I did call back about the two steels option as that's how I originally thought it would have been done, however he said he could design a 3 piece spliced steel that could be bolted but he wanted paying again for it! ! So I didn't bother. But now I have a 350kg steel to lift and place in with...

The double skin of brick including the cavity measure 290 inside to out so the 203 would be short either side but with 254 you are closer each side of that makes sense. And the steel was based on the calcs provided from online structural calcs working from my drawings, these are fed into a...

The beam is supporting the first floor and roof at back of house, the original design was a 203x203x36 I think, will check in a moment. The bco said he wanted me to go a size up as 203 will leave to much brick on either side and best to go a size up which the next is 254 hence why that size and...

Another one on joists here, ensuite bathroom will have a large freestanding bath in it, joist below are 8"x2" spaced at 350mm and run at at length of 3400mm. Bath will hold around 220litres and me at 12stoneish in weight. Are the joists ok are need to be doubled up? Please advise, cheers

Just ripped out bathroom suite and taken room abck to bones and come across 2 rotting floor joists as pictured. The rest are ok just these two from under the bath. What the cheapest quickest way to sort them out and how do I go about it?

We bought the house with the extension shell competed and just ready to first fix. The previous owner had bricked up window and the plans show the intended knockthrough, but we have decided we don't want to go with the plan on that of the build and to just keep it as storage, is this ok?

Ok so if I put rails up and shelves etc for storage then when the bco comes round to sign off there won't be a problem with this at all and I just simply say its a store room?

5 bedroom house originally configured as 3. The original plan was to knock through the front bedroom existing into the new one. The existing had a window at the front which has been taken out and filled in now. We have decided not to knock through and just use the existing room as a general...

Think I've sorted it, called maplins and said I need a converter for it to convert from make to female connection

Because they are all outputs, not inputs. Simply put the tv leads are all like plugs and they need to go into a socket just like a plug goes into a wall socket. So there aren't any holes in the tv unit to plug IN to? I can only believe what is in from of my eyes and the leads built into the...

Sam, all those you have listed are outputs NOT inputs including the rf aerial lead.. Happy to post up picture later, they are all outputs on wires that hand from the bottom of the sealed waterproof tv unit

Haha!! Sorry damn auto complete on iphone, but you know what I meant! To keep things simple here, its a bathroom tv and the connector on the unit for the you would expect to plug in an external aerial is a rf out so I can't plug the aerial into the tv as there is nothing to plug into.

Just got a bathroom tv and maybe being really daft here but plugged in switched on and now looking at the wires hanging out the bottom. Hdmi/USB etc etc and a cable labeled rf in, yet the connector itself is an rf out? How the hell do I connect a tv Ariel to it if the connector on the tv is...

Hi Graeme, I think you are right on the old English dark red, hadn't seen the sandtoft range, would you say the rustic is a near match in terms of colour? Looking through some images of them on the web and looking promising

Anyone fancy a stab at the colour of my existing roof? And if the Redlands equivilant would colour match or not?

From my reading on the marley site it's says mendip as low as 15 (smooth is what we require) question is really how similar do they look to the Romans and is the colour match on the Redlands vs marley Romans way out? Have ruled out the marley Romans now then as they are min of 22.5 and we only...
