I am in the market for a new set of grips. I only work on residential systems - mainly 15mm and 22mm fittings. I already own a bahco adjustable spanner. I've had bahco, rothenberger and Knipex suggested to me. Can I please get your view on what you guys use on a daily basis and also is the...

I went in the loft over the weekend and had a good look and sniff around. I don't see any nibbling or additional droppings. I thought it would be wise to put something up there as a precaution

did you have a certain type of mesh in mind? Sorry, not had any involvement with this type of thing previously.

Wow! Similar to that video, I have a vent like this for my kitchen extractor. How do I make this rat/mice proof?

If I use 4x2s for the roof rafters, what can I use for fascia? Please let me know if there is a solution for this.

Thanks for all the responses. Let me try and answer them here. Cats - I’m working on that. More convincing to do ;) I’ve seen some droppings in the loft. My LA doesn’t offer any pest services. They refer us to local companies. I also live in the countryside and we back into some fields...

I suspect that I have mouse in my loft. I’ve come across some multi-kill traps that are connected to an app. This would save me having to get up there and check regularly. Has anyone used these and provide some advice on this please.

I don’t think the sheds do 3x2 as treated timbers?

I’d welcome any suggestions on this please.

I could stick it in the garage for a couple of weeks before I use it, if that helps? I suppose it will still get during the build.

Are there slim fascia’s I can use for the 3inch roof rafters?

Effectively, tarpaulin always needs to Cover the OsB board. Whether roof or floor. I then just need to pick a decent day for the rubber roof. Would treated timber studs swell too?

Is this a good idea guys? I am quite busy over the summer season and wondering if I can do this project over the winter. I will need to build this over weeks/months and wondering whether parts of it will get damaged whilst out in the rain. I can purchase treated timber for the stud walls but...

Sorry, it’s not quite 3 inches. I’m considering these for the stud walls https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Studwork-CLS-Timber---38-x-63-x-2400mm/p/107177

Would 3x2 stud work be strong enough for 4x2 rafters with a rubber roof? The shed will be 2.5m x 2.5m and the 3x2s are considerably cheaper when ordered from the DIY sheds. Please let me know your thoughts.

I think I’m good in that case. Thanks guys.

Sure. I was wondering if I haven’t monitored it for long enough and it will start seeping in a few hours - as an example. My concern is that it’s not fully tight but may be that’s not necessary?

I replaced one of these and applied 15 wraps of PTFE tape. When I tighten this, I could go another half turn but that will mean the tap is pointing sideways! Is the current level of tightened good enough and will it drip over time? Seems to be okay at the moment.

Is a compression coupler a suitable option too? I feel like the hep20 fitting is way too bulky.

How do you hold in place when the pipe is vertical?
