Hello, I wondered if someone could do a quick sanity check on my glasshouse design and give me a yay or nay for my timber sizes in the following mockup (the timbers are colour coded). (Ignore the bay having no support for the minute ;)) Thanks for any input!

Hi ^woody^, That was my biggest concern; whether this stuff would perform aswell as mortar. We had some guys come round not too long ago and to fix in a pillar they used a Chemfix product. This is exposed as anything else outside and seems to be holding well but its the only example i've...

I used to have a Sylbo 3hp 14cfm belt drive compressor I got from www.shiremoorcompressors.co.uk (13 amp plug). It was powerful and well made. I originally wanted one to paint with but after reading various forums like these I was convinced I wanted a larger one capable of driving air tools...

Hi Bandwagon, Thanks alot! I'll contact them for some prices when the weather clears. Seb

Thanks masona, i've just given them a call and they are sending out a catalog.

Thanks for that link. The flashing tape came about simply because I saw it on the conservatory and thought that it must be an acceptable method and so was a good starting point, but your posts and others here suggest it isn't too popular anymore, so thats out! The use of the tape was really...

Hi masona, I didn't realise they did entire precut kits, thanks for letting me know. I've had a look and I'm not sure about a couple of points though. Below is a shot of the entire thing (I probably should have shown this alot earlier!), so its not acctually connected to the house...

Hi, Following from my previous post, I want to construct a small glasshouse and would appreciate any comments/advice on the design from the pros. masona and ^woody^ have been very helpful in getting the roof to this point; its a very tricky one because the stone base is already built and...

Hi, I want to fix some coping stones to a breeze block wall and saw that Chemfix make a couple of products (Metobond and Epoxy Brick Adhesive) which seem to be just for this kind of job, but i've never used it before and had a couple of questions. 1. How does this stuff compare to mortar &...
