Thanks Andy

Hi, I want to fit a shallow incline roof onto my shipping container worshop. I am going to fit joists about every foot spacing going back to the back edge from the front. These will be gradually reducing thickness to achieve the sIlope . I need to fix these to the roof and had thought of using...

Much appreciated. Thanks

Thanks very much for that

Hello, Earlier on today we had a delivery and lorry wheel broke through driveway surface/ hidden concrete cover. I have removed all the broken concrete (about 4 inches thick) and shovelled out loads of sludge from the chamber and am left with what is in attached photos. There is as seen an inlet...

Hello, We have a toilet in upstairs bathroom but it constantly gets blocked. I think that the cistern in photo is about 6 litres ? The waste pipe on outside wall is not at a great angle in fact hardly any angle at all. As seen in second photo the waste pipe is above the front door and not by...

Of course ! Yep that makes sense now. Really appreciate your advice.

Hello, I am fitting some coving on our landing ceiling but as you can see from photo here there is one spot where the ceiling dips down for a very short length .( It is solid over a beam) From experience would it be best to let the coving follow that dip around or cut away the coving so that is...

Hi. I have a ride on mower with a Briggs and Stratton engine. With a fully charged battery and plenty of fuel when I try and start using the starter motor it turns over strongly but won't kick into life. After doing this I can then do one or two pulls manually and it starts. Has anyone got an...

Hi when siting a container do the supporting blocks have to be directly under the corner feet or can they be under the outside "girders" that stretch the length of the container. I ideally want to put them under these girders just inside of the feet. One in each corner just inside feet Thanks

I really appreciate all of your responses and advice, very helpful.

Thanks all of you

Hello, Just wondered if anyone knows how much it would be to get a company to transport a container/ site office in UK. For example Kent to Dorset. Thanks

Thanks for advice all. I want the container to be as close to ground level as possible and raising up onto sleepers would make too high.

Thanks for advice. I will probably just go for the fill with concrete option. Do you think 12" deep will be enough. How long would concrete need to set sufficiently ?

Hello, I am going to be using a site office as added space to my existing workshop. It is 20ft X 8ft and I've been told weighs about 2 tons. As you will know all of the weight it put on the four corner feet and nowhere else to stop rusting or water ingress. I have some old sleepers ( 6 inches...

Hello, My son has an Oset 20 electric trial bike that runs off 4 x 12v lead acid batteries. Great little bike but doesn't last long on acid batteries. I know many people have used lithium batteries on these for much longer run time and they are lighter. My question is per title . A lithium...

Thanks for your response, appreciated. I know that the DC cable can be connected to key switch ( R for regulator) to charge battery once it is turned on and while engine is running but can it be connected straight to positive terminal on battery instead ? Also does the rectifier normally have a...

Hello, I have a two wire Briggs and Stratton rectifier as shown in photo that converts AC power from the alternator to dc to charge battery while the engine is running. The 11.5 hp Briggs and Stratton engine has one wire coming from the alternator. Can someone tell me please which wire ( yellow...
