Mine is about 3x3m and fixed to the rear of a single storey 1980’s extension to the house, brick construction so pretty much what you have. Mine slopes away from the extension, so 90° to your plan but I think the same idea. As above, I would fix a batten to the side of the garage, along the...

Isn’t it just a handrail on a flat roof? It looks like Key Clamp Possibly intended as a terrace, but left if no PP was allowed Alternatively just fall protection for the roof. They put rails all over my old building at work, it was built in WW2. Massive footprint, single storey but maybe 3.5m...

Just to throw another idea into the mix, You can get tempered glass panels that also don’t leak. You do need to have flat walls. The glass can be painted on the rear or have photos/images on the rear

I would have thought that if the tiles are intact, you’d just lay the vinyl over them? But potentially wash and or steam clean them to get rid of any smell. Buying bicarbonate from somewhere like a Chinese wholesale supermarket might help, it comes in big bags and if you covered the tiles in...

Having done a quick google, apparently it’s a liability issue to protect the social housing people from climate change against hygiene claims and health and safety . I don’t know the rules for carpets in owner occupier homes but is it possible that the social housing don’t want to be lumbered...

To be honest, I forgot about the lead! If that’s one coat, a second should work well. If sanding, do it outside with a vacuum attached and wear a mask and wash the clothing after, or buy a CSI suit. We have class H vacuums at work but as you likely don’t, if you must sand the door in situ...

It looks quite good for post stripper, I assume that you’ve tried another coat? Covering with clingfilm helps. I’d get the sander out but be careful to move the sander and avoid creating low points.

Thanks. I thought, but wasn’t sure, if barrow mix were deliver only, or offered a pouring and finishing “service” I’d prefer a concrete slab over a timber or gavel / gravel grid base as I hope to use it for my motorbike restorations and general pottering with “stuff” I’ve just retired. Having...

Thanks. Yeah, I was thinking of a bloke with a van and a gopher. The price is what I expected. Haven’t decided on the actual size yet but even half the size would be roughly the same labour wise. I do know a few trade guys who might know someone. I could get a bunch of mates to do some digging...

Looking to buy a self assembly workshop sized shed and will need a base of maybe 20x10. I want to remain in the garden building reg limits and don’t fancy digging out and borrowing a bunch of concrete/gravel to construct a base. I am in Berkshire, have a drive, a front lawn for spoil and...

And it turns out that Trump’s photographer tripped the escalator switch, and Trump’s assistants were running the autocue. You’d have thought that a “stable genius” would have used the identical running escalator that was next to the stopped one.

Always owned manual, might go auto (or electric) I am mid 60’s - many older drivers who switch to auto later in life seem to have trouble and have accidents so would hesitate to switch past 70.

There’s a chart that tracks ice cream sales and shark attacks. Does this mean that sharks are driven to be man eaters by Mr. Whippy?

No idea if it works but a lady that I worked with 20 years ago swore by soap flakes (washing powder for clothes) scattered on the moss. It may not be very “green” but cheap enough to try.

I think what you are asking for is a ceiling mounted fitting with separate lamps? Ie not a “pendant light”? Many are now LED as it’s easier to sell a complete unit and LEDs often outlive the fitting in terms of taste. https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/noesund-ceiling-lamp-birch-20404887/...

List what you have, what you want to use it for with more detail. Lifting is a lot more dangerous than horizontal pulling. Few people would give advice on anything that involved lifting without some more info due to the risk factor. Bear in mind that if something is being dragged, then you can...

You can SORN using the logbook or the tax reminder. Or you can ring DVLA and do it over the phone

Most old galvanised tanks get left in the loft, they are heavy The plastic ones can be removed as they are light, but might have some water left in them. I wouldn’t bother using one for storage, just buy some “really useful” boxes and either ensure that they can sit on at least enough...

My estate has open plan and a covenant on zero fences. .No idea who would enforce it I always understood that the 1M rule was pretty universal. Although the house that I grew up in had 6 foot fences on both sides of the front. However we had a ten foot wall at the front, the road was unadopted
