Haha nice idea. I plan to put a side door in the garage so maybe I'll see to it this brick is deleted. Until then flower power might be the answer

It's a pitched roof. I'm guessing they have to go all the way to the top as the walls are 3m away from existing house wall. Thanks

Hi all, I built my garage walls and didn't notice till it rained that one brick right slap bang in the centre is the wrong way round. The bricks are heathers and I'm wondering if I can add some texture and redness to it so it doesn't stand out. I could cut it out and replace it. I will probably...

Hi all, I'm extending a garage forward. Single skin wall with piers at the front. I am upto lintel height now and wondered if I can just do a standard corner for the next 7 courses. I have a feeling I have to build the piers to roof height as the walls project 3m from existing garage. Thanks for...

I found this part in the glove box of a car I bought recently and not sure what it fits. The car is a 2010 honda civic. Thanks for reading

I managed to get the shaft in just by spinning the hub with a jack under lower ball joint and a g clamp pulling the hub towards the shock. Car works a treat and now has no knocking noise

A mate of mine reckoned the inner shaft has popped out the engine. I shall get underneath today and have a better look I had a tooth out yesterday so had a lazy day and lots of soup

Hi all, I swapped out a knackered shock yesterday. All was going well until I put the new shock in and noticed I can't get get hub up enough to put the second strut to hub nut/bolt in place. I have a feeling the shaft at the engine end may of come out a bit. I've tried a few different...

Thanks. The dpc is 6 course above ground level, is that uncommon?

Thanks for the reply

Hi all, I'm building a single skin garage wall and am wondering whether I need to put the wall starter kit below the dpc? I understand I might not put a fixing below dpc. I have quite a high dpc. 5 or 6 courses up from ground level. Also anything special I need to do when joining the new dpc...

3330mm is what the plans are for...

Sorry my bad... total width of garage is 3330mm

Thanks for the replies all. I've decided to go with an 8ft door which is 244cm. 244 + 44 + 44 = 332 I'm guessing 2 cm over won't be an issue with the planners? Some garage doors hang off the backside of the piers so with that in mind 8ft opening would be fine. We've decided on a brand called...

Thanks for the reply Charlie. I'm hoping I can build the opening to a standard size to keep the cost of the door down. Are doors readily available in 2420mm?

Hello, I'm building a single garage and wanting to know what the standard opening size is for the brickwork. I've measured another single garage and that is 228cm inside of the opening brick to brick. I have been granted permission for a 3.3m wide garage. I was going to build piers that are 47cm...

The normal chain puller works for most applications but there's a couple of odd jobs where the gap is bigger and the opening width of the chain tensioner isn't enough.

We are meant to drop the drive shaft to release tension from the chains but doing it this way saves alot of time. The boss doesn't mind but he just has to turn a blind eye to the modified tools for insurance and liability reasons.

Thanks for the replies. Yes I forgot to say a car spring compressor tool would work great but id have to modify it then hide it when it comes to tool checks by my boss. Other than that it would be perfect. Thanks for the links. I have some fuel filter pliers on the way which are similar. As...

Ok managed to shift a fair amount of the brake dust. The wonder wheels wasn't much better than the CIF. The colour changing additive wonder wheels uses seems to be a bit of a gimmick. The thing that shifted most of it was a dishwasher pad and me scrubbing hard. All brushes and sponges seemed to...
