what kind of fixing would you recommend? i am building two sides of the shed and using an existing wall and an existing fence as the other parts (its for weather cover rather than security) i was going to fix the one side down to the slabs with screws rather than use a metpost or anything...

complete newbie question so i apologise in advance I am building a lean to shed for my motorbike and want to secure the frame to my very solid patio i have a cordless hammer drill and a 240v non hammer drill, the cordless doesnt seem to have the juice and the non hammer drill has just left...

thats the stuff i need, shiplap TGV, so that is best sought from a timber merchant rather than focus or b&q? not too keen on the corrugated plastic, still want it to look good lol :)

thanks for all the useful info guys security isnt too important in terms of a feature as it is only there for weather protection and to keep it out of view i will have an anchor to chain the bike to and it is being built on top of well laid heavy duty flags i had a look around in focus...

i am building a shed for my motorbike to go in which will be around 220 x 140 cm with the door on the narrow end it is a lean too shed and the rear and one side are already in place i was just going to use some fence panels for the remaining side but was looking at tongue and groove...

so should i try a new pcb as my next repair attempt?

so are you saying that if i ran a few angle brackets along the unsecured side i could use some smaller screws to fix directly into the slab, ie instead of 4 big bolts on a metpost, 3 angle brackets with 4 smaller screws in each fixed into plugs in the slabs? sounds like a good idea and i will...

nobody got an idea why the weight of the drum affects whether will fast spin?

I am building a small rectangular shed (7ft deep x 4ft wide) for my motorbike, not for theft protection merely for weather and out of sight protection at present there is a fence (6ft x 6ft panels) running to the wall of my house (45 degree to wall) with professionally sunken posts in gap on...

someone must have an idea on this one!

i have a 3015a (i think) the caress 1500 a model anyway it will only fast spin when the drum is crammed full of clothes and wont when the drum is only at normal load or less what is broken/needs renewing?

i agree that i should be replacing the bath, the only problem i have is this in terms of fixing it, its the wall side, right on the bottom curve where the side meets the base so hard/impossible to access from underneath without removing the tub in terms of replacing it im only going to be...

thanks for the advice guys, its about 5cm long and 0.5 cm wide and they have tried to repair it in the past by the looks, ill get some duct tape on it and try seaing it up with something a bit stronger but its kinda on the edge where it curls up i might just load it up with a load of bricks...

my only problem at the moment is that the bath has a small hole in it and cannot fill it, we only shower in the bath at the moment so no probs there but are there any other ways to weigh it down other than paying a fat bloke to sleep in it for a few nights any tips on what to clean it with...

i put sealant on the edges of the bath as whoever fitted it put some kinda strips of plastic to join bath to tiles which isnt sealed to the bath but is grouted onto the tiles put the sealant on (which wasnt silicone sealant, just bathroom sealant which presumably is not as good but had it...

by the way how did u pursuade a tranny to carry around ur wood and stuff for u ;-) would have thought they would be worried about ladders in the tights

i would give anything for a 525, my 3 series coupe is poop :-) for transporting stuff anyway, have to rely on my mates for things like mdf ill be posting agin in 2 weeks about how to take tiles off mdf but its all part of the learning curve my biggest question is will the adhesive take to...

i cant take the mdf back as i have cut it to size last night :) plus to get my mate back up with his car would be a pain as it wont go in my bmw :( im going to give it a bash, its a bath side panel not a shower wall so im thinking it shouldnt get wet anyway other than a bit of steam

im thinking just score the surface and drill some holes to give it some grip what do you think my chances are of them staying on if i can waterproof it all well

ok ive read the replies about using mdf for my bath side panel and am going to give it a go in the confidence that my grout will be water tight and wont leak, plus there shouldnt be any water going over the side of my bath anyway :) so can i use tile adhesive straight onto mdf???? the mdf...
