I thought it would be less prone to staining than say bricks....(if it were sealed anyway) But im open to correction on this!

Literally anything!! Any sort of DIY thats too dirty to do inside! I do have a garage but some work lends itself to being @ the back door. I could be breaking an engine one week...just servicing a bike/plumbing/carpentry anything really. This week for example ive been a tree surgeon...

Yeah maybe it would ... I'd still prefer something along the lines of concrete as I envisage working out there occasionally. Is a polished concrete slab a hard thing to achieve. Cheers Marty.

Something like in pic 4 http://goldstarplasticsireland.ie/carports-and-canopy/ I have bricks for the floor.

Hi there, Im wanting to lay a concrete slab at the back of my house. About 5M * 4M. There wont be anyone driving on it however i am going to put a canopy over it (clear Polycarbonate roof on steel frame) It will be a lean to roof with only a very small angle and the roof will be attached...

Yeah that would sound about right...the flow is keeping it cool when first run. But when shut down the heat built up on the face of the stat is not been taken away because the scale is insulating it. Ill rip it apart and report back...unfortunately the only way to test this properly will be...

There is also the CM921...the cm927 allows you set different temperature profiles for different days of the week....maybe overkill for what you want. I have the 921 and i have installed them for others and they are a great bit of kit. Re the TRV's: Decide on a room that the stat will live...

I understand Agile...water and electronics and naked people is a bad mix!! However times are tough and id rather not splash out on a new one if i can repair it. ...just looking for pointers before i open it up. Ive replaced a motor and a solenoid in a mira before and thats still running :)...

Hi there, We have a Triton T90Si at home...its been great. However lately if i have a shower in the morning, it will work absolutely perfect...but if i shut it off and the misses gets in it even 10 or 15 minutes later sometimes it wont heat up for her.... As you can imagine my misses isnt...

Any laquer that can go on ply to waterproof it?? Dint think I'll be going the Marley route... :) !!

Building a trailer for camping stuff... It needs to be dry inside b It's a metal frame with timber roof. I need to put some sort of vinyl/Epdm/ membrane on the roof to keep the water out. Any ideas on an affordable solution?? Needs to be thin durable and waterproof(and not look like...

Hi there Haven't been here in a while... Built a garage in 2007 with help from here and it's holding up well... Was my first time doing any sort of concrete work. Slate roof,velux windows, parapet gutter to neighbours boundary wall, wired it with it's own consumer unit plumbed it, electric...

Got an epoxy tape today. Before I applied it I got a wire brush to the pipe and it all but disintegrated. Anyway I've the epoxy stuff on now so I'll see tomorrow if it's holding pressure.. I reckon it will but I'm fearful of an elbow closeby not holding up. I'd say I'll end up plugging...

Cheers Tony. Are you aware of any tape systems?? I'm sure I came across one before where you activated the tape befoe you wrapped it around leak and it formed a grp when it went off. I'm hesitant to put ackamp in it as I fear the pipe will crumple. Cheers Marty.

Hi there My mums heating starting filling with air at a rapid rate recently. Had a look and decided there wad a pretty bad leak under the floor. After a bit of investigating located the leak... Under 4 inches if concrete under a wooden floor. Anyway I excavated it today and have a nice...

Hi there What is the correct name for these units? A mates has gone faulty and I want to have a quick look at wiring diagrams etc or different ones before I look at it for him It's in his attic and by the sounds of it has been installed on a consumer unit up there From how he explained it...

Jacked it up tonight. Put it on axel stands and ran it in gear etc all seemed fine no inconsistency etc. I think the wheel juddering at lower speeds was down to low pressure in the tyres. Pumped em and it seems to be ok. There is still however that click/hard bit to overcome whenever I steer...

Lads, First thanks for all the replies...have some stuff to go on now!! I still dont think its the UJ (i hope it is tho as its an easy fix!!) because when you are driving along slowly the steering wheel jitters left to right of its own accord...it would seem to me like there is an...
