I,m looking at ordering loose topsoil to level a garden (front) approx 10m x 6m with average depth of 130mm (already has soil) would 14T be enough or too much

Ah yes. 75mm depth. have slip on site so best to use. Is a handful of fibre per mix enough

Mixing 4:1 (12 sand to half bag cement) laid on celotex with a slip membrane with a mesh and added fibre. Does this sound ok? Or can the mesh be omitted if adding fibre?

I am looking to screed 75mm onto 100mm celotex with a slip membrane. What ratio sharp sand cement should be used and is there any fibre i can buy to add to the mix?

I think it is as you say, two pieces in total 2.4m i.e 1.2m each .

When it says wall starter twin pack 2.3m, is that the two pieces equal 2.3m?

I appreciate that, but like you say, electrics can cause fire and endanger those living in the house, and neighbouring properties, long after you have sold up and moved on Any way, i have raised the point, not moaning or having a go, just discussing the topic.

I am not complaining, just asking a question and suggesting the forum has a disclaimer before posting by the DIY'er as even the forum rules make no note on Electrics. And i thought you only pay the local authority under a building notice if the installer was not Part P. The authority then test...

Therefore is an Electric sub forum a good place on a DIY "emergency" forum? With no disclaimer or note to those posting? Rules. 10) Posts covering DIY gas work are not allowed. Why is Electrics excluded?

Ahh Das ist good. :D Even better, why not have a disclaimer or note on this topic when posting stating Electrics should only be undertaken buy qualified persons ?

No, i pay to get it tested, and yes i have wondered too why it is DIY not :? I always ask Electricians for advice too as i progress with electrics, cable sizes, cable runs etc etc. Never would i put myself at risk, although having said that even qualified electricians can make mistakes, we...
