OK great, thanks for the info:D Are there any other methods of distinguishing/narrowing it down further?

Hi, Can anyone identify the wood these early 80's kitchen cabinets are made from? They were in the house when we bought it, solid wood just really minging and dilapidated. Once the rest of the house is done I'm hoping to make a bench or coffee table from the wood. The end grain is a fresh...

Think they're going to be too much for me and the wife then! :D I've done some more reading and I think I'm going to give the gyproc plank or similar a go. They're 19mm thick but only 600mm wide. Bit pricier but a lot safer I think

Thanks for the replies guys. Great info on making holes to confirm where the joists are ill definitely do that. There's loads to choose from as they get down to around 180mm centres in the middle I don't want to go too crazy with anything extra I'm only looking the soundbloc pb as I'm...

Hi:) During my house renovations I want to overboard the existing plasterboard ceiling, I'm moving lights and it's currently covered in some kind of wood chip. Is there any issue with using 15mm soundbloc? The current ceiling is installed onto 8x2 timber joists. I realise the sheets are...

ah ok, so i could cut them off in line with the edge of the purlin? if thats the case it'd make my life a hell of a lot easier. i suppose looking at it they're not actually doing anything structurally apart from being something to nail plasterboard to. in the other rooms they had a timber...

Hi, I'm continuing my renovation of my 80s dormer house. In the previous rooms roof area I've had relatively (not one with the same dimensions though) uniform timbers in the central apex part of the roof, so I've installed 100mm celotex in between and over boarded with 50mm. In the last room...

Great, thanks again:)

It's going to leave around 6 inches of 10mm dead leg, I know where the tee is as I saw them whilst replacing the floorboards, it would require either ripping out the ceiling or raising floorboards, neither of which is viable now really. It's a wb combi boiler, so no tanks etc. 22mm comes off...

Great cheers:) What's best to do with the 10mm microbore? Cap each pipe off as close to the ceiling as possible? Thanks again

Hi, many thanks for the reply:) The original rad on the 10mm does not get hot, if I tee off that won't it make it even worse? Reason I wanted to cone off the 15mm as all the rads running off that are piping hot.

Hi, The bottom of my house is a semi basement where we keep the washing machine etc. In the stairwell there's a large 1500 x 600 double panel rad, supplied by 10mm microbore. When the heatings on it just about gets warm, never hot. IMG_20191005_133747 by Tirglas_7 posted 5 Oct 2019 at 1:41 PM...
