Oh I'm here to wind you up and troll the OP.

Why are you bothering to post then? If not to troll?

It was obvious to me, I don't recall getting a tyre changed in the last 37 years and not getting a new valve.

On the face of it, given the reasonable advice already offered, it seems hard to see how the thread could become derailed and continue for several pages. However ....

No I wouldn't expect the foundations to be inspected, unless say the house was very old and/or the foundations were questionable. The end of a beam sitting on a wall spreads the weight over several metres of its foundation.

What Andy said.

Just make absolutely sure you buy a compatible shifter as if its not the shifter won't sync with the derailleur.

If you buy a secondhand bike you have to expect some DIY repairs/maintenance. My experience of secondhand bikes (unless they're genuinely unused or 1 year old etc) is that they always need some maintenance/new parts to get them in good working order, despite what the sellers might say. Ebay is...

Wood hardener is rubbish IMO, it kinda works OK if you have an old door or something to salvage but don't expect much longevity otherwise its rubbish. Support the existing joists with whatever you have available and replace the columns with like for like, or fill in the holes after you've...

It's absolutely pipe dream nonsense.

Unlikely.

Vertical stripes? I doubt you'll find anything in that style and width as a standard

Have you taken the panel off yet to check it's thoroughly clear of ice?

It won't fail, it might sag a little but it won't fail. Laminated beams? Can't see them being cost effective for small spans.

I'd go with the span tables minus a bit which would be about 5x2 for the 3.2m and 7x2 for the bigger one (400 centres). Noggins 4x2 at 1/3rds.

If you look on the EPC Register you can find assessors close to you, avoiding the likes of Mybuilder.

True, they do and always will serve a purpose legally but that's different to people paying much attention to them.
