I would suggest that you remove the plaster from the wall above the opening. You should then find either a concrete lintel or a brick arch at the top of the builders opening. Of course I am assuming that the house is old enough to have an original fireplace, not a modern property with just a gas...

You do not say what size the garden is, but it does'nt look over big. In that case I would not use a rotavator, unless the ground is completely free of weeds, as it will spread the weed seeds all over the plot and you get a free lawn of weeds. For your proposed veg plot dig it over now...

Unfortunately not

I am looking for some concrete tiles to make good a hole in my roof. The tiles are like Ludlow Major but slightly smaller. Ludlow major cover 295mm, my tiles cover 282mm. Any suggestion what make/type they are. TIA

Hermes do give a receipt, if its picked up from a safe place when you not in they leave a ticket for you, and they now scan the bar code at pickup.

Best thing about hermes is that they will collect from your door for about 50p. When you are in the sticks and miles from a post office it is a bonus. Be careful with large letters, the standard price only pays for 100grams.

Drill a pilot hole and drive the screws in. They will hold in upvc with no problem.

They look like brick slips, normally around 20mm thick and stuck with mortar or tile cement. Or possibly brick effect cladding panels.

Double hung sliding sashes?

Cheap way if its for watering plants is IBC tanks, see http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WATER-STORAGE-TANK-IBC-STILLAGE-BOWSER-COAL-BUNKER-DELIVERY-FOR-2-FROM-50-UK-/121443693020?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c469bb1dc. I can fill one of these with half days rain off half a bungalow roof. I have...

Thanks for all the replies. I must admit I forgot that as soon as I switched off the power to the live bus the invertor would have shut down. I do have DC and AC isolators at the invertor and another AC isolator prior to the CU.

Have been doing some minor changes to my electrics and switched off the double pole isolator on the CU. But then a thought, solar is connected to the live bus bar via a 20amp MCB and thus makes the bus bar live again but not connected to the incoming supply. Another reason for checking for dead...

I have one of these and have not used it for some time and have lost the manual. Does anyone know the maximum nail/staple length for this tool and any on line suppliers. TIA

Rubber connectors with jubilee clips are available in lots of different sizes to join almost any pipe to another. Your local builders merchant should have a suitable size.

Having been informed by Microsoft that my free update to win 10 will soon be available I checked Disc Management to create a new partition to install win 10. I found that I have 3 recovery partitions, all empty, with respectively 450MB; 900MB and 20.01 GB of space. These prevent me from creating...

12v 1watt Bus lamps are ideal for that purpose, standard BC cap fits any table lamp. I used these some years ago for table lamps at a corporate dinner, used 12v 7ah sla batteries in plastic boxes covered with cloth as stands for the table lamps.

The space you are looking at would be originally the coal house. It is likely that the floor has sink due to years of having ton's of coal tipped on it. I would remove the brick floor, level underneath with concrete, then a liquid damp course and screed.

Following Donkmeister's post, I had a similar thing recently. Some years ago an elderly neighbour planted a Acacia tree in her garden. She was assured by the supplier that it would grow to 15 feet! After several years it was 60 feet high and still growing. She deciding it would have to come down...
