Thought I'd do an update. I was in the local tyre shop today to see if they do drop links. They do and it's £99 parts and labour. Not sure how it's that cheap??

I need to install a beam thats got a plate welded to hold the outside skin of bricks so its a bit unevenly balanced. Any ideas if it'll be easy to push the genie forward once it's at the right height and make slight adjustments to position the beam level and straight. Also is it easy to pick up...

Passat estate 2008.

Thanks

This was an advisory on the mot. (You probably guessed) any ideas what that means needs doing. And is that enough detail for me to ask on the phone or do the garage need to have a look before giving a price? Cheers

Thanks everyone. Sounds like not to much eh.

Hello. Just wondered if anyone knows roughly what a tyre/exhaust garage charges to take a tyre off a rim and put it on another. I'm trying to decide if it's better than filling and painting a rough wheel. Cheers

Just wondered if anyone knows about channel drains (the 1m by 100mm ones), Looks like I need some as it puddles at the threshold of my front garden. So it will take a bit of traffic. They are £30 in Wickes etc but ive seen them online for £10. So does anyone know a good place to buy them and is...

Thanks everyone, Ive got a few to choose from now havent I. Sounds like I might have my work cut out as the steels are ceiling height.

Oh. So it gives a wrench a higher rating? Sounds like witchcraft.

Hello I need a wrench for steel beams but thought someone on here might know. So it needs to be 248 Nm. Thats way higher than Screwfix do so any ideas where to get one and any other points I might need to know? Many thanks.

Thanks fellas. I'll just have to get busy looking. Not ready for the roof yet but could do with a quote or two.

Hello. I'm a bit naive about woodwork things, so bear with me. I'm really struggling to get a roofer to even quote for a job. The ones I've spoken to do the tile and batten bit and get a carpenter in to cut the roof. But don't even turn up to give a price. So I'm thinking about going straight to...

Thanks, when you say sell immediately do you mean less than 12 months? Also would the difference in the appearance from the front not cause a problem?

So do you think id have a chance of getting this amended to a flat roof as opposed to a whole new application?

I would hopefully build the same size extension. The bit thats different would be the roof at the back that would be flat but not be visible from the road as the front half of roof would be blocking the view. Thats why I was wondering if planning would take issue.

I didn't know that but I only do this sort of thing on my own house. What about Building control?

And they could sign that off? Thats interesting. Thanks. Mind you i'm not sure flat roof at the back is that much cheaper than a hipped or gable one? Edit Oh I just realised you dont mean it will be signed off.

Thanks for your reply. In that case do you know if a change from a 2 storey side extension with a double gable roof (giving an M shape from the side) that was changed to just the front half with a gable and a flat roof behind that cant really be seen from the road would have a chance?

Just wonder if anyone knows how someone who has planning permission for an extension then has to build it smaller possibly even loose the first floor goes about it. Is it a case of starting again with the planning? or is there some kind of amendment you can apply for? Also any ideas if the...
