Which paint is recommended for applying on to a RSJ? Something like this > Hammerite Smooth Metal Paint Black 2.5Ltr | Metal Paints | Screwfix.com or does some one have any other suggestions? TIA

OK thanks. I may just go for the ones that are cost effective then. I had been told by a local builders merchant that dense concrete blocks used for B&B floor are different to ones used for wall construction.

Am i correct on assuming that 10N would have better thermal and soundproofing properties? or will it be hardly any difference

Many thanks. I have been spec'd 7N however i am getting 10N for near enough same price so thinking to go with those.

Are the blocks used for Beam and Block flooring the same or different to standard dense concrete blocks that you would use for building walls? Thanks in advance :D

Ground bearing basement slab to be 200mm thick with A252 mesh top and bottom. Reinforcement cover to be 25mm top cover and 50mm cover to bottom and sides. My architect and builder are both currently away so I am unable to ask them directly. I just want to know what the above means exactly so I...

Does any one know where i can get theses from in the Midlands, UK? Every merchant I have contacted only do up to 215mm width. Thank you.

So 13 days with no activity on the loft camera it triggered movement early this morning between 12-4. Picked up from what I can ID as the largest rodent so far (unless it just seems bigger on the recording!) 1 of the 3 traps has triggered and caught a rodent - I need to check the other 2! I...

I am leaning towards the theory that the trap triggered and caught a mouse or rat. It has either walked off or has been picked off by another animal. The trap was in the rear of my property. Which is enclosed. I am hoping it would be a very low chance it could have got back into my property...

So one trap has gone missing ove le night. First time I decided not to tie them down with string. I have had a look around and cannot locate it. Possibility a fox, cat or bird has gone off with it?

I was planning on continuing the traps until the end of the week and then doing a full clean all around the property with bleach/water mix (leaving an area untouched for them to get out. Also to add to my last post, loft camera has not detected any motion since the first day traps were laid.

Kill on night 3 aswell so 5 in total. Last night/this morning 0 kills. Thanks all for input - been a great help. Will keep on it till weekend.

That was going to be one of my next questions actually. I’ve had kills on nights 1 and 2. Today is night 3 If I have no kills I might just give it one or 2 more days before removing the traps.

Another one caught overnight - 4 in total. No activity on the loft motion camera aswell. Hopefully heading in the right direction

To be honest I was going to take pictures but I just wanted to get rid asap.

I’ve had my roofer over to patch up pointing on the roof and reseat my ridge tiles. Next I will cover air vents with mesh. Still no activity from the loft camera (maybe sleeping up there). Will see what happening over night. Thanks all

So 8 traps 5 had triggered, killing 3. The other 2 may have escaped I’m guessing. I am not sure if the 3 are mice or rat. X2 brown top and white underside X1 grey All small-ish Have set the 8 up again for another night of slaughter. Loft camera has not triggered at all over night and into...

Early morning update 2 traps i set in the rear fired off and have caught 2. Looking on the side camera ... I think I can see both traps have fired, can see 1 caught - not sure about the other yet. Front I can see one has fired but does not ppear to be anything caught. Need to check the other...

Lol cheers bud Good to bring some humour into it... been stressed about it.

Nope... was thinking a shovel over the head! Any other suggestions ?
