Hi It depends on a number variables, the attached link might help: http://www.ateck.com/hdd_calculator.asp

Dimples, We have a gravel drive (20mm gravel), weed can be a problem, but just keep on top of them, the depth of our gravel is about 30-35mm which is ok to walk on but a pain to pull the wheely bin over :-) It does need raking every now and again as car wheels do form channels and displace...

Thanks all for your valued advice. Priced the wood today, didn't realise it was that expensive :cry: , asked a company for the cost of form hire, so I will know which way to go soon. The hole is sheduled to be dug on the 7th April, so I'll post progress under the projects part of the forum.

Cheers for the advice roughcaster, will do

Hi Plstering Its for a a vehicle pit, the walls will be 200mm thick, 4000mm long and 1680mm high. The base slab will be 250mm thick, all concrete will be reinforced. I'm thinking of using 100 x 75 for bracing the panels and cross bracing.

Hi All, For a one off shuttering job (4m x 1.5m), would you use sheets of 18mm shuttering ply or 18mm MDF? cheers

:oops: I was looking at the wrong product, it should be cellcore for under a slab.

Bit of advice please: 50mm Claysheild or 50mm Claymaster, is it strong enough to stand on without damage whilst laying out rebar, or would you put a blinding over it before standing on it. Thanks

Hi All, I have searched the net for suppliers of small quantities of accesories that I will need for casting a reinforced slab and wall, the sort of things I'm after are rebar end caps, mesh latice chairs, angled edges for formwork etc, All are available but in large quantities (per box...

I used this for my home network, its fairly neat and doesn't take up much room

Wavetrain, The pit project will be a welcome distraction from work, I enjoy reseaching and planning it out (apart from paying for it of course!!). When it gets used it will be worth every penny, when not, it will be a waste of money :-) Regarding the hydrostatic pressure, I plan to have...

Thats looks a superb job, and you have given me some great info in the pics. Put mine on hold through winter, looking at starting in the next few months when the water table is lower. Costing out the option of using shuttering block or just shutter and pour, spent £200 on timber to cover...

Without highjacking this thread, I have a similar problem with the flush valve on my Ideal Standard, the eco flush wont work but the main flush does. (Geberit Impuls 260 (Twinco 1)) I think. Reading previous threads it looks like the assembly needs replacing, can the flush valve simply be...

Jem As the others have said, get the electrician to check the charging voltage and current to the battery, its a given that this is where the fault lies. The charging voltage should be in the region of 13.8v DC charging current will depend on how discharged the battery is, whatever it is...

Mine works perfectly, the minimum light level before the dimmer cycles to ramp up is plenty bright enough to avoid danger, but low enough to give a relaxed ambiance.

I have fitted this one: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Wiring_Accessories_Menu_Index/Wiring_Accessories~Dimmers_All/Dimpull/index.html it only has a dimmable output, not a switched live which remains at 230v, as it is a two way switch, you could connect a relay to the live pole...
