Thanks Thermo, Actually i am not sure if it's our responsibility or the councils? Does anyone know if these drainage gully's are the councils responsibility?

Silicone :D No tried that, in fact not tried anything yet, but sounds easier :) What type would be best? Ideally something that would cure overnight as it takes a lot of traffic. Cheers

Hi, on one section one of the sides has broken away, but they are all loose, there no bolts holding them down, they are just jammed, this is on the entire street. I will re-cement this side. There are no sections on the metal plate for bolts, like you see on some, so i was thinkinf of a small...

Hi all, we have a shared drive (3 houses) and on the edge of the drive to the pavement then road are 5 metal linear drainage channels. (they are all along our street) Now this gets a lot of traffic everyday with vehicles and the metal covers have become loose and one in particular jumps off...

Thanks both! I am ever so cautious with plants as, we seem to kill everything! LoL

Thanks Lorena! So it's ok to do now, even though they have only been in for 5 weeks? Was a bit wary of this in case i killed them! Do i put anything on the open wound (as it were) or leave it? Thanks again!

Hi all, about 5 weeks ago i put 4 established (6ft) red robin trees in the garden. They have really taken off, growing really well. One question i have that's not on the guide that came with them, new branches are growing all the way up the trunk, ideally i want 3 ft of just trunk, otherwise...

Thanks, that pics a bit old, need to get some new ones up :) Doing a few more sketchs :)

I can also recommend the Honda Izy, I have one, well i am selling it soon, as i have tiered my garden so i now use a small electric one. It's the Honda Izy HRG465SD (I think) - I am sure it has variable speed, but not used it for a over a year.

Hi all, here are my drawings, these are using 400 joists and the deck boards staggered into thirds (is this ok to do?) Does this look ok? or is it over engineered LoL Also see the top right hand corner, this is where it will go.

Thanks! Thermo, i bought the boards a while back as they were on offer at the merchants and before i thought out my plants :oops: I agree with the 400 centers, but how would you solve my problem? Do you think stepping it is the way to go, sort of the same way you would lay laminate...

Thanks, 6 x 2 i was going to use, but if you think it's not strong enough, i'll go for 6 x 4? I am in the middle of creating a drawing of each one , i'll post them to get some feed back!

Hi all, i know, i know another decking question :) But search did not bring up anything on what i need. Ok, my decking area is fairly large and on a slop so will be part raised. The dimensions of the area is 4.7 M wide by 6.6 long. I'll be using 4.8M joists (14.5 x 4.5cm) and 2.4 M...

Thanks kevindgas - I'll do that. idealnumber1 - I have been on there website but it's a bit vague, can't see options for the xtrawarm cover. - What does it involve?

Going to have a look at this today, but want to take cover out, so it can get serviced every year - HomeServ seem competitive - Any horror stories with these like the Ideal ones? Thanks

Thanks i'll have a look at the plug! The piping outside is not insulated - I'll take a pic of it if you like. There is a 45 degree bend in it, so would a possible answer be that with the cold weather and maybe some sludge build up at the 45 degree bend it is freezing and the tube is being...

So after reading many threads, looks like i am stuck with this rubbish LoL As it did it just after i started this thread :evil: Ok the simplest thing to do first which in fact you said was to: Take the trap off clean out, preferably using a small screwdriver, flushing won't clear...

Thank you for the quick reply! I'll do a search, i did search but i'll try again :)

Hi all, 8 days ago I noticed the heating had gone off, so checked the boiler and it had the flashing F/L code, after checking the online manual it was a Flame Low warning, so i hit the reset button and all was fine. Now it went off a further 5 times, each time reseting seemed to do the trick and...

Yep, that's what an independent plumber told us about our new build, the amount of cases he has had a few years after the initial warranty runs out on new builds is scary! Also the fact that new builds don't have floor boards which can be easily lift to check, they are glued chip board which...
