Hmm, why do I get three swear filter stars through my word when there are only two missing letters?

>>>> Don't forget to wrap it well though, and say it is normal concrete panels if they ask. <<<< That might be a bit wreckless as wel as illegal. Do you really want to endanger the life of the poor sods that have to deal with it at the tip. Assuming it's concrete sheets they might run an...

Attach a piece of hardboard to your shelf then with a flush trimming router bit follow the edge of your shelf. This will make the template for you. All you then need to do is set it back the right amount to follow and cut your trench. -Neil

The problem with buying a house that might subside is if you do claim on the insurance then that can make the house very difficult to sell in the future. They allways ask have you ever claimed against buildings insurance for subsidance when you come to sell? I would never buy a house to which...

One small point, if you are doing this for a school / college project shouldn't you have moved over to metric by now? -Neil

Even if it is a combined sewer you might find that the local sewerage board will resist you adding any additional flows into that pipe. -Neil

1 in 16! where do you get that from? We usually design footways to a maximum of 1 in 12 but you can go steeper than that for short lengths. -Neil

Unless you live on a motorway! or trunk road then the Highways agency will have no interest whatsoever. I think that the 1:10 gradient is likley to be because of recent guidelines for disabled access. You may be able to argue residential access doesn't count but I think a lot of new housing...

Hello all, I am looking to buy a 20 year old house but the previous owner who was disabled had a few modifications done by dodgy builders. Firstly they have constructed an access ramp along the side of the house that has bridged the damp proof course. They didn't even place a barrier up...

It sounds like a private drain from what you have said. The costs will have to be bourne by you but it may be under shared ownership for maintenance. Most modern chambers are built with cheap precast concrete rings followed by a precast top slab then a few courses of brickwork to the level of...

If you've removed the bolt now why not cut a slot in the top and use a screw driver to screw it back in. At least you would have a bolt in there at the moment you have nothing. -Neil

The glass beads are to add reflectivity to the line at night time. -Neil

Sorry for jumping in when it's not my thread but, thankyou Dingbat for a sensible and helpfull reply. As a non sparky I have no idea what this might cost it could be £100 or it could be £1000 for all I know. If I was obtaining quotes for a job like that then I would at least like to know an...

My point I was trying to make was are people going to now go running to their local sparky with 200 notes in their hand in order to get an outside PIR light (which has allways been promoted as a security item), or just not bother. I suspect the latter because they didn't really become popular...

I know you're all sick of hearing Part P questions but as a home mover I was wondering about my new house. Does it have an outside light? Does it have a PIR security light round tha back? etc etc. If part P excludes Joe public from doing any wireing in the special case 'outside'. Then...

If the holes are drilled through the center of the joist then they are in the best place as long as they are not too big in relation to the depth of the joist. Notching joists from the top is only acceptable if you are at the edge of a joist span. Notching the top or bottom of a joist in the...
