rather than repair they have put some brick in?

Hi you don't say what grade these joists are as if they are C24 you can get a bit extra out of em.

I agree with Wessex101 theres not an SE I know that would just blindly say stick a load bearing wall on top of quarry tiles and that will be ok. If it is in line with an old wall position there is obviously footing under it? Is there something missing here?

This is an interesting post. But am I missing something? what made the SE assume that a supporting wall built randomly would be ok without foundations? I take it this new wall has not been built in an area where there once was a wall? and are you also saying that 50mm underneath your kitchen...

I think it depends on who you have asked i.e. stone masons will be 100 per m. I agree with noseall 40 per m is about right no one will do it for 18 to 20. Given that they have to rebed 8m or 100 bricks I would say £600 would be fair.

There should be a calculation that comes with the calculation for the beam that shows that the bearing is adequate it is likely that the brick work is adequate. If not then as long as the load can spread down to the foundations it may just be a case of inserting a padstone under it. A pier is...

Cheers The shower is only a couple of weeks old and only osed a few times. I can turn the valve but it does nothing? I guess your saying that its knackered. Andy

I have managed to remove most of it I finally got to this which is held on by a clip [/img]
