Thank you namsag. Excellent site and info. 600mm it is then. :wink: Thanks again. John

I posted a reply last night, but it's not here now? It's a Potterton Prima B 40BNG 503096 AHFF 421 0034 Is that enough info? 600mm or 300mm? Thanks. John

Thank you! When do I get to dance naked round a fire? The neighbours weren't pleased with my efforts last Nov 5th. John

How do I join the Broderbond? Does it involve baring any bits I won't show my doctor and having them smeared in axle grease? If so, I'm up for it! I can also speak a foreign language. Not the one chessspy speaks, but I'm willing to go to nightschool. Is Broderbond like Unibond, only more...

Phew! Thanks, Shytalkz, from the pit of my stomach where indigestion starts. I was a bit worried there. Not that I didn't fully appreciate the reply from chessspy, because I did. It was getting my head around concepts I'd not heard of before that was the problem. It's just that my dad's 74...

Thanks, sambotc. My dad's out at the moment, but I'll ring him when he gets back after 9pm. I'll find out and post a reply. I know it's not a round outlet. It's oblong stainless with mesh around the sides. Thanks again. John

Thanks for that, chessspy. I understood some of it. Then, after reading it again, I understood most of it. Now, I'm going to have a pork chop and veg, and I'll digest the rest of your answer for dessert. Give me an hour and it'll have sunk in. :wink: Thank you. John

Damn! I thought I'd covered everything in my description. I don't think it's a balanced flue? (Can you tell I don't know what I'm talking about with gas boilers?) It's 13 years old and the pilot-light blows out when it's windy. He does get it serviced each year by a CORGI lad, so it must be...

Hi! My dad's having a garage built attached to his house. (Apart from bricking, I'm doing the rest.) The flue from the combi boiler in the kitchen is near to one end of the house side wall. The new attached-garage back wall will be built next to this, making the flue sited in a corner. How...

Sorry to break up the party, but I have another question. It's about the RSJ so I don't think I need a new thread? Just seen the brickie. He says the ends should rest on 6" of brick. I said 4" Not that I know better, but I seem to recall being told by the inspector for my extension 6...

Just when I thought it was safe to go back into the water! Hand dig? With my back? Looks like asking the lad doing the footings to scrape the top tarmac and concrete off, then hand dig down. My dad's pockets are getting shallower with every post! Thank you. I think. :wink: John

Shytalkz - Your information was graciously recieved, and your offer of doing the calcs, if needed, was a lot more than I could have hoped for. Thank you. chessspy - You never mentioned which planet you call home? :) Many thanks. John

Hell fire, Shytalkz! You're answering my posts faster than I can edit them! Thank you so much for those measurements. You've made an old man very happy. And my dad. :wink: chesspy - appreciate the encouragement. Thanks all, again. John

Thanks for the replies - Bowness72 - It doesn't ask for anything from an engineer or anyone else on the application form? It doesn't need planning permission, if that makes a difference? Shytalkz - I may be a bit thick on this one, but I didn't understand what you meant? Is it some kind of...

Thanks for the reply. I will take your advice and tell him to buy new, given that I now have a rough figure of £150. I was hoping for a little more help, however, with regards to size. I thought that with all the detailed advice I've sifted through on this site over the years, someone out...

I thought the Building Regs office would have been a tad more helpful! I'm building a single brick garage/workshop attached to the house for my dad. (Well, a brickie's bricking) It's not square, being 12' at the back, 18' at the front and about 24' long. I intend to span the middle with an...

Thanks for the reply. That makes it much better for reducing the volume. Anything over 70 cu m needed planning permission. This kind of fall keeps it within that figure. Thanks again. John :D
