Ok DIY guys, I now have 6 tonne of sand on my driveway so how much cement do i need for a 1 to 4 screed? I don't know how to calculate the cement as the density is different. This is how I calculated the sand. Length = 5.5 m Width = 5.3 m Depth = 75 mm Area = 29.15 m2 Volume = 2.18625...

Oh no, I have bought this already? will it give off fumes/smells continuously in the long term or just whilst painting it?

Will be cleaning it today using these two products? Would these be ok? This to clean http://www.wickes.co.uk/Cleaners+Meths/Fungicidal-Wash/invt/600297 and this to preserve? http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wood-Preservers/Shed-and-Fence-Preserver/invt/170468 Then plans are to insulate...

Its just my shuttering ply is becomming damaged the longer I leave it and I dont have time to clean it off myelf. I canot get hold of the builder and a friend of mine (who knows a 3rd brother of this builder who does not speak to these two borthers that are doing my work) told me a few hours...

No, I thought the steel beam would be ideal. Where would the frame go and would I have to make it or can you buy it? Also, would I have to dig it and secure it into my floor? But i dont think it wold look as nice? Tony

I was actually going to fix them directly onto the beam by drilling into it and using bolts for a ceiling hook? Do you think it is better on the joists?

Hi, My builder has not been to work for 17 days now and the roof is getting more fungus each day due to him using propane inside and making condensation. And he has not finished all the works as per the contract I made with him. Please see my post below which shows pics of the damage and...

Thanks for that. But does it have to be in a safe manor or in small bags? The sacks the builder made with my sheets are real heavy and will take two men to lift them. Theres about 10 of them.

Hi, Hi had an asbestos roof and had this removed from a builder I found through a 'so called' friend! I bought him the appropriate plastic sheet material and duct tape so that he could individually wrap each sheet seperately. BUT..... When I got home from work i found out he SMASHED the...

Hi again, Im not sure if any of you guys are clued up on this type of thing but I have also put some pics and weights below of the bags i intend to hang if this helps you. I am now moving the speed ball which i mentioned above (as this is light) onto one of the joists coming off perpendicular to...
