It did. Picked a nice hot week for it:cry:

Having a new gas connection put into the house, need a 30kw system boiler. It'll run 2 wet zones, 50sqm of underfloor and a mains pressure water tank. What make should I run from? which one should I go for and why? I find myself strangely attracted to a viesmann.

HI Sorry for the thread bump, have you pics of how you fitted the cill?

The earth is the older version of injected DPC rubbish. Just remove it. I'd just clean them all back and see whats what. Worse case you can pull them up and flip them.

Thanks, although its now about £2.7k, so about £1000 more than sleeper materials, plus the extra work needed for the wall base etc. I do like the idea of taking them with you :)

How did the tobermore's go? where did you get them from and what price? Seems like a decent solution?

The plan was for i beams(£40 each) to hold 5 beams on their side, I think that'd be stronger than bolting them? effectively every 2.6m i'd have an I beam.... Could I do without the beams and just bolt and stack?

Hi all. I've 22M of retaining wall do build, 1.2m above ground level. I looked at blockwork, then rendered but wasn't keen on the look. So i'm going to go for untreated hardwood railway sleepers, 2.6m x240x150. Supported with I beams. I was going to do them vertical, however would a 5deg...

I don't think they do at this height? Its retaining soil, no heavy traffic, just garden. I could just shape bank and it wouldn't move, in theory :)

cheaper than using gypsum, trapping moisture in and all the timbers rotting.

anyone got a link to any suitable lights? the cable can be buried under the lime mortar.

lights will be about 2ft min away from the flu also.

Howdy. Got my head scratching with this.... I've got a large inglenook, the register plate is about 2m from the top of a stove thats fitted, I'd like to have a gentle light that I can switch on/off to illuminate the inglenook. I guess I can cable in fp200 or similar? what about the light...

I had a cheap no name one. I need it for cutting green and dried oak. Also for general house refurbishment.

I'm after a new router, any suggestions? I'll be using it with hardwood and softwood. I was looking at the hitachi m12v2. Any other suggestions?

Pig and goat, the room in the pic has lots of cow bones in the floor. Dry as a bone ;)
