Been trying to only buy once with quality as when I can afford it. I went in to my DIY superstore and they had a few Irwin tools and lots of their own brand stuff. Ended up buying own brand as I needed it for now. Does anyone have any good trust sites they recommend? Anyone know why the big DIY...

I've been using pallet wood for building my small bike shed. I need to take apart a few more to make another wall, but they are wet after a downpour. Would I be ok to use them or would I better off waiting till they had few days to dry off? I am gluing and screwing them to make the frame thicker...

Anyone? Just I only have 2 half days this week to do anything and can't so anything for a week.

I'm building a small bike shed out of reclaimed wood. Mostly small smaller pallets. The base is done with screws. Now I'm coming to the sides and I have to make frames from I think it's single lap joints construction they will be heavily glued and screws and total 4cm deep and 8 to 10cm wide...

Cheers foxhole unfortunately I cannot get the larger pallets or any pallets with 3ft length 3x2ish inch.

I'm making a small 7x4.5x4 ft bike shed from only pallet wood. I'm making frame from lapped glued and screws slats so will be 3inch wide x 1.5in. is that ok? Also on the 4ft side and 7ft back sections how far should I be placing studs? Also being pallet wood what could I use to fill the nail...

KenGMac, Thanks for replying again. The first screw is what he did when we called him out . Do you think he cracked the roof sheet?

In the first pic show the the two that leak. Obviously one has been sealed using g something.

Hi guys I took the cover off the small air vent to see why not a lot of air was coming through. Found its a cavity wall and they used some sort of filler and that stopped a lot of air circulation. Now I will be putting back over the hole an adjustable vent. I assume I need to line the inner...

We got someone in to do the shed roof thinking it would not leak for years.....it's leaking second time now. Already called him out last year and he gave some excuse of using rubber washers. I think he used some sealant and tightened some up. From the pics what are my options to try and seal...

My very old wood work teacher was very old school. One of the things I took from him was never use metal hammer on wood unless it's for destruction. So know that a mallet is one of the few tools I was allowed to take from my grandfather when he passed. Cheers

Thanks guys. I understand what people say by quality. JoK I was on they very site as i was typing on here and I think I will getting some Ashley Iles but will have to save up. they will probably last me the 40 or 50 years i got left hopefully. so for this year got the fatmax and will then use...

Hi guys, its that time for me to start thinking of a couple of essential outside and inside projects for next year. Project number 1 should be a bike shed. My rough dimensions are 120cm deep by 215cm long and 150cm or 180cm high. My aim to make it to be able to take it apart if we stick to plan...

Sorry guys shouldn't have typing when trying to sleep. The bowl is there with a cutout so most of the water goes down the hole. Without the water goes round and the house wall is green in there. Also a bit of mortar is missing so water was going down the side. So what I need to know what is...

Thanks foxhole. What would you suggest? I've seen this https://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-d504-square-hopper-gully-grid/13687 and hope the round bit comes in different diameters

Hi again need some advice on more drainage. This time it's kitchen sink and bathroom. As you see from picture it's a sorta quick fix and is better than what was happening. My idea would be to rise the hole up using https://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-d504-square-hopper-gully-grid/13687 or I...

Hi guys, need some help on my roof drainage. I know I need to extend the pipe down and I'm thinking just to add the last little bit to 2 inches off the metal. I was also gonna add single layer brick wall to stop stones going down. Do I need to add something to the house wall? But I have no...

Hi guys, got 4 Irwin 135 sash clamps. My shed/utility room has limited space left . I have one wall I could put a shelf up, but I have a few spaces where I could hang them. What's best for the clamps? Cheers
