3330mm is what the plans are for...

Sorry my bad... total width of garage is 3330mm

Thanks for the replies all. I've decided to go with an 8ft door which is 244cm. 244 + 44 + 44 = 332 I'm guessing 2 cm over won't be an issue with the planners? Some garage doors hang off the backside of the piers so with that in mind 8ft opening would be fine. We've decided on a brand called...

Thanks for the reply Charlie. I'm hoping I can build the opening to a standard size to keep the cost of the door down. Are doors readily available in 2420mm?

Hello, I'm building a single garage and wanting to know what the standard opening size is for the brickwork. I've measured another single garage and that is 228cm inside of the opening brick to brick. I have been granted permission for a 3.3m wide garage. I was going to build piers that are 47cm...

The normal chain puller works for most applications but there's a couple of odd jobs where the gap is bigger and the opening width of the chain tensioner isn't enough.

We are meant to drop the drive shaft to release tension from the chains but doing it this way saves alot of time. The boss doesn't mind but he just has to turn a blind eye to the modified tools for insurance and liability reasons.

Thanks for the replies. Yes I forgot to say a car spring compressor tool would work great but id have to modify it then hide it when it comes to tool checks by my boss. Other than that it would be perfect. Thanks for the links. I have some fuel filter pliers on the way which are similar. As...

Ok managed to shift a fair amount of the brake dust. The wonder wheels wasn't much better than the CIF. The colour changing additive wonder wheels uses seems to be a bit of a gimmick. The thing that shifted most of it was a dishwasher pad and me scrubbing hard. All brushes and sponges seemed to...

I have to join some fairly tight chains at work (10B2 style). I was discussing with my collegue if a hook to hook turnbuckle would to pull the chains together so I can get the master link in place. He seemed to think it would work but then giving it some further thought i'm not so sure. I think...

Thankyou for the replies. I have read mixed reviews about wonder wheels. Halford do it for 8quid so I shall give it a whirl. I also hear cif works and also cheap disinfectant with a nylon brush

Hi all, I recently bought a new car with baked on brake dust on the alloy wheels. Anyone know any handy tips for removing this? Thanks

That CAT phone looks like it will do the job and a few extra features also. The CAT s42 seems to have a flir cam also. Whats the air quality tester like on the CAT phone? I was also interested in the UNI-T red FLIR cam. Its a make i've used before for digital clamp meters etc. Anyone got any...

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a FLIR camera. Can anyone recommend any? I just need it for general residential use not commercial stuff. Cheers

Hi all, I have some grout lines that are cracking in the shower. I have raked them out and added more grout but still I have some water going through the wall. I notice there are sealers available for showers, can anyone recommend a product for this? I'm guessing the installers didn't use an...

Thanks for your reply. I found the temp gauge but sadly no motorised mirrors

Hi all, I've just swapped out a 08 plate honda jazz for a 10 plate honda civic. A couple of features are missing which were on the jazz but seem to be lacking on the civic. I've only had the car a couple of days so may discover these in due course. The two things in question are motorised...

The guy who used to own our house was involved in demolition. He left us behind behind lovely wrecking ball. I can't seem to find much info about them though. Any idea if there worth anything? Cheers

Thanks Woody. Unfortunately the trench keeps filling up with water so it's hard to get the bottom dry. I have some hard-core I could tamp into the bottom of the trench?

OK so we called them and they said they'd be there Monday. I dug the trench dug by hand as I didn't want the weight of the digger to mess up the block paving. Does the trench sides need to be smooth? Slicing the mud off the sides makes me want a kebab
