Using an Earlex hoover for a dust collector but I am getting mighty pee'd off having to start the hoover before I do a cut. Many moons ago I found a gadget advertised that would enable a normal hoover to have a "power tool auto run feature". Been Googling and I'm not having much success...

I currently have an open vented hot water system on a total control/total heating tariff. The current set up will be moved in the future to the extension that is currently under construction. Problem being the roof trusses are soon to go up therefore the cold water tank would need to be...

I am close to fitting the windows into my extension and after some advise/comments. Construction consists of 145mm timber frame clad in 9mm OSB,50mm cavity and then finished with 100mm concrete blocks. Planning to proceed with the windows as follows: 1.Cut cill to length and glue on end...

Currently building an extension north of the border, here is the list that came with my warrant, Inspection of excavation for foundations. Inspection of DPC and solumn levels. Inspections of superstructure and external and internal claddings. Final inspection. and of course the drains.

Cutting disc with a straight edge sounds like the answer for this job. Working with stainless daily, helps pays my mortgage :lol:

Foundations and footings, what's the reason behind only a half lap of the DPM as opposed to a full lap of the block? Thank you

About to fix a sole plate(145x45C16) to the top of my foundation (150mm concrete block)timber kit is then fixed to this. does the same rule apply? Sorry for the blatant hijack.

Personally I would hunt around and get 2400x1200 sheets and go for 600ctrs will make plaster boarding easier if you are going down that route, or go for 610ctrs if you already have the sheets.

Cheers lads I get the general drift of what you are saying.

When you speak about Gauge, are you referring to how much off the tile the eye can see?

Hello again When setting out tiling battens on a roof is there a method/formulae for working out there spacings? Will be using Double Roman 50 interlocking concrete tiles. Thanks

Is there a common rule of thumb regarding the length of nail required when using a Hilti gun to affix timber to concrete? Needing to fix 45mm thick C16 to concrete blocks. Thank you

Cheers for the heads up on the gas Thermo, not fired a single nail yet but it's been in pieces already (must be the inquisitive side of me :roll: ) Just tried an order at Toolstation, they want £10 delivery to my area which isn't too bad as I will probably be ordering a half dozen boxes or...

My problem being I am not on the UK Mainland and screwfix are the only company I can find that will deliver for a reasonable cost (free if the order is large enough)they wont send paslode nails and gas though as the gas is considered hazardous goods. I need Galv ringed 90's and the local...

Ended up buying one from the local outlet, offered me a good deal on nails if I bought at the same time. Does anyone know if the Bostitch nails here fit this gun?

Cheers for the info, Should have said it is for sale in this country. Usually use my local suppliers if I can, but this chap is selling for cheaper than they can buy the unit from Paslode, or so they say :wink:

Looking to buy myself a first fix gun and I'm pretty sure its gonna be a Paslode 350. I am wondering if there is a difference between the UK spec and USA spec, other than the charger? Couple of good deals on an auction site, tried my local tool suppliers and they cant get near these prices...

On my plans as every 6metres, currently doing much the same thing.

Following on from another thread,and not wishing to hijack that one, the DPM that goes on top of insulation should it be placed under the underfloor heating pipes? I presume it should be.
