I've got 6 tonnes of type 1 MOT (look at me with all the lingo) arriving this week and just wanted some tips on best ways to get a good base. I'm planning about 4 inches thick compacted - now should I whack it all in, and then compact, or compact in layers? (2 inches at a time maybe) For...

Thanks Thermo - I was sort of hoping you would be one of the people to reply!! What thickness would you suggest of MOT? How do I ask for that at the builders merchant so I don't get laughed at MOT or M.O.T.?!! And then when laying the slabs do I need just enough mortar to stick them down...

I have searched on here and gained a lot of advice - but just wanted to check what approach best for my situation. The soil in the garden is mainly clay but with a bit of a finer topsoil. However there are lots of Oak trees in neighbouring gardens - some quite close to where the patio will...

I had the same problem with my stitches actually - ended up with tweezers and nail scissors doing it myself.

Cheers for the replies. I will try and lube it although it feels more mechanically stuck that friction(ally) stuck. It's a very thin gap between door and frame so not sure if can cut with anyything much!! Cheers

My back door is locked shut and I can't turn the key - it feels like the lock mechanism is jammed tight - I can get the key in and turn in the direction that would lock it, but won't move a millimetre un the direction to unlock. It's a mortice lock (with a chubb type key?) and the door is...

breezers account matches my experiences to the letter. Wife is a hair dresser so I made her do the shaving!!! I had mine done last thing on a Friday so back to work Monday (self employed time = money) - have to sit down all day which would have been made a tiny bit easier with a softer...

Mine was free as well - although my bro-in-law paid for his a few years previous. It seemed that the surgery in question had a budget for them for the year so as long as you got in before it had run out it was gratis.

It's a piece of cake - had it done on the Friday afternoon and was reassured of "it" being fully functional by the Sunday evening :) It's a bizarre sensation - sort of a tugging - not painful though.

That's what I'm saying - no I wouldn't want one near me and yes I do (need to?) use a mobile - so maybe I am a hypocrite. However there are lots of other non-essential (OK sewage is fairly essential) things that we use and there are consequences - and most of us wouldn't want the consequences on...

Behave - presumably you take a dump every now and again so can i build a sewage treatment plant in your back garden?

I'm a very young 32 :D and in Argos the other day I purchased something for £59.99. I handed over 3 £20 notes to the snotty pimple faced oik behind the counter who duly took it off me and filed it away in his cash drawer with a grunt. I said "wheres my 1p then?" and he huffed and puffed and...

Agreed - they are class - get Hot Fuss as well - full of absolute anthems... Razorlights new album is also top drawer.

THis question was asked by me because I'm having my kitchen floor redone which was bodged up by the insurance companies appointed contractors. The area under the washing machine - it's integrated and on a timber plinth - their contractors had screwed down the 1inch plinth with 3 inch screws...

Cheers Jason!!

I have searched and although there are loads of threads about tiling etc over timber I couldn't find a specific answer for what I am looking for. I've ordered the 12mm WBP ply to go over what I think is 18mm chipboard (the greeny coloured stuff - I know it's chipboard just not the definite...

Fair play I'll have to admit to being wrong on that one - but I still doubt it was a "silly stunt" and rather a highly organised and well run event - which is probably the only reason he is alive now. Yes he knew the risks of the "job" up front but it was an accident - I doubt he was pratting...

If one of the sparks gets electrocuted, or a gas fitter blows himself to kingdom come can we be as unsympathetic then? After all it's only a matter of time.... Even when it looks like they are pratting about on that show I'm pretty sure it's all under controlled conditions - they just like to...

Weren't both planes completely "absorbed" as it were by the WTC towers - i.e it didn't come out of the other side and I presume disintegrated pretty well. The other pictures where there were remnants were of normal planes crashes - i.e. accidents where I presume that the pilots did as much as...

It's done by "Google Bombing" - if loads of people link to a certain page and put a term in the actual link text Google will assume that's what the page is about.
