This sounds like fun. Is there enough play in the pipework for you to lay the rad down flat, fill, bleed and then refix? Regards Tet

Not an expert but my understanding and experience of an approved PD Lawful Development Certifiicate is as follows: QUESTION: Can I include the area to the front of my property (up to boundary) in this calculation & also the areas at both sides? My curtilage calculation was expressed as the...

Is this stuff genuinely better than Down Corning 785?

Apologies for trhe hijack

Where is the best (read: cheapest) place to buy wago connectors? I don't mind buying in the tens, but I don't need hundreds Regards Tet

I'm not sure if this belongs here or somewhere else as there are Insulation, electrical, ventilation, aesthetic and other considerations all rolled in. This is the layout (subject to planning approval) and this my idea to remedy the uninsulated original building: The UFH is already done...

That would be an early IKEA hangemhi Regards Tet

How can an inanimate object retain and spontaneously transmit unmeasurable energies? This is so ridiculous that it's misaligned my charkras. Now what am I supposed to do? Regards Tet

I'm 58 and last year I shifted 6.5 tons (8 bulk bags) of MOT about 20m up an inclined drive in less than six hours on my own. My biggest impediment was getting the stuff out of the bags into the wheel barrow. I wanted to keep the bags but ended up cutting them open to expose the MOT. Once you...

I'm planning to eliminate all window boards and replace with quartz. You can get offcuts at a reasonable price and there are no knot or moisture problems to worry about. In my experience all wooden boards get damaged and/or discolour - in my previous house I oiled and stained either hardwood...

25 part-completed - that sounds about right!! Mrs Tet says "only 25? - you sure you two aren't related?" eBay repotting. That might just work.......that's what I need, another project Regards Tet

Has anyone built their own gabion baskets I'm looking to build a gabion wall 2m x 0.8m x 0.3m (HxWxD) to fill a gap. I was wondering what the most cost-effective method of making this was. It would appear that many of the ready made baskets are supplied flat packed and are virtually diy anyway...

Err.....yes, exactly that. I fully accept that it may appear weird but I don't mind buying excess solid materials, whether flat or linear as they are permanent and (mostly) find a use somewhere down the road. The smooth side of the ply sheets would/will make an excellent workbench surface for...

About 77% I needed to replace the trailer bed and I found some 12mm Phenolic Ply on FB Marketplace. I only needed one 8x4 sheet for the trailer but ended up buying three for £90, which is an absolute bargain Regards Tet

You don't necessarily have to glue it down. Fitting these or similar round the perimeter will hold it in place perfectly adequately. https://www.drainagesuperstore.co.uk/product/classicbond-epdm-gutter-trim-upvc-gutter-drip-25m-length.html Regards Tet

I've just bought some 12mm Phenolic Ply to replace the (9mm) floor of my trailer that had split after I dropped a massive lump of concrete on it - oops I need to cut the 8x4 sheet that I've bought in order to fit the trailer bed, but I don't know how best to treat the new exposed edges. There...

I installed a wood burning stove and would recommend having as much space around it as you can. Tools and wood storage for instance. Aesthetically I think it is nice if the gap around the stove is proportional and as even as possible. Our stove is 800x650 and sits inside a 1700x1200 opening...

Exactly, Covering an EPDM roof with stones used to be a recommended installation method. Loose lay EPDM, glued at the edges and weighted down by stones. I'm suggesting you putting decorative light-coloured stones on top of your EPDM roof to get the light reflectivity you requested. IMO trying...

They recommend stones anyway so using white ones would be a good solution - especially if there's an upstand. I used an angle trim with holes in as a edging strip that held back stones quite succesfully where the flat roof drained into the gutter. Regards Tet

I wish to replace a staircase that runs up between two solid walls. The original staircase looks like a bog-standard (for then) 3ft width and it has been padded along its length to fill the 960mm gap between the walls. This has led to a clumsy patching of the gap with some painted wood on the...
