    Anyone used prop pals?

    I imagine the XL strong boys would be perfect to reach the far side. I'd have to do that from the inside and have the steel outside. Cheers

    Anyone used prop pals?

    That would be my choice. But I've heard and read that's only really safe on a bungalow.??

    Anyone used prop pals?

    For me they could be worth it. Instead of a piece of 4x4 timber these are about 60mm high apparently. Which would mean I can possibly get them above the steel and under the floorboards of the bedroom above. Otherwise it would have to go higher up and sit on top of the bedroom floor.

    Anyone used prop pals?

    As it happens I've got that problem with the inner hollow blocks being no where near level with the outer brick wall. Was thinking I might have to find a tool that can cut the block neatly all the way through to match the arris of the brickwork. I am tempted by using strong boys on both walls...

    Anyone used prop pals?

    I'm thinking about giving these a try. I think they only came out a couple of years ago. They can slip through a gap the size is a brick and have a handle on them at one end to wind it up the last bit rather than fight with the acrow handle. Just wondered if anything has any thoughts on them...

    Best video doorbell

    Hello, just wondered if anyone's got a recommendation for these. Not sure if one company is better than others or maybe there are Chinese ones on Amazon that can do a job?

    When the dealer says "part exchange to clear"

    Am I right in thinking that this means the dealer is excusing himself off any come backs? Cheers

    Whose job is it to do dry valley on the lay boards.

    Oh thanks. A bit confusing though as I've had a quote for a job with these valleys obviously necessary. The price is massively over what I was expecting and there's no mention of the valley or materials needed included.

    Not sure if it's the carpenter or tiler that does this. Or a bit of both?

    Gas meter box build in

    Was wondering if anyone knows anything about how these need to be put in. I'll attach a picture that SGN gave out but I'm not sure about it. Firstly they seem to be saying that a membrane above should be 1300mm wider than the box. So that would be nearly 1700 wide and unless I'm mistaken that...

    single story side entrance will be main entrance - has anyone seen this before?

    Its a shame the roof angle couldn't be the same on the porch as the existing on this one. I think the door being the same colour as the windows helps though.

    When a wall needs to be lightweight blocks downstairs and concrete upstairs?

    Have you started yet? I think I'd do the porch inner walls with concrete blocks. Solves that issue and not a lot of difference regarding warmth.

    Anyone remember last year's minimum u value for cavity walls?

    Morning thanks for your reply. The application went in around 2021. Foundations were poured about this time last year. The building control company has been in touch by email saying that the new regs would be in effect if works had not started by a particular date in June last year as that was...
