Could you not just wedge something underneath to hold the brick in place and then when the next course is laid it will hold the back of the brick down and it won't tilt into the cavity and you can remove the wedge. Perhaps a small piece of galvanised metal sticking out from under the brick on...

I've used these spacers in the past in a similar situation...

Looks good. Can't imagine anyone managing to climb over that gate.

A proper pipe bender is only £40, takes some of the chance out of the operation. https://www.screwfix.com/p/heavydutypipebender/18255

I think I would be looking to build a little platform under the hatch, lift the beam up onto the platform, and then on into the loft from there. Better than trying to do all the lift in one go.

Looks like the BBC decided to just not report this story as I cannot find it anywhere on their site. Sky did though, but they had to add the 'despite brexit' tag. "An annual ranking has declared the UK to be the best country for business next year, despite uncertainty over Brexit." -...

There are 15 examples from the BBC on that link I gave, somebody else did the searching I just used their list to save me time. Here's 83 examples from the Guardian...

'despite Brexit' . . . . . . as the BBC will no doubt add.

You'll get used to it. Just don't ask them what rating of fuse you should use....... that one could go on for a long time.

I'll admit to being another fan of Valspar. Their V700 range (which they used to call 'trade') covers superbly (could get away with a single coat a lot of the time, if desired and of course if applied with care), has very good opacity, thins well for cutting in and flows well when that's done...

What about some Dukkaboard. That should tick all your boxes. I used it under the tiles for my kitchen floor and I have used it more than once when tiling the walls in a bathroom. http://www.dukkaboard.com/products/original-panel/

Went to a Screwfix branch yesterday and as usual it said 'pull' on the inside of the door. Ignored that and pushed it anyway........... turns out the doors do go both ways. Perhaps I shouldn't always do as I'm told like my mother said. And I'm definitely not another corbynista anarchist, I...

The grid switches are the only thing on that circuit (the sockets are on a seperate ring) and the CU is just the other side of the wall so only short runs of cable and both cables are the same length.

When I built the kitchen in my new extension I placed a socket behind each of the appliances. These then had their cables run back to a single point and connected to grid switches. By wiring the grid switches input feeds in a loop I could create a dedicated 'appliance ring'. This gives a central...

I'll be going to the Gillingham branch tomorrow, I will try pushing the door, depsite it saying pull, when I leave and see what happens ;)

On the subject of Screwfix. At all the Screwfix branches I use you have to push the doors to get in, but then when you want to leave with your arms full of stuff you need to get a hand free to pull the door to open it. Would be so much easier if the doors where the other way round then you could...

For cutting out individual bricks I use one of these on an angle grinder to remove all the mortar around the brick and then it just drops out. Just don't force it and let the tool do the work, letting it cool down every few minutes, or you'll snap it and it gets expensive to keep replacing it...

Land mines for moles........ I've seen everything now. I use the NoMol traps and have had a good deal of success with them. They aren't particularly cheap, but they get the job done. I have placed them in a field used for exercising dogs at a kennels I do work for and as these remain...
