Thanks guys. Some good info here. It seems the Rage may not be the one to go for if Im seeking accurate Mitre joints :( Also, ive got a 9" grinder if I need to cut metal so Im not so bothered about losing that aspect. I just thought it was a good price for a well specced saw with good...

Has anyone got one or got any reviews on them? Im about to invest in a decentish (hopefully) mitre saw as Ive got sick of cutting loads of timber and am going to need one for some extensive skirting boards and architraves that Ive got to do shortly. My budget is £150~ and unfortunately Im...

I agree. I used to own a Makita cordless grinder and it was pants. Also, the 18v makita cordless I bought a ear or so ago, while being good in regards to battery life, is pretty feeble when lined up against De Walt or even Bosch cordless of the same voltage. (torque wise) back on topic...

Pictures are needed to give useful advice on this. but yes, refelting the roof would be a good start! The current weather is a test of any shed so you need to picka dry day , buy some quality felt, and refelt the roof using new galvanised felt nails. Depending on how much you care about...

That looks puurfect for some shelves

Wow!! I bet his 'platerboarding ' is quite interesting too :lol: I cant believe the number of hatchet harrys that try and describe themselves as 'skilled' tradesmen :shock: It should be an imprisonable offence :D

Dont skimp on the flooring if you want it to lay well, look good, be hardy and strong, and last a long time... Thats not to say that cheapo £15sqm flooring wont do the job. it just wont do as good as job as the stuff WoodYouLike sells Another thing to think of is how the product has been...

Some Good advice their shytalkz. For heating I would go with storage heaters on economy 7

I agree. £100 is low IMHO for roofing. A few mates of mine are roofers and they wouldnt work for less than £200 a day...you've got to factor in the risk of the job. Equipment usage/hire..at least thats how they justify it :lol:

Wow! Sounds like a nightmare neighbour :shock: :twisted: I cant visualise what you are saying about their extension and your wall being linked?!! and the drainpipe issue is also hard to work out from words alone... Can you please post some pictures showing the possible issue with...

Any good small engineering/fabrication firm should be able to do this for you. Measure up what you need, make a drawing up showing shape and size and take it along... with regards to treating the metal for anti corrosion, you could see if they could get the pieces galvanised. or...

As thermo says screws and rawl plugs will be fine. You will need galvanised screws (preferable) or zinc plated ones to keep them from rusting away. 1 1/2" or 2" galvanised Number 8s or 10s should do the job nicely if I have estimated your materials height correctly (2.5-3cm) and the fact...

No offence MDbalson what the heck is that 'wiring' running to and from the shed? It sure as hell isnt armoured cable and if thats a finished product I suggest you put off the BCI for a while :lol: That bypasses nearly all electrical regs ever invented :wink:

Wow. The original poster has certainly got some excellent advice in this post :shock: :wink: Collective 'real world' experience of XXX years counts for FAR more than a Damp proof salesmans word...

It looks like a nicely made cabin going on the pictures. I would say it will be infinately better than a Wickes or B and Q jobbie, but is also more expensive. Cuprinol or another quality woodstain will be needed, and I would personally apply two coats to the cabin once its built. (let the...

This is a MUCH more accurate summary of the planning regs to the OP http://www.rotherham.gov.uk/graphics/YourHome/Planning/Development+Control/Householder+Guidance+Leaflets/_building_detached_garage_carport_other_building.htm

i dont think its half teh garden Big All I thought it couldnt be larger than 20% of the total garden size?

So where is the OP? a bit rude to post...get a load of answers and never return IMO :roll:

Ive got an oak tree you can have if you like? Its a couple of hundred years old though (total guess) and about 6ft diameter and 60 + feet tall :?: Would make a good PR stunt and present but carriage charges may be dear :lol:

Ahh. Gotchya .... Thanks Deluks :wink:
