    YOLO It was surprisingly clean and fresh in the loft even with all that going off Roland slept through all the noise

    Quick fire concrete mixing questions:

    I’d put 2 bags of ballast in a decent size wheelbarrow, 1/2 bag of cement, give that a mix, then add as much water as you want to get the consistency you want. Actually I wouldn’t, I’d hire a mixer.

    Is older loft roll insulation likely to be flamable?

    Before my daughter drops her bedroom ceilings she will need to shift the loft insulation. It’s the old itchy yellow stuff. I’m wondering weather she would be better off bagging and binning it then putting fresh back in when the jobs done?

    Bricking up external door

    I just did one using wall starters and it was easy. I used bricks but blocks should be quicker/easier. I’ll get a pro in to do the outside.

    I just had the BMW mot’d for the first time. I took it to BMW the other day and they quoted £224 for rear brake pads and £180odd for a tyre that had a dangerous bulge on the inside. My cousin did the rear pads for £60, I booked in for the tyre at Kwik-Fit, they wanted £151. Got there, he took...

    About 10 years ago I swapped a VR6 engine for an R32 engine in my Mk2 Golf. I took the shell back to bare metal, got brand new seats, brand new trim. 10years later... I would never get rid of it but can’t be bothered to finish it :confused::LOL:(y) Probably a retirement project now. I’m a...

    How much Gravel?

    I just imagined cutting a bulk bag into 9 like a # and thought that would be close. Although when I read the post I thought the trench was 35cm wide :LOL:

    This one wasn’t actually for sale. It’s owned by a guy I met on a Facebook page and it’s the exact spec I’m after (Red, 3door, manual) so I asked if I could have a good look around it and ask him a few questions. I want to find one the same for under £20,000.

    Shallow depth joists?

    Thanks, and a totally unrelated question, do those hollow blocks used to make internal walls ‘back in’t day’ have any structural qualities? Daughters looking to add storage space in the loft but the centre wall is made of them with a 4x3 mortared on the top.
