we have our 8 x 6 shed sitting on 3 x 2 concrete flags, never had any problems as long as you make sure there all bedded firmly and don't rock you shouldn't either. You will probably get some people tell you that you need to pour a concrete slab for it but in reality you don't, its only a...

thanks for all those who replied, I have had 2 other builders round over the weekend and am just waiting to hear back with a price now.

Anyone used any tools from a company called ox, there quite new I think. I've seen they do an 18" preworn trowel that I thought would be ideal for flattening in when skimming. Prices seem reasonable just don't know what the tools are like. Don't know if this would be better in the...

i thought he meant the base rail was wider than the stringer, thats what it looks like in the pic anyway

not sure about cost as we only occasionally do dot and dab and we do it ourselves and then get someone in to skim it unless its a small area, 95% of our work is on studs so we just board and skim. Im sure a pro plasterer will be along to advise on the cost difference shortly.

Got a quote to have our front dormer re felted from our usual builder. Size is 6.5 x 2m We were quoted £850 to strip off old felt and apply two layers of felt using hot bitumen and then torch on mineral felt cappings. All rubbish removed from job. This price isn't for reboarding...

screw the base rail into the stringer and then thicken the stringer up with matching timber. So if its an oak base rail and spindles thicken the stringer up with oak or if your going to paint it all just use mdf and paint that as well. This is how we did our's and its been like that for...

12.5 mm for the plasterboard plus about 10 mm for the adhesive if you put it on tight. why the need for dot and dab, could you not just plaster and skim?

as i said i have visited the showroom and they seem well built and well made, they looked far better than over priced magnet.

were thinking of doing our kitchen and have visited the www.diy-kitchens.com showroom in pontefract, the quality is very good and they have loads different sizes and options available. They come pre built and they are very very reasonably priced. From what discussed with them they make...

b&q have two brands of kitchens it kitchens use 16mm carcasses cooke and lewis 18mm get the cooke and lewis doors and you should be fine

thanks for the extra pics. As you say looking at those brackets there not perfect but they will probably do the job if you remove a bit off the battens with a chisel or something of that nature. If the panels still feel a bit insecure once in you could always use some angle brackets fastened...

use galvanised coach bolts to attach the new posts, you might even be able to use the old bolts providing there long enough and not rusty. If the fence panels came with clips then you should use these, what do they look like? Usually the rails on the back of feather edge fencing would be...

you haven't actually said what you want to use this "base" for. Can't advice if we don't know what kind of strength is required.

I would use 10mm limestone, It will be easier to get a good finish than with 20. Mix it 4 stone, 2 Sharp sand, 1 cement. If your using a belle mixer the easiest way do do that is 2 bags stone, 1 bag sand and half bag cement. Don't bother with all in ballast the last time I used it...

thanks mw roofline, Ill make sure I wait for a warm day, that might be a while at this rate

thanks for your help woody

Hi, Im going to redo the roof on my garage this easter and planning to use epdm. I have been looking at permaroof for the materials and wondered what the difference is between the firestone adhesive and the permaroof adhesive apart from one being twice the price. Does anybody have experience...

sorry todrag this thread up again but how have you found the silverline gun? At £35 its a steal if it does the job. I usually tend to steer away from silverline but I cant justify paying hundereds for a tool that I will only use once in a blue moon so thought this might be a good alternative
