    Stove distance to combustibles

    find a hetas or other scheme fitter, ask them for guidance for the donkey work and let them install and certify otherwise your flying blind trying to go the seemingly cheaper route can be the most expensive route as you need to comply with what the person passing the installation deems to be...

    first 3 cuts free can give you loads off strips first cut 3 boards cut in half second 6 strips third another 6 so 12 now what you can actually do will depend on machine capacity [thickness wise ] and the operator being willing to restack the bits but worth a thought

    Seeking advice before I take action on this dodgy shed installation

    can you take a picture at the doorway with the door open showing the about 90-100mm finished concrete to finished floor level ?? i also assume the fixings[nail or screws] are only at 600mm centres and thats the joist spacings ?? also worth checking if the bounce is through dipping rather than...

    Shed build advice

    it doesnt really matter how you do it as long as the end off the felt is say 12mm clear off the timber to shed the water or the felt has to fold under and go uphill so the water drips off the low point

    Shed build advice

    general comments quite impressive the felt at the front should form some sort off drip clear off the doors and internal timbers as it is the water will tend to hang under the timber above the doors as it tracks round the felt as there is no place to fall off what would help is say a 19x38mm or...
