Yes that's what I did so confused, I. Set up the base then when adding the laser level onto it that was out ?

Hi I bought a laser level on eBay when I set it up it has a small bubble on the large round base. I get this centered and then add the laser level to the top, I would think it should then be level as it's sitting on the flat part of the top but I have to adjust this to be level ? What am I...

Tom what a clear explanation thanks very much, it's below then as my mother in law who the conversion is for will be in the annexe all the time. Thanks again. Cliff

Can you not get them to inject a chemical DPC, I have not done it myself as yet but need to do this on a building we are converting and it seems the best option. Cliff

I have had building control come around and discuss my excavations but during this we spoke about the floor etc. I mentioned the insulation and he said it's up to me if I put the above the concrete slab or as the surveyor recommends below it. What is the benefit ? I would think if it's above...

Thank you, it's good to get a 2nd opinion. Cliff

I am trying to work out how many slates i will get in a sq m. Can anyone advise I had some slate samples but my council rejected tehm all. When i was at the roofing yard the chap work it out at around 19 per sq meter. Looking at the old slates (asbestos) same size these add up to around 12...

Thanks Tom, I am sure when i buy them they will know anyway.

Thanks Amwc I am going to do that just for piece of mind they are not expensive. Do you know if it's a set amount to go into the brick work either side of the window. Cliff

Hi I would ask my structural engineer but I cant read his handwritting and he is not answering my emails, read into that what you will. I am about to start work on a stable block conversion and this will have all the usual windows and doors. I have been told the spec of the lintel P100 I...

Thanks Andy 3 cement and 1 sand it is then. Yes I know the other way around. Ha Ha

Yes thats the main reason easy clean, I have just seen the paint I will use I do not need to render block work. So have decided last night, cement floor and ramp area then block sides and paint. But still confused over the mix of cement. Cliff

Hi I have another job on the go at home and would like some advice, we have dug a pond and I need to cement the walls. I have seen I need to have around a 3inch wall with wire mesh inside but I want to make sure I have the right mix. Can someone give some advice on this also how do you...

Thanks I think for the price I will go with the stand. Cliff
