If the window is high enough why not a half height wall.

152x152x23kg - 4m span. Yes they're not as tall as beams. They come in "heavier" sizes so you should be able to use that section.

Mines exactly like that. The SE said get a square plate welded on the ends and bolt them together. Fortunately my local steel place had two columns with plates already welded on so I grabbed them. At the outer ends if you chop out the wall plate they might just fit without interfering with the...

Of course, but tiny amounts - which he has. My caravan must be old - stove lit with match, fridge piezo, trauma heater I think has a 9v battery but yes, the blown air operation and water pump needs a bit of juice (it's too new for an old foot pump although I have considered fitting one). I was...

That could be true, but you'd think he'd have a pipe bender and a longer length of copper pipe to attempt to reduce the number of concealed fittings.

Caravan and motorhome people tend to have more money than sense and throw thousands at huge power setups that seem to serve little purpose other than running a stinky air fryer and giving them bragging rights on the internet. Unless you want to do the same, you'd be better with an LPG setup for...

Do you really want to ask them to try to solder those joints when they clearly can't? They'll probably be ok if you're confident that they're all fully pushed in - let's hope they're experienced push fitters.

Maybe consider a ceiling mount.

As another amateur, if the existing joists aren't in danger of shearing at the ends, surely the sisters are just to reduce deflection mid span so don't need to bear on the walls, although it looks easy enough to notch one end into the rsj.

Not the flags - that's a DIY job. If you want recycled (crushed concrete/bricks/road planings) by the lorry load try Holroyds. If you ask nicely they might reverse slowly with the back up to spread it a bit for you.

They're hard work. I have a decent trailer and I've got a fair few on Freecycle where people have tried to collect 30 in a Ford Fiesta with the seats down. The old 3" granite ones are killers.

Few hundred used 3x2 concrete paving slabs will do it if you have the time to wait for them to come up locally and transport to collect them.

Should have made it sloppy and chucked a load of old bricks in it.

You would be able to trim another section of cill to go over it, but you'll need to establish where the drainage is to ensure it is maintained.

It was a loose cable in the shower.

It's all fully sealed and everything is done through the front flush panel - apart from the idiocy of the cold water inlet and isolation valve on one of mine being outside the cistern - so impossible to access once tiled in. I pulled the whole lot inside the cistern.

My Miele is hot feed (though obviously still has a heater if you want to connect to cold). It's full of all sorts of fancy stuff and I believe it does things like extracts any excess heat from the water to use in the drying cycle etc. We have an unvented cylinder with a direct pipe to the...

150/200mm of pir laid on the boarding with hardboard or thin ply on top.

Don't know what the layout of the rest is but you could just run some timber beams across from gable to spine wall and hang joists from them.

If you're doing it yourself to save money then easifill etc as stated above. If you're going to get someone in to skim it you may be better getting them to do the boarding as well - it's physically hard work (for you, but a plasterer and labourer will knock it out in no time). - they will deal...
