5lt can is OK but have 2 on the go at least. I have 3 but I also have loads of other petrol kit that I use frequently. The other issue is that many petrol stations don't let you fill up more than 2 at once which means you have to go to 2 petrol stations or just keep them on rotation.

I've had bonfires, incinerators and heavy duty shredders and they all have pros and cons. 1. Shredder - the only thing that's worth it here is one of the industrial shredders £2k+. Anything else is just good for the lightest of privet. After chipping shredding you're still left with a load of...

Just a note on that - I bought one of these Makita Shredders - - cost about £750 I think and even that was pretty crap. Couldn't handle much over 1" in diameter only the small stuff - so shredders are great if you just stick a bit of privet through but anything else you need to be thinking of...

Don't underestimate the quality of the tools you'll need - so don't scrimp if you can afford it because you will end up buying twice like I did! We have a large garden and I've built up my kit over the last 10 years. I started with Ryobi kit and it's OK for a little while but everything I...

Ive tried calling the tech guy at onduline but I'm still waiting for a return call so I'll ask here. I want to install these panels on a 5 degree 4m x 3.6m pent roof. I'll board with 18mm OSB and cover with breathable membrane. I've seen that I need a 300mm overlap and two corrugations with 30...

If you've not already been there, have a look over at www.avforums.com - specifically this section - https://www.avforums.com/forums/home-cinema-buying-building.246/ From what I've seen, those boys always build a frame over the chimney breast which I'd assume allows for easy access of cables...

I think you'd get away with just one as long as you're careful. You won't be able to move it once it's been set up properly.

I think the single wall catnic is the way to go - thanks.

Trust me - curved would go completely against the design.

I think stretchers rather than soldiers would be better. I did think about an arch but the design of the fireplace is quite angular so a curve wouldn't look right. The bricks will be visible afterwards.

anyone?

What do I need for a 1200mm opening (150mm bearings) to take a solider course? Should I just use a catnic type single wall lintel or can I just use a steel L angle? If so what thickness is usual? Its taking the brickwork up the chimney breast to first floor level.

Again, good advice thanks.

Brill, thanks.

I've some solid bricks from an old garage that I wanted to use in another garden building. I wanted to use some of them in the floor but how should I clean them? Do I do it once they're down or do I have to do it before I lay them? The photo gives you an idea of them although the rest still...

I have a section of garden that runs down in one corner about 600mm over about 2000mm. I want to pave the area and then have a 100mm concrete base to build a timber shed on. The concrete base will be in the area that the garden slopes the most. What options do I have? Can I just chuck a load...

*burp!*

I've eaten bigger for breakfast!

I've got plenty more to add to that list but it seems I'm already making you feel a touch inadequate. Some people do, others sit on a forum and tell others what to do......

Tosh. A good builder can and does work from building regs drawings. The builder can then provide a performance contract with the client. You don't let the architects dictate your performance do you? No, I doubt it. In fact I very much doubt it - you can't take another perspective from folks on...
