My new build house has the DPC installed above the weeper vents. Is this normal practise, and correct? I know the patio base has been laid to close to the DPC (fecking cowboy landscape gardener), but just thought it odd that it was at the top, not below the weeper vent. Cheers

I may end up doing it myself, as it's looking like I may be out of work at the end of June, so I'll have the time to do it anyway.

No problem Thermo. Totally appreciate your busy, and respect your decision not to give an indication of price. That said, I'd really appreciate. any information you could give me where you think it's over-engineered would be appreciated? Thanks for your other comments guys. I do appreciate...

Fair enough, didnt see that it was against the forum rules to get an indication of proce. Just checked and can see that now.

I bought a new build house a few years ago and in the main bathroom, specifically at the end of the bath is a boxed area slightly wider than the bath which was tiled completely, as part of the specification. (In fact the whole bathroom was tiled floor to roof). I've pulled the side cover of...

I'm in the market for a new 'general purpose' drill for DIY duties around the house, however it should be able to manage the odd bit of brick drilling. I came across an offer via email from tooled up.com on the Bosch Gsr 14.4-2 for 89.95 inc VAT (reduced from £257.32+vat) Anyone any views...

The last few releases of MSN Messenger have included the MSN toolbar. You can choose not to install it, but unsurprisingly the default option is to include it. :roll:

I thought it was 10% of the speed limit + 3Mph.....so 69mph in a 60 zone Hang on....im sure there is a link somewhere...just need to find it

Gotcha....will do and let you know :wink:
