Hi all, I want to build a 4x2.5m shed and a 4x2m decking with roof and because it will be first time I was wandering if anyone could advice me on what timber to use. I know that the base will have to be made from treated timber, but will 4x2" be enough or I need some 6x2" for framing? Could I...

Should not be a fault light on or something?

The pressure on the gauge is 1.5 bar. The heating was on yesterday and after few hours I've noticed that the radiators are cold but the room thermostat was indicated that the boiler was still on so I went to check the boiler. All the lights went off...I've tryed to reset it, but nothing. I've...

Hi all, I have just realized that the boiler is not working any more , there is no light on, I can hear some electricity inside but the boiler fails to show any lights; after some reading I realise that it could be some electrical fault, but just want to ask for more opinions. Will it be...

The sound is like a loose screw, but I can only hear it when the heating is on, bottom right side, when I use hot water the noise is gone. Is not the best recording...I'm just wandering if is something serious.

Hello everyone, I've changed the thermostatic radiator valves on all radiators and I've cleaned as much sludge as I could from radiators. After that I have added some Sentinel x100 to the system and after I've filled up the system again-1.5bar-as it says in the manual, I turned on the heating...

I see, so it's very important to prime the plywood, I did found some primer online but because I wanted to do it this weekend there was no way to get it so soon. I'll delay the job for few days if it's so important. Thank you for your help, all the best.

Yes I did, the latex primer is nowhere to be found. But anyway I'll use the self leveling without priming the plywood.

Hello, I have a wooden floor-just floorboards at the moment- on wich I'll install bamboo flooring, but before that I'll have to level it. After reading about it I think that if I'll screw some structural plywood onto the existing flooring and use some flexible self leveling compound I could...

It sounds interesting, my girlfriend will definitely like this ideea as she doesn't like the exposed beams too much, but I think this will be a second option because I think it will look better if I manage to get rid of the stain. Reading your post I've got another ideea: thin wood strips pinned...

I've seen something like that but for metal, it looks very good, maybe I should try to find some products for timber as well, so far I've asked at all the DIY stores I could find and last week I went to Brewer-where I bought the bleach from- but not too much help do far, only paint and exterior...

Thank you for you replay, I tought about many ways to get rid of the black stain, including this one, but because is a hard wood it will be extremely hard to do it, considering that i have about 16, each 4 m long...I cannot post any pictures because I'm on mobile version but even if I get rid of...

Hello, I have got some really dark wooden beams in my living room and because I really don't like them I want to ask if anyone knows any methods to lighten them up without painting them. Is there any bleaching method which may work? How about liming wax? Sand blasting would be too messy and...

No because I want to keep the joists exposed...

Thank you for the replay, the thing is that I have already bought this stuff http://www.noisestopsystems.co.uk/ceiling-soundproofing/ceiling-system-2 and I will get it delivered tomorrow so I will have to use it.

Hello, I have a room above the living room and because the flooring is really thin-6mm hardboard and 22mm floorboards- all the noise from living room is going through and is quite annoying sometimes. That's why I bought some 15mm acoustic underlay, hoping that the noise will be reduced. I'm...

Yes, I have gas in the building and I've had a plumber two weeks ago to check the boiler and he looked at the pipes as well but he didn't give a straight answer, he said it is the first time when he's dealing with this type of problem :roll:

So the main pipe must be buried in the wall, that will make the job a bit more difficult. It is interesting that I have payed for a full building survey before I bought the house and there is no mention about this in the report, actually there was no report about a caving ceiling in one of the...

Thank you both for the advice. I've traced the pipes and if you look at the first picture, that looks like the end of them, it doesn't go any further than that and it doesn't seem to be connected to anything, unless there is a connection in the wall. I'll investigate more tonight when I get...
