Hi Guys, probably like most of you I have been tempted to buy a copy/cloned battery for my Makita or Dewalt but is it a case of 'you get what you pay for'........savings are substantial or are they!!!! Any one out there used them and able to share their experience/advice .??

I just get so racked of at people who presume that to seek to understand means they must be ever forgiving 'do-gooders'

Hi Guys. Am Renovating a 150 year old farmhouse with solid 9" Walls. Best / most cost effective option out of:- 1. 35mm battens, super foil bubble, 35mm batten then plasterboard 2. 60mm battens, glass fibre insullation (e.g. Rockwell), then plasterboard 3. Dabbed foil backed 30mm...

Not exactly but there is a need in a civilised society to try and understand what went on here don't you think !!!

Hi Woody..........I will be working off battens and giving the concrete a very careful float as it is laid........with this method don't you think a good enough final finish can be obtained??[/code]

Hi Guys........am just replacing all ground floors to normal spec for building regs. Intention is to float concrete to an acceptable finish and avoid screeding.. The question is about adding glass fibres to the concrete mix which will be layed at a thickness of 100mm over floor area of 16sq...

Well, I have to say I'm glad Andy Gray has been sacked for his sexist and ignorant comments. This now gives Sky Sports the opportunity to set an example and replace him with a female presenter........preferably one with really big t..s :D

This is the spec from which I get the impression ply, properly treated would be suitable for a hand applied coating!! 'Cullamix Tyrolean is a white or coloured cement based mix, which provides a decorative and protective rendering. It is applied by hand or power operated machines and provides...

Thanks Hotrod............just visited the website and it's just what i was after.

Hi Guys.........Can someone give me a name of an exterior textured (artex like) coating to be applied to exterior ply. It is to repair one of those mock Tudor houses where they have black wall beams with ply panels in beteen (if you know what I mean). Thanks

Yes, I agree very easy to use but I have this doubt about how effective it is.........i have the same thoughts about the conventional chemical injection system as well.........the effectivness of it just cannot be measured.

Given that it takes min 5 to 10 years for brick to dry out (especially when a waterproof render is applied) how can you tell the creams have done their job?? What is your measure of sucess Lils?? I have used the creams and I ain't got a clue if they work or not....just hope they do!!

Appreciate that advice......was kinda hoping I could get away with 4"..........at what stage would you float the floor.....when it's gone off or when pouring the concrete??

Hi Guys...........just starting to renovate 120year old farmhouse....floors presently a mixture of rotted wood and tiles on ash. I will be taking the floor level down to accommodate hard core, insulation and the slab itself. A couple of questions:- ....What depth is reccommended for the slab...

Come on guys... :? ..someone must have had a go with one of these products or something similar.

Hi Guys......Just laying some Indian Sandstone paving and heard about products called Geofix and Pave Fix Plus.....both are drylay grouts for wide joint paving (5mm+). You brush it in and leave it. It looks a dam sight easier to use this rather than conventional mortar but it does beg the...

Err,,,,,,,,,not sure where you got that idea from.....read my initial post again..... I was just making an observation. Don't assume Joe (and you do seem to be one of the worlds great assumers) that a university education is the bee all and end all and is a road to fame and fortune. What...
