I am looking to put acoustic slatted panels on this wall and as part of that, want to adjust the socket in the bottom right. I want to extend this ring and have a socket behind the tv cabinet and then, another socket behind the TV. I am comfortable with extending the ring and the new back...

Getting around to this now… Would hollow soffit boards be okay for the sides that are not visible? I will be wrapping the studs with osb and breathable membrane. Should I batten on top and then fix these boards or pin them straight in to the membrane and osb board? Thought they may be flimsy if...

I’m fitting acoustic wall panels and the wall has a socket and switch. I’d like to mount these on the surface of the panels. This will hide the cut edges of the panels and make the job look neater. They are currently in a metal box sunk in the wall. Can you please suggest how this can be...

It’s one of these type of panel walls that I’m building. No plans to remove once it’s up.

I've got some of these to put up and wanted to check on your preferred method. I've seen some that have just used glue whereas others have used drywall screws in the black sections of these panels. I am fixing on to a plastered wall. Thanks in advance.

I've seen a few on there and they are either immobile or require a lot of storage space. Both are a concern for me. Please share any links for the bench you had in mind. Perhaps a platform that is built and then used on saw horses (which I don't currently own) could work?

I have a Makita MLS 100 and May at some point upgrade to a sliding version. I currently place it in the floor every time I want to use it and then have to figure out how I keep studs and skirting level when I place the cut. I usually pack the furthest end of the timber with some offcuts to bring...

I saw some videos online where they are using CT1 to seal suspected leaks along the glass and framing. Does that work in your opinion?

I've placed an order for the Knipex Cobra ES 180 :) Thanks for your comments.

Is the Knipex Cobra or the new ES ones you guys are using/recommending?

I am in the market for a new set of grips. I only work on residential systems - mainly 15mm and 22mm fittings. I already own a bahco adjustable spanner. I've had bahco, rothenberger and Knipex suggested to me. Can I please get your view on what you guys use on a daily basis and also is the...

I went in the loft over the weekend and had a good look and sniff around. I don't see any nibbling or additional droppings. I thought it would be wise to put something up there as a precaution

did you have a certain type of mesh in mind? Sorry, not had any involvement with this type of thing previously.

Wow! Similar to that video, I have a vent like this for my kitchen extractor. How do I make this rat/mice proof?

If I use 4x2s for the roof rafters, what can I use for fascia? Please let me know if there is a solution for this.

Thanks for all the responses. Let me try and answer them here. Cats - I’m working on that. More convincing to do ;) I’ve seen some droppings in the loft. My LA doesn’t offer any pest services. They refer us to local companies. I also live in the countryside and we back into some fields...

I suspect that I have mouse in my loft. I’ve come across some multi-kill traps that are connected to an app. This would save me having to get up there and check regularly. Has anyone used these and provide some advice on this please.

I don’t think the sheds do 3x2 as treated timbers?

I’d welcome any suggestions on this please.

I could stick it in the garage for a couple of weeks before I use it, if that helps? I suppose it will still get during the build.
