Im Using google sketchup to do the plans, all free, just had to measure the house a lot lol. I think the best solution is to keep both doors tbh, with the back door where it is as well it doesnt really help me not to have them. but noise reduction from the kitchen would be nice. but at...

point 1, no it doesn't need them, but the hallway would look weird without them both. and it doesnt save me any room in the living room to remove it, and it woudl probably be annoying to have to walk through the living room to get to the kitchen from upstairs point 2, yeah this is probably...

I'm looking to replace the following bay window cladding: Apart from the bleached washed out look of the tiles, some are falling off and most have moved and i think it would make a massive difference to the look of the house if i was to renew them, plus doing it myself shouldn't be too...

Does anyone have any experience with the cheaper LED Floodlights you can find online? The outside light at home is not much use and id like to replace it, however I have a feeling id be disappointed with the output of the LED floodlights. something like this...

(here goes the disclaimer so hopefully i can get an answer) just to satisfy my curiosity and to perhaps learn somthing, as i wont be designing this. I can see why you suggest a metal CU when fitting a CU in the shed, would it be possible instead to fix the armored cable in to an intermediate...

Im currently purchasing parts to wire up my shed as a workshop. im in contact with an electrician who has instructed me on a number of parts to buy. however i dont like to keep bothering him with constant questions and would like to have some of the materials ready for him when he comes to wire...

thanks for the responses so far. Im not intending to cook on it as as you say it will be too low and smoke would be a problem, it would be for warmth on cool summer evenings sat outside. At the moment, there is no chance of children in or around it and certainly wouldn't be lit if kids...

Im thinking about installing a fire pit into decking, Im posting this in the building forum because im guessing you guys will have a better idea about materials to contain heat than the garden forums. If your not sure what a firepit is, its basically a brick or stone outdoor fire, they dont seem...

Heres a log of my 8'x12'shed build. Initially the plan was to get the cheapest shed i could bare as a temporary store for some bits and bobs, but in the end I opted to do a proper job to make my shed more useful and with a view of using it as a workshop once I have kitted it out a bit. First...
