My Samsung LCD TV was working fine then all of a sudden the screen lost its picture and a variety of coloured pixels appeared. Audio is still present. The coloured pixels change colour from time to time, mostly thougth its faded to black. Same for every port, HDMI, Component, Scart etc. Is...

Ok thanks gents, much appreciated

Ha Ha, Seriously thougth are these 100x 38mm studs readily available? or should I just tell him to change the drawing and use standard material. I dont give a monkeys what I use but I dont want to be paying over the odds to satisfy the drawing.

Im doing a garage conversion, the drawings from the architect have come through and hes specifying 100x38mm studs for internal walls, is this the norm, I thought 100 x 50 was standard

Thanks for the tip, theres a TravisP local to me so as you say Happy Days!

Out of interest do you known who distribues it,(build centre etc) Would be good to known as celotex is a flipping fortune. sorry i dont have any information on it Im just a DIY doyle looking to save a £

The joists are 125mm deep

It is tempting I must admit to try that route. Im not trying to cut conrners too much but come on how much condensation are we talking about here if a minisucle gap is missed? is it such a serious problem. Appologies for my ignorance but hey its a DIY site :D so shoot me down if im talking rubbish

Have checked other posts from this site and "Woody" suggests that in theroy that a gap is not necessary so long as all the space between joists is completely covered, a combination of rockwool hard up against the OSB covering all space then solid celotex over that. This way no condensaiton can...

I they probably will. Im getting some drawings knocked up by and an architectural technologist (friend of a friend) It will be interesting to see what he says on the subject. Those drawings wont be available untill next week so I will post back then.

All excellent advice gents, thanks. A warm deck may be the answer, my reluctance is cost and the fact that just above the garage attached to the house wall I have an AC condensing unit and pipework. Raising the roof may interfere with that, also when fitted will the plyback be capable of being...

After removing a small section of the OSB board theres nothing behind it just felt, Who knows what the bits of insulation are sticking through the gaps in the OSB are. Now I have a sodding tiny hole in the felt and its dripping (brillient) oh well at least I know. So whats the verdict...

OBS board yes sorry that's it not chipboard just googled it, I'm not sure what's behind it but will investigate later and write back cheers

Wont removing the chipboard and insulaton behind knacker the roof covering above. Or are you suggesting I completely recover the roof. That would be my concern. If I went down the rout of insulting between the josts would I have to install eaves vents and Mushtoom vents for air flow though the gap?

Oh bugger I thought (hoped) with the insualtion above the chipboard the It would be classed as Warm Oh well think I will do as the Celotex data sheet says on garage conversions for cold roof upgrades and: place 75mm between the joists leaving 50mm gap then overlay with 30mm below the...

Garage conversion underway. The roof is flat, Joists support the roof on the inside and above the joists is chipboard and poking out of the gaps in the chipboard is fibre insulation. Does this mean I have a warm flat roof? I need to insulate between the joists using celotex. As I understand...

Right you are, thanks. Think Iv got it sorted in my head now, until the next problem arises :roll:

Thanks Delux, thats much appreciated, do you think 1 course of bricks is necessary for the entire square of the space Im making of just the door area? Re retaining the garage door, Z wife wants to sell up somewhere down the line but has it in her mind that a future buyer may want to change it...

Sound like a good idea. Not sure i follow you with the brick situation. to clarify: Lay 2 cources of regular brick from the garage floor. The DPM that I am putting on the floor will lap over the brick and the timber stud sole plate placed directly on top of the brick with DPM sandwiched...

Fan bloody tastic. Thought I would need to build a brick wall first, that will save me loads of messing about. I have already informed Building control of my plans and am awaiting a decision, (god know when that will be) I hear what your saying about noise, and Im sure there are things that can...
