I looked for a window on Ebay and I thought I had found one as the page was covered with pictures of wooden windows but a sheet of Perspex turned up so I'm still looking.

I would like to insulate a metal shed and wonder what sort of thickness is needed to make a difference and where the best price can be found for it.

The shed is well ventilated and I still want to fit a couple of windows.

You appear to be saying that insulation dosent work!

Would some form of insulation keep a metal shed cool in the summer and keep the frost out in the winter? If so what thickness and how does one stick it to the metal?

I have just erected a metal shed or rather my grandson did it for me and I'm rather worried regarding it over heating as I'm using it as a Hen house. One way to control the temperature would be to install a window either side of it but as a result of the frail nature of the structure it can only...

YardMaster sent me a video on how to construct the shed and it looks good so tomorrow my grandson and I will commence work on it.

The Yardmaster metal shed looked great on the advertisement but no instructions came with it and the only one I could find on the Internet is not at all helpful. Does anyone know if accurate instructions actually exist?

I'm not at all impressed with the instructions that came with my Yardmaster shed 68GHZ2 nad the one I found on the Internet is not a lot better. Does a Full set of instructions for putting one together exist?

Your right about Rats eating plastic. I will lay a roll of DPC to keep the damness in the concrete away from the metal shed and screw it into the concrete. Many thanks.

I am installing a metal shed to create a Rat proof chicken house which will be placed on a concrete base. I would like to fix the metal shed to planks secured to the concrete base made from a water proof composite. Is there such a material and if so where would one purchase it? Regards, Brian

I want to shore up the side of a garden pond using the hessian sacks one see’s built alongside a riverside but I have no idea what the sand/cement mix is and whether one can just place them in the water or do they only work in a dry place and left to weather.

Yes, Clerk of Works it was. We had one who was so keen that when he knew chippies were on second fixing if he heard a hammer being used he used to run into the building to check whether or not they were hammering in screws. As for hopeless builders, well we had an estate being thrown up at the...

Back in the 1950s when I was serving my apprenticeship as a Bricklayer working on a Council estate there was a Council employed person walking the site checking that things were done correctly. Looking at the level of complaints regarding the builders currently throwing up speculative housing...

I found this loft access lock on the Internet and bought it but no paperwork or instructions were sent with it and I've lost the digital recording of the ordering process so can't ask the sender. Can anyone share such detail with me. Many thanks

I had a push up and release loft access catch fitted many years ago and recently it failed twice and we found the loft access panel had dropped. If that had happened as someone was walking up the passage it would have at least knocked the person out. I would like to fit a catch which is...

I have an elderly patio that was a Buff Yellow and wonder if its possible to smarten it up with some form of stain.

Its not oil stains and I wonder how dangerous "Wet and Forget" is in that along the edges of the patio I have a number of bush type plants which I would hate to see killed. A friend suggested Jeys Fluid which I tried but it still needs a wire brush. I suspect that if I do manage to get rid of...

Many thanks for the information. I used a power washer which left some very hard to move black marks. I moved some using a wire brush with difficulty and I wonder if there are any colour stain that I could treat the whole patio to make it look fresher.

My once yellow paving slabs periodically get covered in black muck which I have to clean with a Power washer which leaves black marks. Is it possible to paint them with anything and seal them possibly so that will last a little while? Many thanks.
