Have you thought about P5 chipboard flooring sheets. The 18mm ones would be sturdy and moisture resistant too.

You could make a nice step that curves around the door in a half moon shape running just under the doors but over the sill. Do sort of the same thing to cover the slope and put planters on it.

Got a Giant Talon 0 29er with dropper post. Upgraded the Disc's to 200mm and Shimano XT M8000 I-Spec II Disc Brakes. Been on a few old railway lines where bridges gone so the dropper post handy for steep descents. Rear rack for my Altura Arran 2 46 Panniers ( very nice bags. ) Just dropped...

Nowt worse than not remembering where anything runs with 8 x 2 flooring. lol. Done it myself.

Hi Mark. Well been busy in the garden. J & K beat me to answering with some sound advice as for the stud wall i'd leave it in. Make sure the screws you use are full thread so they grip the p5. As you lay the P5 boards down us a perm black marker and draw on them the layout of any pipework...

Looking spot on Dan. Very impressed with the straight line top. Looks like two volunteers for the paint there too lol.

I feel awful if i get anyone in to do something. I tend to stalk them for the whole time that they are here. It's a shame that you pay a pro to do something and they shatter your confidence in everyone.

Talking of level floor. I must of passed these 2 houses a million times. Each time i do i always want to knock on and see if they live on the left hand slant or have all the floors been corrected inside...

Mark the P5 chipboard will depend on your joist spacings. Check if you need 18mm or 22mm. You can cut the bottom of the door frame with a multi tool to slide the boards under. The issue you have is where the stud wall for the bathroom/Bedroom 2 is fixed on the existing floor. It may not be...

Its so scary what some people will do just to get a job finished. He could of mentioned it before cutting.

It can be smoothed over as it starts to set. Use a piece of timber the width of the opening and pat down when postcrete starts to go off.

A tip for all. If your plumber turns up with an axe don't let him in. So glad it was noticed before finishing.

Hows the fencing going.

Hi There It is quite straight forward if you plan it right and have the right tools. Built a 8 x 4.5 shed myself. Cost me 600 quid but it solid as a rock. The good thing about building yourself is that it is designed and tailored to your exact needs. First sit down and decide what you...

hi Craig Could just fill the hole with postcrete and smooth the top as it sets.

Leave the skirting board on the walls and see if the other half likes any of the Ogee pine architarves. Fix that above the skirting and pin 3mm ply over the two to create a stepped edge at the start of the ogee profile.

Hi there Use 13mm clout nails. In the spot where you going to nail thru the felt put a blob of this stuff on then nail down but don't hammer in so it mashes the felt. The excess that oozes out smear over the nail head. PUT CLINGFILM ON THE HAMMER HEAD TO SAVE CLEANING IT...

Screeding yourself is a good idea and you can check with Kingspan if the tapered roofing insulation is ok for the sub floor. With a couple of these and the normal thickness ones you could save on some of the deep levelling issues. I have been using one of these to do my mortar and concrete...

Have you looked at a resin floor topped with a nice cushioned vinyl ? The resin be watertight and will also level it off nicely too. Friend got a striped cushion vinyl in the kitchen and it looks amazing. Some nice bright colours available and easy to clean up the spills

With the hot weather the posts will dry very quick if been stored in a sheltered place in the depot. Keep them in a shaded area for a couple of days if they arrive wet/damp. The post issue with the pipe not worth the risk hammering in. I'd go for the option you said about wedging in. You...
