thanks for the response. Any ideas on how much the kegs or blocks cost roughly? Is it a matter of heating up the blocks?

Can anyone please check my attached diagram to see if i have the right idea about wiring them correctly. I hope the diagram isnt too odd but it shows a cable coming from the fusebox to a switch then through each of the holders. This would only be a temporary wiring setup for the loft with 3...

Can anyone explain the procedure for making felt adhesive? Occasionally I have seen this being applied by roofers but i dont know what goes into it. I need lots of this stuff to fix new felt on to a roof. The ready-made alternative i can find in the shops is a cold adhesive but only comes in...

Just realised i had an email topic reply from this section. I can elaborate on my experience. I used this product for doing a small bathroom job last year. This involved boarding up all four walls of a 7x6 room. I had already stripped the whole room back to brick because the old plaster was...

Very good advice Deluks thanks, Ive returned the other hanger and gone for a different one. It was actually on the same page as the link you provided truss hanger. They are more expensive but larger too. So i hope ive chosen the right one for my 6x2. Also i will have to fix these hangers to...

If anyone can help with this aswell. I bought some 2x6 and a joist hanger. But the hanger is longer on the back and has two sharp corners sticking out. So i am assuming these are designed to go into brickwork. But since i will be fixing them to the side rafters will i need to cut the ends off or...

Yes youre right because there is the higher house roof on one side. So with heavy snow there is the possibility of it drifting and landing on this new roof. The other side wall is lower. There is one main consideration i need to add. There is a roof gutter running along the full side of the...

Thanks for that useful info. Youre right i will go with 2x6 for the rafters. Rechecked the ground to roof height and it will be just over 7 feet. The pitch has been worked out aswell. Also the joist hangers are spot on and will save extra chiselling work. Any advice on what size anchor bolts...

I am hoping to build a roof between two walls to create a shed/veranda for storage space. There is nothing there at the moment. The size of the shed will be approximately 8 foot wide by 12 foot long. I have been thinking about using two big 2"x6"x3m timbers for the sides and bolting them to the...

So i take it cabins arent very popular? :o The odd thing is that some of the cabins ive looked at are around the £1000+ mark. Whereas normal quadrant enclosures are perhaps £400-500 or less. Fair enough the cabins come with a built-in shower valve and no need for tiling. But still its a...

Im in the process of refitting my bathroom and need some advice for the shower. Is a normal shower enclosure best or would a cabin be better? What are the advantages and disadvantages for each regarding installation and maintenance? Can anyone advise on which type of unit would be best; I...

Can anyone please advise on how to do this. The stump i want to remove is planted in a pot made of stone. This makes access slightly awkward. I have managed to remove some of the surface roots and soil. But the stump and larger roots are quite difficult to cut. I have even tried an electric saw...
