Thanks for your advice. Wood was something i considered but kind of wrote off but I will reconsider now. it just seems that it will be expensive to make a good, sturdy shed and it will need continual treating. I really need to reach a conclusion as I have been considering the best...

I thought that using blocks would remove the need for any insulation? My costings show that the job will cost circa £1k. My reservations for using wood are that it will inevitably rot and not offer the same strength/warmth as a block shed. I would like the shed to be moderately cold resistant...

I have considered this.....the block idea is preferred due to strength, longevity and warmth. Thanks

How did you finish the blocks externally. If not, have you had issues with waterproofing? Thanks

Hi, I am looking to build a garden shed, using Breeze blocks. I have come across many different block types but have made the following 'conclusions' from my research. I am really quite confused by it all..... - BREEZE BLOCK - no longer exists. Replaced by thermalite blocks. -...

Hi All, I am planning on building a shed using blocks - rough dimensions of 3m * 2.5m I plan to make solid foundations at about 300mm deep and build up on these. I have been trying to ascertain what is the best block to use. I have become confused with the difference between a concrete...

Sooey, You must appreciate that its pretty frustrating when you come on here for some advice and people give everything but advice. Your comments were hardly useful themselves. So yes, I may have shown frustration but come on guys we are all humans here and the purpose of this forum is...

Thanks.

Dream on you to**er. He called me a numpty for no reason. When I said the previous owner was a bodger I was talking about the condition of the whole house not just the gas situation, which I assume he has not touched himself! God almighty u are one sad git! GO AND GET LAID!

Ok. These negative replies really are not helpful. I am really not looking for arguments but just some HELP. The gas engineer has just blocked the supply to my boiler. Sorry if I got the terms wrong. I am an accountant and would not expect the majority of people on here to be coversant...

It is a "Glowworm" boiler. I had never heard of these until moving in! How much is this valve typically to replace (parts and labour?) Thanks

I just thought someone may have had similar experiences. Sorry for asking.

Do me a favour and get stuffed. I have posted on here for a discussion and some people have provided useful comments. What use is your comment? I was at work when the qualified gas engineer attended. He has been in his trade for over 30 years and who the hell are you to question his or my...

The gas engineer has advised to leave the gas "off" as a significant amount was leaking out. i did try to have these tests undertaken but the vendor would not play ball as he wanted a sharp sale and there was LOTS of interest on the property. Basically, if it wasnt me paying £X it was the...

Purchased my house 3 weeks ago and called a gas qualified engineer to remove a low level gas pipe in my garage. He did this no prob but found that the boiler has a broken valve which means gas has literally been "pi@@ing" out of the flue. Does anyone know what my rights are regarding going...

Ban all sheds...... The switches work perfectly well. Does this mean i know how 2 way switches work oh Lord of knowing evrything and being the greatest man on this earth? Thanks (oh holy one)

Apologies all. I wasnt clear at all and was only thinking of 2 waying the rear light when in fact it is much better to have both as 2 ways. This is why I had a 'spare' live. All your comments helped to make my brain click and yes all very simple now! Thanks again

I think I have it....... At first I was only going to have a two way on the light at the back of the garage but now I will make both lights 2 way. Threw me off as you use the live for the back light to effectively power the front and vice versa. Thanks for all your help guys!!!

Thanks for all the responses - all helpful. However, each light currently has a pull switch supplied with its own live wire. By linking the back switch to the front switch I will be carrying power from the front switch to the back one. Therefore, I think the bank live will no longer be...

My current property has an integral garage, which has plaster boarded ceilings. Currently, you can only turn a light on/off if your are standing at the end of the garage containing the desired light. Therefore, I would like to incorporate a 2 way switch option. Therefore my plan is to...
