I agree. Allegedly our local force hotlines were jam packed with callers after this earthquake? What a bunch of idiots! WTF for? One thing the government and police cant control is natural disasters... and they just experienced the same thing :lol: :?: Caller "quick, we need...

and they dont seem bothered about those either!

Have a bit of faith kev :lol: No, your completely right. I never leave feedback for a buyer (immediate payment or not) until they have left feedback for me. I do admire sellers who leave ++ feedback straight away after you pay for an item ASAP, but sadly they seem to be the minority on...

If couldnt find any on screwfix... are you thinking of this type of thing? http://shop.comdir.co.uk/Products.aspx?intGroupID=3155&strProductID=exwtdbmxkm&strWebTemplate=C

Not really. it depends on your current alarm system and how clever it is but depending on routing to the garage (eg/ soil/concrete etc) you could always fit a cabled PIR or 2 from the main unit and program it/them as a seperate zone that is armed even when the house is not (eg at night)...

Thanks Deluks Some good ideas in there. Is it worth me putting a vent at each end to vent the new 'cavity' or is it not worth it do you think? considering there is airflow at present .. Collar ties sound good but they will have to be very shallow to mean that i dont whack my head on them...

It would defintely be sellable. You might not get a huge amount for it but one mans junk is another mans treaure and all that :) As for the asbestos roof, you would need to check, but I would 'guess' that provided the structure is dismantled correctly and the asbestos is not broken up then...

ok chaps. I need some input from you on how you would go about insulating this shed please :) It is to be used as a small workshop/engine building den and as a result I need it to be pretty dry and warm would be a bonus. The base is treated 2x3s wrapped in a DPM and outside that is a wrap of...

Yeah, but he was only kidding :wink: Were'nt you Coljack...... Internet forums are sometimes used in case evidence so it pays to be a bit guarded :?

Cheers Brist

Ahh, right. Thanks Thermo. Countersink here we come then if I want to use them to re affix my gatepost to the wall! And presumably I would need to make the hole big enough for a socket as well :shock:

ok guys. I'm currently in the process of building a new stud partition to create an en suite bathroom in the corner of a very large double bedroom. I would like to you know what is best to use at the external corner 'joint' where the two end pieces of plasterboard meet please? Basically I...

Check around the upper floor of his house and above the roof line for a ventilation pipe or fan..... if he is growing cannabis there will be a very strong smell coming out of it if you for example need to inspect your guttering :lol: The blinds thing is a bit suspect but some people just...

Can you elaborate on the thrubolts please thermo? ive been looking for an alternative to frame fixings for that type of job. Is there a thread 'insert' or something similar that you put into the hole drilled in the wall before bolting? I agree the frame fixings can be a real pain at times...

Good point Oilman :wink: Although I dont know anywhere to buy scaffold planks??! ive gone out and bought some 10mm external ply and am going to screw that on top for reinforcement. Not exactly cheap though :?

Thanks for the input.. With hindsight I think I should have gone for flooring grade ply :? I did think about it at the time but I was trying to keep the cost of the shed in line with still being a shed rather than a small house and hence went for the chipboard. The stand does indeed...

... WHat are the dimensions of the window?/....

ok guys. Ive recently built up a smallish workshop/shed from a 'Waltons' kit and as the floor was so atrocious I made my own. 9ft by6ft 4x2 timber bearers at about 15" centres, with noggins every 3 feet or less! Im using 22mm tongue and groove chipboard flooring as opposed to 18mm and...

Whats the weather been like? and has the door been treated with a grain sealant? Damp, cold weather seems to make some wooden doors get a bit upset, but sometimes when the weather picks up again I have found my door is ok again. I would wait until the weather is decent (average temperature...

Im liking the painting the fence idea :) Good plan.. I would do the same....just dig it discretely while painting your fence and skip the earth if theres a lot or put it in your flowerbeds.. Its amazing how fast a few tonnes of soil disappears into a large garden :wink:
