What exactly does toe nail mnea. I would have been putting nails in at an angle from each side of the joist down into the frame. I sthis wrong?

Should i use them or just nail the joists to the frame?

I guess the best way to go is then construct 4 frames each 12' by 12' and then bolt them all together to give me a 24' by 24' deck. With regards my joists - i am using 6" X 2". I was originally intending to have them placed at 18" centres. Is this overkill with regards structural strength or...

Had a look through the list and couldn't really find anything by Thermo relating to this. Am I just blind? Thanks.

Quick question. I am about to lay a deck using 6" X 2" joists for the frame sitting on equally spaced paving stones to give it a solid level base. The size of the deck is roughly 25' X 23' and the joists are 16' in length. Can anyone give me pointers as to the best way to construct the...

Thats exactly what i am saying Lower.

I was hoping to have it looking neater with the same worktop/ end panels as the kitchen as i have removed the dorr into the utility to open the kitchen up.

I have a utility room which i am wanting to put my washing machine and tumble drier into. I have recently got a new kitchen and have an end panel and some worktop left over. What I am hoping to do is have a piece of worktop the width of the washing machine and an end panel fitted and slide the...

Youve hit the nail on the head. so the fitting i have would have a 3/4 " nut go over the end which attaches to the rad valve, but in my case this would not work cause my nuts are 1/2" - don't laugh. so the bottom line is i have an extension suitable for a 3/4" rad valve.

sorry Chris - i put in the wrong link.. doh. The correct picture is the first one. Although the part I have is variable from 20mm to 40mm. The section that goes into the rad can be tightened from the other end using an allen key and then the outer sleeve slides out to extend the tube.

The existing valve rad valve on my pipe work has no nut and a male thread. The current rad valve has a male thread which goes into the radiator and the other end has a compression fitting and the nut attaches to the male thread on the valve. If i remove the existing rad valve and screw in the...

here is a picture of what i have http://www.heatandplumb.com/acatalog/40mm_Radiator_Extension.html

It sounds like you guys are talking about an extension tube that has one male end thread and one female end. The tube i have, on the end with the rubber seal the seal sits in a groove at the very end of the tube and has no threads that would allow it to be threaded into the rad. The other...

I have a 47 " single panel radiator to be installed and my problem is that it was a 49" radiator there previously and the pipesfeeding the radiator are bedded in concrete. I was planning to get a couple of radiator extension tubes and fitting them to save any hassle. On looking at these...

I have just removed a door frame from between two rooms and am the 2 walls need filled in to make the walls of the 2 rooms become one. My problem is the header.... There is a large space - approx 4 inches between the header in either room where the door frame used to be. Also the header on one...

What about if I am using PVC pipe rather than copper, do i still need to lag the 15mm pipe to the radiator and do i still need a minimum 1" clearance.

with the existing layout and the way i intend to go the only way is to have a section of pipe under the concrete floor. With this in mind how deep should i dig up the concrete for: A) the 28mm insulated 22mm pipe running from the boiler and B) the 15mm pipe running to the new rad...

I am about to lay new pipe work from my new boiler outside my house. With regards the 22mm feed to and from and to the boiler, I am lagging it with 28mm insulation before laying it under ground. Question 1 is: How deep into the ground should i lay it. Secondly I am digging up my...

So far all the help has been excellent. Just one last question... The ceiling is pitched at the same angle as the roof rather than a level ceiling. What is the best way to secure the header of the wall frame in place? Should I cut the 4" X 2" at an angle in order to attach it to the rafter...
