Tried to join MD group in Somerset.... Said they were full?!

Blimey.... hadn't even thought of that... ( Pitch paradox)... Just saved me some time and money there. Thanks. Most of what I make is a bit heath Robinson meets Beverly Hillbillies. Reckon ?.. I could make it square with the minimum 3m depth to start with where the gutter up against fence, then...

Hello and thanks for taking a look. Our garden is enclosed with a fence that returns to meet the side of the house and I want to made dry a section around 17 Sq/m with a simple lean to using polycarbonate roofing. Not done this before... Can anyone please advise on timber sizes? Not sure of...

Nope. Ringbarking kills trees by removing the bark and insodoing the water transportation. Trees live with hollow centres- no wood in the centre but a healthy transportation/ bark layer. You will need a fresh cut bark in water solution to the problem. Bucket?

Guess it is MMF then, and no, it's not the matter of multiple cards. I have only one CAP card in my wallet.

I have a wallet with built in whatnot. Suspect it is mylar. .. Tap wallet over cashier's scanner. .. nowt. Remove card from wallet and wave card over, beep. So I say it works. Never seen anyone dicking about with foil ....

My eye says it's not. Would I get it tested before disturbing it? Yes! But someone has been at it...?

Sherlock! Yes it does indicate a leak... They are coming on Monday.

Sounds pretty freestyle,,, Thanks. Like the part about not paying, not so much about the 2 weeks to act, hadn't heard that... !

Thanks for reply...Not second guessing you, but is that 300mm from a reg?

Further to my other post about digging a trench for laying a new water pipe... I was looking at options for using a mole/boring service. Seems they give a price which includes a few pits for where the mole hits a big rock and they have to dig down and remove it- we'll have plenty of them...

My wife could not wait to send me a text today while I was at work to say our water bill was a few quid less than £1000. Should have been around half that.... Stopcock off, water meter still spinning. Not a shared supply. = Leak! Measured the leak as approx 107 litres an hour, which is about...

I suspect you are right... and they did noticeably seem to stiffen up even more after day 2 or 3. That said by the time I was tightening the turnbuckles the posts started to deflect all of.......about 9mm..... But then part of the issue was the constant loading (without) the cross member across...

Thanks fo all input. It's not the fruit bushes acting as fence panels and giving the posts too much demand that concerns me. They won't, as you say, make anything like the sail that a panel could. Its that the posts are constantly being pulled at 90 degrees to their normal load direction...

Hetas; stoves have one of two ratings for the heat they project from their underside; over 100c and under 100c. Re your query and one of the options- slate over wood- your stove would have to be the sub 100c underside temp, to be sat on slate which is sat on wood. Stoves that are sub 100c...

I think we deserve it.

Just set a pair of 9' posts into the ground at the allotment, 3' deep in concrete. Plan is to bolt 1" x 1.5" batten into the slot that the fence panel usually slides into. Same opposite side. Then with screw eyes and turnbuckles I'll strain 4 horizontal wires across for wife's fruit bushes to...

Blimey, if it's that deep it'll be pretty strong. So maybe, yeah, mortar then a sealant. Or maybe just mortar, if its falling away from your floor sufficiently....i.e., If you have standing water you obviously need utterly impervious materials to hold the water- as it's got to evaporate itself...

Ah! I see! Thanks for clarifying that. No chance we got that from the first one. I have read they can often 'go'/short after a very long spell dormant, but these were the aluminum cased types filled with oil. Where can you get them from, other than online. Put feelers out for knackered tumble...

Good! It's all a bit amateur ish, but given that they (caps) might just fail, I can go ahead and buy a replacement instead of having to find a/the fault that killed the cap'. Thinking of getting this one...
