Hi, i have a flat roof garage linking between my house and the neighbouring house, i want to convert the garage to a room and replace the flat roof with a pitched. The building inspector has said about cavity trays where the new pitched roof will meet the existing external walls, does this mean...

is this possible? I currently have the Dell (plugged in for power) connected to my laptop via a VGA cable and connected to my stereo via the 3.5 jack and the red/white audio cables. It is very messy and i was wondering whether i can get a wireless dongle to plug into the Dell and a wireless...

when constructing a new stud partition do i set the studs out at 600mm ctrs and then at the end whatever odd measurement happens to be there happens? or do i space them equally along the legth of the wall? Eddy

i have opened the isolator vavle as much as it will go - that wouldn't explain the lack of heat in the water - all fuses look ok

i checked the main fuses and they all seem in place and correct. some photos to help...

OwainDIYer - thanks for the reply, there are no lights on the unit at all. Do you mean circuit breakers/fuses within the shower unit or in my main electrics?

Last year i helped a mate put loft roll in his loft. We then laid loft flooring to use it as storage. His missus has now said that we need to sort it as things that are stored up there get mould on them. Is this a ventilation problem? My mate thinks the answer is to put insulation at rafter...

i (think) i am using the 25mm ones and the plaster is only 18/20mm in places. I guess i will be drilling/banging with a chisel at the weekend! Do i just repeatedly hit it until bits fall out sufficient to get the box in?

I have installed some metal back boxes on the side of my very old chimney breast. I chipped away the plaster back to brick but the back boxes still stick out a bit. Can you get narrow back boxes or do i need to chip out some of the brick too? Chipping out brick sounds messy and tricky! Eddy

i already have the Document A tables but more and more frequently i was being told by B.C. that my member sizes (oo-er!) were over stressed and need to be increased...thanks freddymercurystwin.
