So, if you can get to the side of the property - although very confined, there you need to dig. lower the ground level. dig to at least a foot below the current indoor floor level (not the finished floor level - but the indoor ground level) then put in a french drain. make sure run-off surface...

If you'r samsung remote does it all, why bother with the sky remote :confused: I'm probably missing the trick here

If you are worried about acoustic issues, then double board it. and use a board lift. photo by Chris, on Flickr

That is a very nice shed (y) However that is not how we do the base, 1 we do not like wood in contact with earth - even treated it will not last long 2 it raises the shed considerably what I would do instead of these 6*6 beams on which he lays the frame use pad stones on every corner and...

I get it, I know about, and a good builder would have known it and would have compensate for this, i now worry for the future - I hope you have good guarantees in place I still believe lifting the boards are the way to go, do not worry about the acoustic joists, the rubber blocks should be...

I would nock it down, as you then can hopefully raise it about 2 foot, so you get better headheight - and i'm not happy about the bow in the wall. also that roof is going to be replaced, (as it's metal will give a lot of condensation) which will increase the weight in the wall. just get...

This is in This is in now 5 years, I-joists are set 2 foot in the ground in concrete, this is not going anywhere soon

I agree with Frank, it will just add more instability to your shed (and height).. just place the joists on padstones - that is the most common way in the UK

One of your options for your rainwater issue, which is rushing along side of your youse is a french drain. - although its going to be hard to do with only 1 foot of working space. But you need to dig , get the earth out, get a special weeping pipe in there, and backfill with gravel. is there a...

It should have been done properly from the start - overboarding is a cowboy job, you do not want selfleveling compound The builder should have done it right from the start. that is your right. do not settle for less, until you're floors are level take a level with you, check and check and...

Because square edge are butted together, so when you start to fill it, there is not enough room/space to actually put filler in, so there is nothing to hold it secondly, tapered leaves enough room to make the transition between one board and the other. so when the boards are not completely...

I suggest.. take up the floors and do a good job, everything else is cowboy work. how many rooms are we talking about? is the skirting down already, as they need to be taken off as well?? and he probably wouldn't do it on the second option, and depending how much the floor is out, you could...

Mapei will do fine PS i would tile the whole bathroom, that is what people expect after a renovation(y)

I would tank, we did so in all our 5 bathrooms, and all were newly plastered walls, we even had blueboard behind them - and make sure you put the tape in the corner!!!, it is not expensive and will prevent a lot of hassle later

That is blue board

Looks really good, and what a transformation, you have done really well. The fence looks really straight (y)(y) Top job, now waiting for some grass?

They do special rubber couplings for that just google - 110mm stainless pipe coupling

What is the question, a is the structure sound as you show in the picuture - Yes it is arched brickwork is how the ancient people did it, whole cathedrals are build by this structure b or do you want to take it out and is your question if there is a lintel above it - that i cannot tell you

The difference in 33* and 34* is not enough to worry about. There's more slop than that between the nail and the magazine. Usually the box of nails will list the brand and model nailers that they will fit.

if you can stretch it, yes why not, (that is hardibacker on all the walls, but you still need to tank the shower cubicle) if the boards are nice and flat on the walls, then there is no need to plaster it. and for the ceiling i would use proper bathroom paint, which is good for a high moisture...
