Maybe. But it’s all gone a bit quiet on Israel - I’m not sure there’s a pathway to peace there. Sure. Now let’s see him sort out the other world dictators. Or is he just sticking with the easy ones that he can steamroller? Yep. I’ll give him that one. 1 & 2 don’t strike me as particularly...

The latest Part L requires cavity insulation to extend past the DPC in new builds. I’ve just had to do it in my extension (in Wales).

If you’re sure the valve is shut, you can take off the bowl on the bottom & check the filter. You might get away with giving it a quick scrub over with an old toothbrush to get you going temporarily.

Ours do the same, but it has to be hammering down - which it quite often is here in Wales in our ‘exposed coastal location’ (as the BCO is keen to keep reminding me)

Completely agree Stevie. Just trying to come up with a reason why they might have done it that way - correctly, or incorrectly.

Because the bottom of the retaining wall is the ‘natural’ ground level? If your retaining wall was built and backfilled it could be argued it gives you an artificial ground level. Anyone looking to circumvent the height restrictions when building could just pile a load of spoil up and go “I’m...

Yep, thats what I meant. A nice bit of 20mm.

I tile backer boarded my reveals and plastered straight over the top. Took ages to dry, but Ok a few years later. You could get away with something thicker than 6mm then.

The brick work that the RSJ sits on won’t be perfectly level, so some steel packers underneath to get everything level isn’t unusual. Ideally the thickness of the welded plate plus any packers would be less than 10mm (the usual thickness of a mortar bed) so it would be invisible. I think...

Is being a rapist, but not a convicted rapist Ok? Time and again on these boards we get the same point “but he’s not a ‘convicted’ rapist”. Why not save the pedantry for oxford comma’s, or using the correct ‘there, their, they’re’. Nit-picking over what sort of rapist someone is is a little...

I think it’s still possible. Leave the nuts on the stud just loose enough so that you can spin the stud as you insert it. Although if you’re using enough resin for it to extrude out of the hole, I’d disagree that a twist is essential to fully encase the stud. And you’ve got extruded resin to...

I’d have bolted the stud to the bracket with a nut either side. That would have held the stud square to the hole in the bracket. Slide it into the holes wait for the resin to set and unbolt. You still need to drill the holes fairly accurately.

I think you’re going to want something thicker than 9mm if your relying on that, rather than noggins, to hold the wall cabinets up.

I’ve got no problem with inheritance tax - despite forking out a six figure sum when my Parents passed away. The first £1M is tax free The person (estate) paying the tax isn’t going to miss it The person receiving the inheritance, never had it, so can’t miss it. You get 60% of everything else...

Got to agree with Rodders. No-one else had mentioned walling the tank in, so why bring it up. And you quoted his post making it look like you had a problem with it. Maybe re-think who needs to be winding necks in.

The Eurocell Forma range is actually an Ecoscape product that I was going to use. For boring reasons I ended up using a near identical product from Envirobuild - Hyperion Slatted Cladding. No issues installing over timber or masonary vertically and considerably (around 40%) cheaper.

Stand down. Nothing’s happening. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqjq9yxkkrvo

Off the aerial still. We’ve had poor reception on and off for a while and thought about getting Freely, but the interface doesn’t get great reviews and it’s still early days. It may be supported by the terrestial TV providers, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to gain traction and be the final...

And I’m happy to pay the extra charges. I’d have paid considerably more to have the work done by a registered Electrician. I don’t understand the point about not having the tools of the trade? That’s why I’m paying the fee - for an Electrician to do the bits that I can’t, with the tools I...

Nope.
