    shed roof advice

    You'll have a very bent roof. Personally, I'd put in 3 A frames. You may just be ok with just one central one.

    Glass shelves?

    If you are wanting the edges ground, beveled and polished then that's why the quote is expensive. The pieces may well have to be sent to a specialist to get it done.

    Recommended drill bit set

    That is a much more sensible approach. You might want to pick up a 7mm as well for brown plugs.

    Recommended drill bit set

    Depends on your definition of decent but it doesn't generally come as a gazillion bits in a blow moulded plastic case. Decent bits are expensive e.g. http://www.uktoolcentre.co.uk/Power-Tool-Accessories/Drill-Bits/Dormer/

    Returfing

    You'd better tell them about it when you get quotes even if you don't want them to remove it.

    Pressure treated 4*2 or 6*2 as appropriate.

    Which Makita combi and impact? Plus bits q

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing against brushless and I'm not suggesting there is any evidence of early failure. At the back of my mind is the quality of Chinese electronics which can be as good as you get but are often not. I doubt a normal diy-er will ever wear out the brushes in their...

    Bags of ballast in back of car.

    I think that whoever it was is an interfering to55er and should do one. You're fine with 10 bags btw.

    Mixing Soil and Sand

    If it works at all a paddle mixer will be slower than shoveling it. I think a cement mixer is your only option.

    Which Makita combi and impact? Plus bits q

    I've had the 458 / 146 combination for a few years now and been both impressed and happy with them. They get far less use than my 10.8V driver and impact though. In fact the 458 is probably my least used power tool and usually only gets used for drilling steel or large holes in wood. The 146...

    DeWalt bevel problem

    I'm not familiar with your machine. Unless a DW owner can chip in, a call to DeWalt or the place you bought it from is probably in order. I'd be looking for a replacement it it's new.

    DeWalt bevel problem

    The gap that the blade leaves as it cuts. If something is out of kilter it may show in the cut. Have you checked for play in the spindle bearings or a loose blade? Do that first if you haven't already.

    DeWalt bevel problem

    Then I'm as stumped as you. The only other thing I can suggest is to clamp both sides in place to examine whether there is a taper in the kerf.

    DeWalt bevel problem

    I'm not entirely sure I've understood you but if the board you are cutting is not completely flat the bevel will be out of square so check that first.

    Where to get security fixings?

    Cordless planers

    Finally got around to using it today and it's an absolute delight. Way better in use than my cheapo mains one. Recommended.

    Level fencing

    You need to buy or improvise a water level. A hosepipe with a clear container mounted at each end will do. Mount the uphill side at the level you want to start from and take a guess at the other end using stakes of some sort.. Fill with water and see if the downhill side overflows or is a no...

    Level fencing

    Yes, I always do them flush with the posts. I've never seen brackets for cant rails. Arris rail brackets should be about 80p each. It's not just rust resistance per se. The coating on decking screws is non metallic to better resist the corrosion that you get from the preservative in the wood...
