Absolutely. Really pressed with it so far. Having the double bevel is an absolute godsend.

yeah, pretty sure there's no moisture, first thing we checked as the patch in the pics is next to the toilet and in front of the down pipe connections. I'd been told on numerous occasions to use the P131 primer to cover fixed tiles. Ripping them all up would have been a nightmare. Oddly the...

yes mate, its was tacky dry. But since that time i've had differing 'advice' on whether tacky is actually dry. Some say it dries tacky, others say it should dry properly dry to the touch. My head hurts.

When you say 'old adhesive' do you mean the bitumen paint? I primed straight onto that. Then screeded. When it bubbled up it pulled the primer up with it leaving the bitumen paint intact :( The majority of the floor that is ok was primed on top of the marley tiles. It seem the only place where...

Hey, no worries, go nuts :) Mw, thanks so much for your advice and the heads up about Brett Martin. I'll give them a call when i'm ready (things have been delayed a littel due to unforseen issues)

thanks for the advice. So far nothing else has blown so will patch repair as necessary. I simply don't have the will to rip it all up and start again whilst 3/4 of it is sound (for now). So you don't think the fball P141 primer was the right stuff? Or are you saying the screed AND primer was the...

thanks mate, that would be most appreciated. sorry, the the brief changed slightly. It's now 7m x 1700 (but 2m sheets was the closest without paying the expense of cut to size) Regarding the end caps i wasn't sure. One quote i got specifically saif end caps sold separately, so assume that was...

Err, yes he is a screeder. I laid the primer down, he screeded, using the stuff i bought. This one 1970s i think Think so. Someone else suggested that the bitumen paint would have acted as one (as well as adhesive for the marley tiles). That aint happening if it means ripping up the whole...

Not yet, almost pushed the button yesterday but got distracted. This is what i've got on my list (all for 10mm polycarb) 2 x plastic F section 2m 6 x Timber supported snapdown glazing bar 2m (aluminium base with plastic snapdown top) 3 x bags of fixing buttons (10pk) 4 x sheet enclosure 2.1m 1...

So....the floor had marley (?) tiles on and after plenty of advice i used f-ball P131 (snot green stuff) primer to cover it all. Some tiles were loose so they were removed leaving a black bitumen type paint underneath. I rolled the primer on and left it to dry overnight. My mate who is a floor...

Thanks, i was thinking of not ony fitting each bar as i cgo along but each rafter too, that way i can't go wrong. (can i?) :cautious:

Lol, sounds like fun. Yes, after thinking about it i could probably reach across 1m with a mallet to gently 'bach' down lid of the glazing bar.

Ok, back again. I'm asking for a requote to show the difference in going for 16mm but i think its going to be beyond my budget. So, advice again if you please. How on earth do i install the sheets onto a timber frame. There are videos that make it look straightforward but they don't actually...

UPDATE: thought about what you said and you're right, i'd never truly need a 12" saw. So i rang up FFX and changed it (just in time) for the 717XPS and a 80T blade. :) Many thanks for your input.

Thanks buddy, went for the DWS780 (just because i could). It is reported to have significantly better dust extraction, which actually for me is quite important. It's actually a very slightly smaller footprint than the 717XPS, yet just under 2kg heavier. Again, its being gifted to me in lieu of a...

Lol, no dancing required. Thanks, i do appreicate the advice, but i really am on a budget, and its only really a shelter for when we go out to the bins or if i'm doing some DIY outside and need to be dry (it will overhang the shed so wil give be 2 completely protected sides.. The self supporting...

Thanks for your advice.....i'll not take it on this occasion though. There are plenty on here who ARE helpful, so maybe they'll pop in sometime and actually be helpful.

Really?! I never asked if 10mm would be good enough, because all the advice i've had so far says that it will be for my needs. I welcome all advice, doesn't mean i'll take it though. If you've nothing to offer constructively feel free to move on.

So, another "spec me a mitre saw thread" :D However, please enteratin this one as i have approx £600 to spend and want the right one. Most of my power tools are DeWalt or Bosch Pro. Not too fussy over brand, but these are what i've been hanging my nose over so far.... Metabo KGS315 Plus Fast...

Hi, sorry, wasn't aware i'd gotten a response. 10mm twinwall seems to be the norm for a canopy and my design is pretty much standard as far as that goes. 4x2 timber wallplate. 4x2 joists 2m long spaced every 1m (obviously), with a baton at 1m down from the wallplate, so prety much looks like a...
