I've asked a couple of questions about this before but now I'm ready to take the plunge on the week end. One final check. At the bottom of my garden I have a shed, it is about 20 years old and cracked so I'm going to knock it down. It was built on a concrete base about 6" thick that also has...

Hi fitter sorry could reply earlier had to pick up the kids. I have a circlular saw but when i've used it in the past it gives quite a rough cut - would it not splinter the laminate?

cheers fitter - I have a small 900w router would that do the job worktop is 40mm, if so any idea of the bit required?

Hey guys I recenlty installed a new kitchen and everything is in apart from the work top. I need to join two 3m lenghts there are no corners it's just a straight kitchen. I was going to hire the gig and router for the weekend but I was wondering as it's a straight join do i cut the worktops...

Hey there, I am going to build a shed at the bottom of my gardern out of blocks. I was going to build upon an existing concrete base which is about 6" thick. A mate of mine advised that it would be ok to set new foundations on top of the old base and use shuttering to hold it together until...

thanks guys - put my mind at rest, didn't fancy a fire! :lol:

Can anyone advise on cable size for mains downlighters - I want to install nine 50w downlighters and I'm within the 1200w bracket. I've bought a load of 1mm wire but i'm not sure if I should use 1.5mm what would you recommend?

my washing machine is in a cupboard and I was hoping to put a dryer on top of it. unfortunatly I have no where to run the air pipe as I have neighbours next door. The only place I can run it is up into the loft above my kitchen (i have a slanted roof with 2 air vents). Will the moisture cause...

Thanks for the advice guys. The shed is 4x3x2.5m. I was going to set an RSJ into the new footings to give some support - not a good idea?

I have a shed at the bottom of my garden that has large cracks which I assume is due to old subsidence (I live near an old mine). I am going to take the shed down and build a new one - my only concern is the footings. The shed is built on quite a thick base (which is cracked); would I have to...
