Anyone experience using this? The front of my house is split into a small lawn and a concrete area which can park one car. I am looking @ options basically getting rid of the small lawn so i can get a second car off the road. Bonded gravel looks really good...can anyone offer advice...

Well i did it yesterday evening using lead strips :-) Considering the guy next door has no clips visible I think/hope i will be alright! Quite windy today so maybe ill find out when i get home. In any case im doing it in two phases...an under cloak i think is what its called?...I havent the...

Thanks for that..Im in ireland and anything that can be skimped on generally is!! Could i make some from lead? (the lead im using for the flashing which is code 4 cut into 50mm strips) Marty

Hi guys, have to put an apron flashing on a new roof..its a slate lean to. Anyway i cut out the chase ages back just hadnt the time to put on the lead. I have made lead soakers and i have installed an apron over them before and all worked well. However when i look on the lead sheet...

Yeah at the end of the day its not a whole pile of cash..but its still steep considering im doing the excavation...ive no choice in who to get to do it. 700€ is 500£ to do 4 foot of plumbing!..take an hour??! numoty1...you appear to be knowledgeable about the irish system...can i get...

No problem!!

Yeah i mean the provider...maybe im wronging Corgi so by making the assumption that its the same setup as here, but in ireland as far as i know the only guys who do gas work as in plumbing etc are the national provider "boird Gais". Actually now that i think of it i must check that out for sure...

Whatever..just having a bit of banter...and yes they are ripping me off..700€ to move a meter 4 foot along an outside wall. And thats with me doing all the excavations...they are merely plumbing it. So i just thought id try and get a bit more work out of them if required while they were there...

Bet you were looking for a reason all day to use those fellas!!

Hey..only back online now. I didnt measure the pipe...its the traditional half inch copper pipe...maybe its 12 or 15mm, i stopped carrying my vernier calipers around with me everywhere as it was freaking people out. Anyway if im reading ye right it isnt sufficient for both appliances. The...

Hi, Im considering gettting a gas cooker and hob. I currently only use the mains gas for heating. My mains gas comes into my garage in a 1" pipe and is reduced to 10mm once it comes inside the wall and goes straight to the boiler. The position of where id like to put my new cooker(havent got...

Cheers, Most of it was really glossy...spent 2 evenings scraping the paint off and 2 evenings with the sander..so have got down to the bare wood pretty much everywhere...i think the doors are teak or mahogany...quite a dark wood anyway. After all my work im reluctant to paint the wood!! but...

U may have an airlock...turn off all the rads..then turn one on at a time to force water thru. Then turn off boiler and bleed that rad...turn it off and move to next. (just do it to the rads that arent heating and it may solve the prob) Other than that it may be your pump but i guess the...

Cheers noseall. Appreciate it, marty.

Hi guys, Last year i rebuilt my garage...i left the old floor in situ but i "trimmed it around the edges to allow me to beef up the foundations to accept a twin leaf cavity wall. I never got around to refilling this part of the floor!! Basically what im left with if a 6" trench around my...

Hi again, have my doors almost completely stripped now and am looking @ the superdec paint. I am 100% sure that the paint was put on over an old stain or a varnish. Can i put the superdec on over this or do i need to rub down etc and can the superdec be used as an undercoat aswell? Cheers...

Cheers thanks for the tips...but do i need to sand the doors first? Cheers Marty
