Was already thinking about the rope thanks. 40mm, sounds like a job for a solvent weld pipe.. o_O

With the internal diameter of the 20mm corrugated being 15mm, I guess I will purchase the 25mm and it will be a push! Thanks about the minimum bend radius info, luckily I love sweepy bends

That goes to show my utter inexperience for all things decking! Thanks for that guys! Do you think a 4mm SWA will pas through easily a 20mm corrugated or will I need the 25mm one?

Hi all we are starting to build some decking in our property; at the bottom of the property we could potentially build one day a garden room - but perhaps not. Would you lay some corrugated conduit when building the deck, so cables can be easily slid under the deck when/if the day comes that...

Thanks for the inputs. We tried a sample of the Osmo Top Oil (two coats as instructed), which seems to be a bit more sealing than Danish Oil, however if the water/wine is left for some minutes, it still seems to leave a mark. In the instructions it says that with the Osmo the worktop will be...

Awesome, thanks! Do you reckon Osmo Top Oil (of which rI ordered some samples already) will enable us to leave water standing for some minutes and not mark the top? Of course we aim to wipe dry asap, but I am sure accidents will happen. Separately, for where the worktop has had these blemishes...

Sorry!! Forgot to attach pictures Spots by the cooker, caused by a pot of boiling water when we lifted the lid off of it. These were wiped straight away. A blemish which we aren't sure of the origin Those two drops are water that was wiped with a cloth within the space of 30 seconds.

Old, you are probably right. However, our back garden has been a tip for too many yeas and the missus is having a nervous breakdown over it, so it is in the plan to suss it out this spring. I am sure she wouldn't be too thrilled by having the whole length of it dug out this autumn! Unless we...

I see, thanks for the clarification and correcting my (mis)understanding! I'd love to see the mechanical mole in action :D but it sounds like quite a bit of a job, so probably we will end up scrapping the idea and simply bringing a big pitcher down everyday!

Thanks for your reply Muggles. I am aware of the importance of water mains coming into the house in MDPE pipe at 750mm depth, in fact we replaced the water main from lead to MDPE last summer and done all of the above. Trenching 750mm in our back garden through hard clay and rocks for a length...

TLDR: Bamboo worktop, which oil is the most indicated? I hear Danish Oil is good enough, is Osmo Top Oil a level head? We are looking to achieve a well sealed, truly impenetrable worktop. After having some make-shift OSB worktops for more than a year, we finally decided on some bamboo worktops...

Embarking on a deck project soon, so need to lay some cables and pipes for a potential garden room to be built later on at the bottom of our garden, which is 40m long If we were to have running water in the garden room, can we run a speedfit / hep2o pipe along the party wall? Our side of the...

Hi all, looking at redoing our front path by using some thick 9 inch quarry tiles, in lieu of the current thinner, smaller quarry tiles. A trench was dug last year for a new pipe, hence why we need to replace them. As you can see from the picture, our door frame sits on a bit of stone which...

Perhaps an odd question, mostly I seem to stumble across two different approaches when looking at tutorials on how to build a timber decking: A. Several posts, joists bolted to posts and decking boards laid on top of joists B. Fewer posts, few beams bolted to posts, several joists laid at 90...

Not entirely sure, hence why I am writing here. Planning portal mentions https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/43/outbuildings Which in hindsight I should have done a better job at interpreting it myself Meanwhile this renowned design building website states...

I would think so, planners would find it hard to justify for us to build an outbuilding stretching to 3m high and on the boundary, thanks to the wall on one side and the neighbours garden being on an elevation of 1.5m on the other side. Regardless of height, I am still uncertain what the public...

On the topic of garden rooms and Permitted Development. We live in a very standard terraced house but our garden is somewhat peculiar: the end of the garden has a highway on one side, a neighbour which erected (no idea when) a 3m high wall made out of concrete blocks and another neighbour whose...

Hi all, We've got a bathroom upstairs which we have fitted a couple years back. The floor is made out of original floorboards and it usually is fine; however when we have (inconsiderate?) guests over, there's always water pooling on the floor around the bathtub. Sometimes that causes problems...

We have air bricks on our Victorian property front room, 3 in the bay. Because the outside level is so high, the air bricks are actually higher than the internal floor level and the bricks end up venting right behind the skirting boards! As we've redone the whole floor, I've installed 3 pvc...

Hi all, removing some skirtings we found injection holes, in a room which has damp problem. Was wondering if there is a known data when the (absurd) practice of injecting a DPC all started here in England, particularly South West?
