    Car port timber spans and supports....

    Tried that, kept getting a security error! I've put them on photobucket instead. This is the area in question. As you see I've cleared space further inside the garden. This is the front of the garage, that's 47×100 making the frame of the apex. I plan to bolt one of the 4.8 metre lengths to...

    Car port timber spans and supports....

    I am planning on building a car port in front of my garage. Roughly it will be 4.8×3.6 metres. One of the long sides (A-B) will be bolted to the A frame in the apex of the front of the garage. This was rebuilt by me a few years ago and is 47×100 (or 95? Can't quite remember) with a marine ply...

    Scaffold for 3 floor terrace

    I'd go with the cherry picker if you have the access... http://www.smartplatforms.co.uk/self-drive-truck-mount-hire/ You can also get smaller self propelled models that are delivered on a trailer.

    Decking to support inflatable hot tub on top of old patio...

    I'm looking at decking over our dishevelled patio to take the inflatable hot tub the wife has purchased. The patio is paving on a raised concrete slab. It was with the house before we bought it, so cannot comment on thickness. Ideally, I'm planning to use WPC decking (such as this Eva-last...

    Central heating pump gone - I think.

    Bought a new pump anyway. Sent the Mrs out (as I was at work) with instructions to get a Grundfos UPS2 15-50/60 from Screwfix, of which they had 4 in stock. For some reason she came back with a Wilo Yonos Pico. Anyway, couldn't quibble as she wanted it fitted tonight. Old pump out (water in...

    Central heating pump gone - I think.

    Looks like my pump has gone, I'm resigned to replacing it anyway, but I do have a question. It's been making noises for a while, can't really describe them though. Finally, it's just stopped. The boiler fires then the overheat trip cuts it out because the water isn't circulating. I dint...

    Chipped Acrylic Bath

    And far as I understand from looking at their videos, the products that Cramer offer are slightly different. One is like a ready mixed liquid paint, the other (the one I linked to) is like a 2 part epoxy. And the one I linked to does mention acrylic. I'd be very interested to see the results...

    Chipped acrylic bath

    In the process of working on my bathroom, I dropped the sink in the bath and the waste pipe chipped the surface of the bath. Replacing the bath is not really an option and the chip is relatively small - 10mm by 3mm at it's widest. I'm looking at repair kits as I'm worried about it leaking -...

    Laminate Worktop in Shower Area.

    Fair enough, I thought it might be, but I had to ask. In this case no, because all the cut edges are against a wall, the exposed edge and end are factory finished. However, it's still probably not one of my best ideas, lol.

    Laminate Worktop in Shower Area.

    This might be a stupid idea... I'm nearly finished renovating the bathroom. Colour scheme is white tile, with a subtle hint of marble, for the wall, and black faux stone for the LVT floor and laminate counter tops. The windows were previously boxed in with plain pine boards, no sills or...

    Could this be the supply pipe to my old shower?

    Take a closer look at my last photo. I got a clearer view on that pipe. Definitely painted black with a wierd (NOT A PLUMBING) tee joint.

    Could this be the supply pipe to my old shower?

    OK, I'm think it is an old electrical conduit. Unsure if it's in use. Not going to risk finding out. I can see 2 spurs of the hot and cold further down the run now I have a clearer photo. I think these are going to the downstairs toilet that is built under the stairs and am obvious addition to...

    Could this be the supply pipe to my old shower?

    You could be right. Thanks. So... That begs the question, where is the water coming from. Couldn't see a pipe in the loft, found some conduit cover which I presume will be for the old shower electrics.

    Could this be the supply pipe to my old shower?

    In metal? Looking up the line, looks like there might be solder joints on it. Difficult to tell without ripping up another board.

    Could this be the supply pipe to my old shower?

    Another question... It looks smaller than 15mm. Could it possibly be 10mm? Or is it just an optical illusion?
