Newbee i thought it looked the part , toying with doing mine if the price is right , maybe i will get in touch with diy sos :lol:

Hi all , just been watching diy sos the the outside of the house had cladding which was stripped and was replaced with insulation slabs that looked a bit like polystyrene and then a thin plaster rend to finish . Can anyone tell me what this procedure is called and whats involved as i wouldn't...

Hi Lee , those products are fine , i am going to complicate matters here. I did not like many of the colours around for the spindles and to match my fencing , so we invented our own more natural look it was .. Cuprinol ducks back harvest gold mixed with cuprinol timbercare woodland green ...

Hi Lee , i have had a deck down for around 11 years , we did treat it many years ago with cuprinol deck care which is clear so leaves the natural colour to a point , but we have found that a jet washer once or twice a year keeps the deck in good nick in actual fact we have just cleaned it ready...

gblades is there a special attachment to go into the sds chuck to get to screwdriver bits , cheers mark Just for info i had made my mind up to go for dewalt dc988l1 at £124.99 from screwfix only to find it was not in stock , just my luck so its back to mthe head scratching :cry:

Ladylola excuse my ignorance , is an sds different to normal chucked corded drills , are they better for screwing ? what attachment goes into sds is it a hex end ? . cheers mark

MFCGMFC what model is your makita is it lith-ion also where are the bosch daels , cheers mark

On this subject what size screws would i expect to be able to put in with the bosch or the ryobi 14 volts , is there some chart which tells you what Nm you would need for what screws . Mark

Cheers noseall the bosch one has got lith ion batts cheers

Big-all i think i am coming round to the ryobi , do you think if i bought the impact driver with two batteries 2.4 ah it would cover all my screwing requierements or would it pay me to buy a naked drill driver as well . Also do you know who does good deals on these . cheers for your help Mark

Ryobi 18 volt then :!:

Thanks big-all , are the impact drills for these purposes a lot dearer . And what would you recommend in 18 volt ? thanks again .

Thanks for replies , the bosch is £ 99 at screwfix and the cheapest i can find the ryobi is £ 119 so the maths says go for the bosch i guess .

Sorry if this is a laboured subject BUT ...... i am looking to board out my loft and then do some decking which both involve lots of screwing :lol: . I have been looking at these two drills ... Ryobi LDC 14022 14.4 V and the bosch GSB 14.4v combi , Which would anyone recomend or is it just...

I totally agree . so how do we get round this who can we vote in to sort this out ? my guess is that a party does not exsist that would have the english at heart , seems as if we are ignored apart from our lovely tax :evil:

Thanks ajrobb for taking the time to put that together , i think i am more enlightened if not i will read it till i am , cheers mark

ajrobb , i am confused are the R values meaningless then in respect of the recommended level 6.1 to 7.0 which the 75mm of vamiculite equates to . What i dont understand is the K values versus the R values perhaps you could enlighten me as i am not that spamed up on insulation cheers Mark

Simon if you look at my post on R values which is about four down from this it can be done easier with vermiculite granuals if you fancy them . mark

Thanks prenticeboy , it makes you wonder why all these people fret about layers upon layers and then get there boarding down when it is a lot easier with these granules .

Would somebody be so kind as to confirm something for me . I am looking to board out my loft and in this process looking at insulation. I have vermiculite up to the top of the joists which are approx 3" deep. Know heres the query apparently you need an R value of between 6.1 and 7 at least in...
