lol that took a while to read ( slightly hung over and dreary eyed) its strange that m+s havnt been out iv always found them really good :shock: they have always delivered on time maybe they do have staff problems, it would be nice for them to be straight up with you though. if you have lost...

lol no sorry! not fishing for work either :D . on a serious note though scaffolding is the best way and dont think any different please. i have 4 sons and would love to fall off a ladder now and again just to have a few weeks a year in hospital for the peace and quiet, maybe thats why i have no...

to be honest sandy, even though i commented about working off ladders these days people should use scaffolding. i consider myself oldschool and refuse to bow down to the laws of the health and safety executive. i would never consider that anyone who requires scaffolding to do a job at height...

my apologies woody!! its a ridge board!!! my first post was wrong aaarghh this weeks stress and tonights stella have taken a great hold in my brain lol. as per design!!!! there is none! i was shown a plan (as on a building notice) no structural calcs at all! but i can normally work of them...

i was thinking the same. iv worked in my own area for years and know all the bco`s and planning officers. i kind of think i have a professional relationship with them. tbh normally when they come out on a call and see its me they just cast a glancing eye and say all is good. this job however...

nothing lost in translation freddy! im being serious! even though we may lose a couple of mm in conversion lol. iv never seen a ridge board so big. i literally showed him the size with some offcuts and looked at him stupid. but theres no movement. hes adamant im wrong! only 17 years as a...

to me its well over odds. iv checked all the tables and im well in scope. its the 1st time iv seen this bco, hes only a young pup so i dont know whether or not he knows something i dont or he is just being a bell end. how do i approach this little **** and say retire young cause you aint got a...

my sentiments exactly sas. hse is bringing the trade to its knees literally. i remember decking dormas off a set of triples and a cat lol

hi there again mate! just wondered how you got on with your kitchen? i hope you got a great deal and a great kitchen :D

my apologies mate i was commenting on freddies answer just to build my own knowledge. his reply of 7x2 is the one i would go for . i was just being a little bit cheeky to be honest. no offence intended :(

may be me misunderstanding lol but i thought the span for c24 6x2 was 3.39m internal span . i was allowing for the wall plate too which would be 6.98m plus the central support. if the 7m is internal measurement i will bow out graciously and say oops sorry .

or 150x50 if you use c24 timber :) at 400c of course

hi all, ill try to make this brief. my head is in the process of melting with all the crap im getting from bco on a traditional roof i have made on a 3.5m extension. firstly i will give you roof specs ridge board 2 9x3 c24 timbers bolted together with m12s and dog tooths valley rafters...

if the prices are similiar then i would choose howdens hands down purely for the guarantee and being a national company etc. to be honest i couldnt tell you the difference in the quality of the frontals as there isnt any lol. its down to you mate! company name and piece of mind or higher spec...

just make sure you get what YOU want. if the carcusses aint the same finish make sure the end panels are included, if you want soft close ask them if they come as standard etc. i would reccomend you write a specific list of what you want then tell them dont forget to barter :D

well that didnt work either so im close to giving up lol. so my question is:- does anyone know if the escort endura engine from same year will fit? as iv got the offer of 1 including gearbox for £100 and its running fine. cheaper than the pump if it is indeed that and believe it or not its...

yes the visit is free, i dont know who company is owned by but iv never heard any bad stories. if they say £1400 to start be cheeky and say a grand cash :twisted: . at the end of the day they want your money and your in the best position to barter, if you do get it for 1200 then you will be...

i normally use howdens but you will need a tradesman to arrange for the plan to be done i find that they have quality kitchens at decent prices however if you follow the link at the bottom, iv had a few kitchens off these that customers have ordered and they have always been very good with both...
