Thanks ☺

The whole thing is just as a fun man cave tool storage project, nothing to do with the impending zombie attack . I want to build a shed on top with a dwarf stone wall but want to know how to go about doing the suspended ceiling which will be the floor of the shed. Yes I've seen Colin furze. His...

Closed but not heated. It will have a vented walkway. I'm just trying to cut down on the condensation which is inevitable when having a metal roof. As long as all the fixings go into through the osb and into the beams I would of thought plastic sheet is fine no?

Can anyone help me id this plant? Thanks

I could put a french drain outside the blocks, hopefully that will relieve the weight of wet mud against the wall somewhat?...and loads of tanking slurry and bitchamen paint on outside. More tanking slurry on inside. Or would it be better to use 9inch hollows rebarred into the slab and filled...

If jewsons or TP deliver us twisted or bowed CLS we send it back. It rarely happens as they know it will be sent back.

Hi all, I want to at some point build a bunker in the garden under an outbuilding just because it would be pretty cool. I was going to dig down roughly 2.5-3metres pummel down hardcore into the mud then line it with a sheet or two. I would then build a tanking wall upto ground level using blocks...

Hi all, Im looking to build a simple lean too shelter coming off an existing agricultural building. I wanted to put down osb, then line it with plastic sheet then put metal box profile sheets over the top. Is this the correct method or am I missing something? Do I need to sheet beneath the OSB...

Time to retire my old mixer haha. It ran wonky for the last few months so I gave up cleaning it. It wants to do cartwheels due to the weight. The metal between stand and mixer broke a few times and was re welded. Its been through its paces and been very good to me for the 50quid I paid for it...

Thanks for the replies. I was hoping to reuse the panels and just replace the glazing bars. I could just replace the roof beams with new ones also. I'll have a look for screws and go from there

Hi all, I've recently bought a house that very old conservatory with wooden glazing bars. I was going to replace them with metal/plastic glazing bars but first I need to figure out how the old ones come off. I've attached a picture. Any ideas? Also do you think the way the rafters are attached...

https://www.forterra.co.uk/bricks https://www.hanson.co.uk/en Travis perkins do a good matching service. Above are the suppliers of the bricks they can obtain. Look into one of the multi type bricks, chatsworth multi, southdown multi, woodstock multi etc etc. Use google image search to see...

https://www.bltdirect.com/silver-finish-solar-led-security-light-with-motion-sensor I could of paid alot more like the one in the link above... it doesnt say whether its on all the time or just by PIR.... and I bet its from china too. When I press the switch the whole thing stays off and PIR...

I know it was my fault for not reading the advert properly. Ive seen that B&Q kind on ebay for around £10 but ideally wanted something smaller and less obvious. Thanks

I recently bought 4 solar security PIR lights off ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4X-30LED-Solar-Powered-PIR-Motion-Sensor-Wall-Security-Light-Garden-Outdoor-Lamp/263947926441?hash=item3d7485bba9:m:mUI-mcUSUflNcmS8TGGeEuw:rk:7:pf:0 The items were good but they also werent what I expected as...

If you do put the mesh in raise it upto the middle of the slab using broken engineering bricks (so concrete can flow underneath and above it). Also remember to tie the reinforcing mesh to one another using wire.

The studwork timber from wickes is normally pretty grotty or twisted/bowed. The merchants like jewsons and travis perkins seem to have a slightly thicker profile and less twists or bows in the wood. You can go in there and setup a trade cash account even if your not in the trade. It entitles you...

Maybe throw in some reinforcing mesh for good measure. Also remember to put in some membrane between the type1 and the slab. You could blind it with sand or just add thicker membrane

I forgot to mention I already have bought an oak door and the wood for the frame. I might swap the windows out in the future but was really trying to make it look acceptable for a couple of years whilst I decide. The current PVC door has a split skin and full of chips. Not to mention is hung...

Hi all, I have a property with rosewood upvc windows and front door with side panel. The door has seen better days so I want to swap it out with a wooden one set into a wooden frame. The windows are fine though and their colour is rosewood (a kind of dark brown pvc wood effect). Ive been looking...
