Cheers mate.

Hi plasterers, I want to skim over this render coat so that I can put the wallpaper on, but I've got a bad feeling that I haven't left enough depth for the skim coat. I read that the coat can be 2mm, so do you reckon it'll be ok? Maybe I could get away with 3mm. Or do you think I could use...

Like yours you mean? Hehe as if!!! :lol: Well it still wouldn't be as long and straight as mine anyway :D.

Thanks Bigall, it's ok I found this rather interesting (http://parker1.co.uk/shed/) which is on page 1 and has all the pictures too :D. Yea, that would a good idea too.

Maybe because the imperial convention of measure is now obsolete :cry:. I know, it annoys me too.

Always one eh :roll: :roll:. *SIGH* :lol: To help you, I could put a picture up of what it compares with but it wont be allowed here :(.

Tired of DIY? Take a tea break and grab the cartridge gun! I swear the end result was never intended!

Hey Big-all, very nice workshop! It looks as though you have everything you need and most importantly, close to hand. Maybe needs a bit of a tidy up inside though :lol:. This thread should come in quite handy actually as I'm thinking of knocking my old shed down which has been infested with...

Sounds painful! lol poor guy :cry:.

Actually I think something is wrong. Building blocks don't have holes, breeze blocks do so these must be breeze blocks on this picture: Otherwise, how am I supposed to slide them through the rods?! That in the picture is exactly what I need. I just need the dimensions of a standard breeze...

Got a great idea then in that case! There is a neighbour down the road from me and he has used reinforcing Rods that stick up out of a bed of concrete that holds up the bank. Then they just put the blocks through the rods using the holes that they have at the top of them. They've nearly finished...

I agree with you, but I do have an idea of what I need to do. If I see everything laid out exactly on a 3d plan (which I can do because I've done 3d modelling work before), I'm confident I can copy what I see. I'm not just going to do this as I go along. About the building blocks, none of my...

Sorry guys, I realise now it's a silly question because obviously, engineering bricks will be too expensive lol. I don't know what I was thinking. lol I shouldn't worry too much because I just found out that 'Dan Price - The Man In A Hole' lined his with just treated wood! Don't think he did any...

Before I start making a visual plan for my underground room project, I need to know if it would be ok to use breeze blocks for the underground structure or if it would strictly require engineering bricks. I would of course be tanking the walls and stuff once built anyway and I would rather use...

Unleaded most likely. If you use leaded, it may damage the lawnmower.

Yea, you're absolutely right! I read it in the wiki not so long ago, but forgot the term. Sorry, should have mentioned it to 'garrymum' :oops:.

You lot are barmy lol. Hopefully I never do anything like that, apart from when I poured petrol (from the can) over a bonfire resulting in the top catching fire. Stupidly I blew the flame down into the can. Could have had my head blown away into nextdoors garden. But, how on Earth did the guy...

Bluddy hell! What did he use? 'No more nails'?

This should help you: http://uktv.co.uk/gardens/stepbystep/aid/83 I'm studying this as I have to lay a patio for someone in a few weeks so should help :).

lol god it just gets even better :oops:
