    Loft Legs - Are cross beams needed to support the 600mm edge ?

    I am not qualified but.. Are you saying that the edges are 600mm and not supported? How much space vertically is there above the edge? You could ask them to add edge supports. You probably don’t need them.

    Stubborn floor tiles - can't remove! Help

    It’s really dusty but you can buy grinding cups for angle grinders. Having a water spray helps with dust, or use a good wet/dry vacuum .

    Concrete fence posts have some deflection when pushed

    You could get them back to add more concrete? Or carefully dig on your side and expose the face of the concrete and add some post mix yourself. How long have the posts been up? It’s not good to wiggle the posts if the concreted hasn’t set yet

    Fixing newel to this

    is the newel square at the base? You could easily cut a bit out of that joist on top and a bit at the side to get a good fit. It’s a shame it’s veneered. Unless you can get veneer patches from the company.

    NHS app

    I seem to have buggered that as well! Hopefully I will get it sorted soon. I live in the same house, have the same practice and phone number. I work with IT, so it’s a mystery to me how everything’s messed up.

    NHS app

    Tips for removing wooden posts broken and rotten

    That won’t work. I doubt if even the type that is intended to be set in concrete would work. You can buy extensions for spade drills. In the long run, it’s easier to use an Sds and drill out the concrete

    Ground Work for New Garden Shed or Not?

    My shed has been where it is for 40 years. It’s sitting on bearers on what was just grass. When it. Was delivered, although it had been pretreated, we slathered the bearers and base in creosote. Then the panels as it was assembled, making sure that the hidden parts were covered. It was a good...

    Excavation for concrete slab

    I always thought (am a DIY) that the MOT needs compacting, then about 50mm of compacted sand. The DPM sits on the sand or the MOT will puncture it. Could be wrong!

    Hole in Floorboards

    I would lift some more boards to enable a better view. Are any rooms elsewhere in the house boarded with similar that could be borrowed without showing. You could take a sample of the board to a reclamation yard to find similar. Then either use boards from upstairs to fill the hole, and...
