Hi, All, From my last birthday I expect every thing I buy to have a lifetime guarantee. :cry:

Hi, New, For a muck heap that size, I presume you used a digger. get it back in and spread it out in the upy downy bits. that will sort out the planners and your neighbours too.

Just one of the benefits of worshiping at the dry stone wall that surrounds the universe and it confounds the architect of confusion. Etc.

jealous shy?

The bretheren are all hung not so much a religion more a bunch of donkeys

Hi, Mazeman, What sometimes happens with these conservatory fitters is, That the windows and frame makers are a franchise, who employ subby fitters to fit the frames They also often sub out the foundations, and supply a plastic cill for sizes or a drawing. So one team, probably a local one...

Hi, AB, Hmmm. I guess you'll have to put white in if there aren't any colours. Perhaps someone else from the decorating side will know what's best. I'm stumped. sorry :oops:

Hi, AB, Hmm, :wink: warm peach (es)! my fave. I don't know if you can get coloured fillers but the skirtings should fit snug against the wall unless the plastering is all over, and if it is you need to address that first.

Hi, AB, If you fill with one of the usual white filler products, that should match the wall, and the edge of the skirting adjacent to the wall is the 'cut in' line. Will you stain and varnish the skirting first, before fitting? If so any filler surplus should just wipe off with a damp cloth.

Hi, colin, yes the readymix is normally quite dry as it comes, and the driver can put some of his header tank in to make the rest wetter. I'ts fairly straight forward, but getting the concrete to where you want it is going to cause problems if you're not prepared.

Oh, and make sure youv'e got two packets of polo mints for them to crush up and sprinkle over the surface for that white speckeldy look.

Get the Paddys in mate. They'll make it 'a bit ticker at de hedges' and you can pay 'em in Guinness

Ok, Q hi, can some body tell me what the minimum floor to ceiling height is allowed for a domestic extension. A Hi, Andy, The recommended minimum is 2.350 m Although this is not set in stone it will 'look right' when finished in most cases.

OK, Woody, I'm just an old bricky, I don't want to fall out with anyone here, and I know that on existing buildings where there are extenuating circumstances that the normally accepted building regs can be relaxed. However 7'9" (2.350m if you prefer) is the 'correct' minimum height which...

Yes there is, and I'm old fashioned. so sue me.

7' 9" trust me.

Hi, Nose, By lad e your'e lookin good bro.

No, that is ballcocks, and anyway how would you know after you had papered over it?

Hi, New, chimneys rarely carry only one flue. you need to know which flue you are tapping into, and if it starts from the fireplace you are putting your cooker in. Fire openings have more regs that anything and you need advice.
