i can imagine if there are lots of roots then it'll be a nightmare but if you have a toolhire shop nearby you could try and hire one of these to dig the holes http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Clearance/Landscaping/Petrol+Auger+150mm+Auger+Bit/d50/sd3210/p32384 could be money well spent :wink:

haven't used the metal fence supports before but this may be of some help http://www.diynot.com/pages/op/op003.php 6 inches won't be enough for a good solid fence

buy a cat, they protect their own ground :lol: seriously i hate the things and have the same problem as yourself. i've managed to reduce the amount of fur visitors in my garden by doing a few things, put some sharp gravel in one of the flower beds they use to do their business on, planted...

what type of a hedge is it? is it one which will grow strong branches that could put pressure on the fence? ideally for the fence to last years and years i'd use concrete posts that allow you to slide fence panels into them. will cost a bit more than wooden posts but will last much longer...

Have had an Indian Sandstone Patio down for about 14 months now. Roughly 30m2 and i'd say about 30-40% of the cement pointing between each slab has come away or is breaking up Is this normal for it too happen so quick? I'd have thought the pointing should last a few good years before...

i'd be suprised if the bitrates would have changed. can you put some of the music on an mp3 player or a different pc to see what bitrate is displayed to determine if it's an issue on the pc or music files themselves

if it's new deck then there's no need to apply a cleaner to it

Not really contradicting themselves, Is it not more that the U value has to be below a certain level which requires you not to have to have doors (2.2 or something?) Still doesn't mean you're not going to lose a lot of heat compared to an internal brick room. Our neighbours have a straight...

yep it's in england! This seems to be the case everywhere. I had several issues/concerns when I got my connie and building work and I got so many different stories from different builders, building regs people, councils and planning people. I ended up ringing people and varous councils...

Thanks for the replies. Just rang the building office as my friends were getting mixed answers from different people and wanted me to check as they're an old couple. I've been told that because the U value in the conservatory windows and glass is 1.4 there is no law/regulations to have a door...

Friend has had a new conservatory built and it is joined onto the dining room but is straight through (no door). They have put a radiator in the conservatory which is fed off the main system. I'm not sure but I thought they would have had to have a "external quality" door between the dining...

In the conservatory there is a light switch and in that switch is a 13amp fuse. Is this sufficient or not? sorry i know very little about electrics but am ringing the electricians again later so it would be good if someone could confirm this or not Thanks

I believe the socket that they've taken it from is itself a spur yes it's 2 cables thanks

We've recently had a new conservatory and a firm has installed some electric sockets and 2 lights. I'm not sure if this has been done correctly or should I say by best practice so I'd like some advice please To get the electric to the conservatory they've taken it from a power socket in...

i have no idea :?: are they not a bit old fashioned

cheers, any makes better than others or any makes to avoid? thanks

Hi, Now it's getting cooler I'm looking to get a free standing heater for our new conservatory. it's an edwardian type with roughly 3.8x3.5m floor space Unsure what is the best type to get, Oil Filled, Electric etc Looking for a fairly efficient heater so that might rule out...

have u tried connecting your laptop to the router with a cat5 cable and seeing what speed you can get?
