I'm looking at the single handed chainsaws with a 15cm blade but hear what your saying.

I'm not loyal to any brand which makes battery sharing troublesome and I tend to buy corded as infrequent use nearly always means charging before use. The issue I have with brands comes from working in retail a while back, where I learnt what corners are cut to keep prices down whilst retaining...

Cheers.... Initial purchase will be to tackle one particular job. The hedge is one sided, the rear having been cut back to accommodate a garden building about 16' long. This was done quickly a few years ago and the cut wasn't close to the trunk leaving dozens of hardened protruding 'prongs' and...

Buy good, buy once they say, but with mini chainsaws ranging in price from £20 on Amazon to £190+ for name brands like Stihl, and everything in between I'm looking for genuine reviews from people who actually have one. This for very occasional home use to tackle a Leylandii hedge, old Roses...

Vertical overlapping boards. It was built as a garage around 70 years ago! Much of the timber cladding has been replaced, which is thinner than the original used.

Many thanks, but there are gaps between the featheredge boards.

Just to clarify.........I do use it to store tools and yes, some do get a bit of fine rust on them, but this takes years so not plagued with condensation. I'm asking now because I've a few hundred quid's worth of Makita power tools I'm looking to set up on a bench, to make it more of a workshop.

I've a large wooden shed, around 15' x 8', a former garage so nice and strong, but it's clad with feather edge board with natural gaps that come and go with the weather. It's waterproof but not ideal for keeping tools in during the winter months as it gets damp. I'm looking at putting some...

A belated thankyou. I had a thin plastic dust sheet and that done the job. I'm no closer to sorting it but some of the grout has receded so aim to take a closer look after the summer.

Found them! I've just had a closer look and whereas the weights that had been removed were all on the outer edge - visible in between the spokes, the weights this time have been put on the inner edge closest to the axle. I'm guessing it doesn't make a lot of difference providing they are balanced?

Just had 4 new tyres fitted on the wife's car and none appear to have weights attached, been balanced. There are no obvious issues with vibration or steering wheel judder but I can't recall ever having a wheel escape without some lead attached? Is this unusual?

When I think of digging it starts to look a bit flatter;):ROFLMAO:

It's one of those things I'm aware of and would like to improve and asking a couple of people to walk around to see if they can identify the low point they find it easily so it's not just in my head.:) The missus has her eye on some expensive garden furniture and I don't want to have to put a...

No, it's a repeating but random pattern of 5 different sized slabs. I've tried flooding it with water to see if it puddles but the free draining mortar puts a stop to that idea. If I was to lift a couple of the slabs where the issue is I'd need to back track, lift the next and the next and so on...

We had a new floating (not butting up to any walls) patio about 10ft square laid a few months ago and it has an obvious 'indent' towards one side. Walking across it you can feel it drop away but putting a 6' straight edge across it shows just a few mm difference of around 5mm from one angle...

The missus favours a bit of easy clean UPVC so exploring all options!

We've been looking locally and online for companies that do the style that we want with the opening that we want. Thus far, of the UPVC companies contacted it's 'here's our catalogue', sizes adjusted to suit but they don't step outside their current range. We can go to a timber window...

Of the one's we've found, they offer a range of openings but not with a casement that is hinged at the top, nor with single bars down the centre, top and bottom.

This is the better one of 3, one of which has about a foot wide and inch deep rotten section at the base, and all have been repaired previously. The missus favours a bit of easy clean UPVC so exploring all options!

We have some old Boulton & Paul timber 'Cottage' windows - see photo - that we'd like to replace in UPVC or timber, but cannot find a supplier who does the same format off the shelf, i.e., fixed bottom pains and single opening casement above. Any suggestions, Essex area preferred...
