How I keep water constantly on the source while working alone? So walls and plaster use a vac I guess. Water can't be used

Anyway, whatever the stats- asbestos, hardwood, silicosis kill. Will the ffp 3 mask help a lot? I definitely don't think they're 100% but I guess even if a bit of dust still gets in they must reduce contact with this dust and that's got to be good. Any advice on masks or dealing with these...

this the dangerous stuff

Is there anything bad in the picture I am taking tiles out? Anything in plaster on brickwork or that hessian pipe wrap on shower pipe, isn't asbestos?

Was knocking down tiles in a bathroom and there was dust everywhere. Wore a rubber filter mask but still had a bad throat for a week. How do you know if its asbestos your drilling into? I heard pipe lagging is the worst what does that look like? A builder wants me to help take up...

The guy at Screwfix said these two in a pack were popular. Only £10. The really wide fatmax ones were £24. Did I make the right choice. Also, always been curious, when people bend the tape when for example measuring te height of a door. Where on that bend do they read the exact measurement?

What about fallen dead trees which are now logs on ground and obviously have been for years, do they have tpos on them?

The chap in flats. I was told a number like 68 for tpos so presume not all trees have them. I did lop off some annoying branches though which are in the way of path that was a small tree so probably ok. I cut a bigger branches with handsaw off small or medium tree think most branches were dead...

I will. The guy in flats wants to see the soil that's why raking up leaves. Just a general question but do logs lieing on floor have tpos if I want to chainsaw them up or small trees like rhodies have tpos?

Dont want to ruin the front lawn with a ton of weight on front grass. They will drop off the sand and cement in ton bags. Is it best to put down some ply or scaffold planks first? The concrete path is being laid in the back garden so the cement and sand will be wheelbarrowed around on...

Sure, but do they have tpos? There are leaves and dead branches everywhere. The paths are blocked from branches

Nightmare, how would you know for sure? Which ones you talking about in particular? I assume I would need to put some baton in the wall with plugs. Is boxing in difficult and with plasterboard on last one?

Not sure the longterm plans but for now clearing it up. I've looked for training but it's hard to find. At the very least get all the right ppe and get an experienced friend to show me.

What about one or two small branches some dead taken off with loppers or small saw off small tree like rhodendron? No common sense with council people. Surely they don't photo every small tree and would be able to prove who cut a few small branches I guess the tpo trees would be the bigger...

Need to clear this woodland area. Got tpo on lots of trees, dead logs and branches everywhere. Where to start? Rent a chainsaw for logs etc? I heard they run through the safety when u hire. Been raking up leaves and small twigs then dragging into pile for a guy to take away. The original...

Want to box these pipes in, is basically drilling baton to the wall then screwing ply or mdf cut to size with circular saw? There won't be any pipes or electrics will there? The bottom pipes (around door needs to have plasterboard, is that just scored with a Stanley knife then screwed to baton

Are fatmax measures the best? They seem to bend nicer than the thinner ones. With spirit level you, worth getting a four foot as well as my two footer?

I guess it's hard to get old tiles off without taking the plaster off and consequently having to replaster. I used a mask most of time but still had bloody snot and a cough all day today. Used a filter mask

Been using my sds drill on hammer setting. Worry that after drilling in the. N levering the tiles off will damage the chuck. There was no chance saving the plaster in this bathroom. Was trying to drill in or hammer a bolster in from side, I guess that's the best way?

Want to replace some blown windows so have been practicing on some old ones from the dump. I hammered into the grooves with a sharp scrapper thing and eventually got the glass out. Chipped the pvc a bit and it wasn't easy. The rubber seal came out too and I couldn't put that back properly...
