    Fireplace constructional hearth

    Is it actually damp down there? Against a party wall or an external wall? You'll likely have no problems without dpm, you could just screed on top of what's there.

    Dunno about arresting them. They should give them time off for services to the community.

    Murder is murder, I don't see that there should be a hierarchy of acceptability when it comes to taking a life. One of the 3 accused, was inside for strangling his 56 year old female neighbour for £60, he later went on to sue the government for compensation after another prisoner attacked him...

    Dunno about arresting them. They should give them time off for services to the community.

    What if it was an adult friend that was murdered, would you want to do the same thing to them? Or because they killed an adult would they get a more lenient type of punishment, 20 years and a kick in the nuts? ...and where are these 'normal' posters that you speak of?

    Judging by recent events, the criminals themselves, something that you applaud.

    I find it quite amusing that a lot of the anti Muslims on here are advocating for Sharia law.

    Quote for a new guttering and fixing of facia

    No scaffolding involved? What are they using, jetpacks? Once he starts work he'll say, "oh it's trickier than we thought, we'll need scaffolding, that's another £6000 please"

    thinnest subfloor on market? can you lay eng wood floor direct to joists thanks

    You could get fiddly, and fit your structural floor between the joists on battens, maybe leave it 2mm proud of the joists to account for movement. But bear in mind, joists are supposed to be fitted with the idea that they will have floorboards or sheets mechanically fixed to them. What are the...

    Formwork to allow fence post shoes close to wall

    You don't need as much fall as the photo suggests. I agree with using the short side. 15mm will be enough if you get it flat.

    Formwork to allow fence post shoes close to wall

    A bit confusing. Anyway, you definitely don't want the post shoe in the firing line of the downpipe shoe. You should form an aco drain against the wall, bury a gully into a 100mm pipe or extend the pipe down into the garden area to the left. Fence right against the wall isn't a great idea...

    Can SBR be used as a vapour barrier?

    What's the condition of the old felt? You could use foil backed plasterboard or a continuous polythene sheet, sold as 'vapour barrier' Steve Roofer on YouTube has a video about sealing round downlights, you box them in with a foiled taped box.

    Clio fuel pipe repair?

    I've got some 8mm hose, so that's probably the cheapest option, steel pipe as an insert to prevent crushing. I had toyed with the idea of replacing the pipe for moderate cost, but there are several variations of this pipe for various models, online info isn't great, the reg is too old to be...

    Can I convert my current flat roof to a warm roof?

    What you propose will mean raising the height of the roof, any rooflights will have to be removed and raised up on new upstands. Then there's any existing flashing details at abutments to consider, as well as making sure any insulation in the walls is extended upwards to meet the new roof...

    Clio fuel pipe repair?

    I'm not sure what these repair kits look like? I've looked at double ended barbed connectors, but there's a 55mm gap to bridge, and they aren't long enough. The pipe is 6mmID/8mmOD, I did wonder if a brass 8mm compression joint and a bit of microbore pipe would work. I've found that...

    Clio fuel pipe repair?

    Looks like rodents have been at the fuel pipe under the car, have cut out a 2" section in the hope of being able to repair it somehow, it's a hard plastic pipe instead of rubber, so not sure how reliable it would be to bridge it with steel tube and clamps?
