I would notch out those studs. If you do it low down it won't affect the rigidity of the wall. If you're not familiar with solvent weld use a decent branded compression elbow. Decide how and at what height you're going to connect to the stack (I think Macalpine do a pretty good mechanical boss...

I think you'd be best with a simple two part ramp with a fixed (for the duration of the visits) section on your property and a section that could be pulled out onto the road for a few minutes when required. Total length about 4.5- 5m long, constructed of marine plywood with 3x2 supports -...

Can't see why you'd replace any of that.

Have you left a 50mm ventilation gap above that rafter insulation?

If this is for your off grid cabin you might be better with a modern battery system like eufy - you would just need to power the hub and a 4/5g router.

The wall boards or plaster will support the ends of the ceiling boards - you don't need bits of wood.

I think I'd just do it curved.

Not sure I'd attempt hours of hard sanding with a battery tool but I've never tried.

It's probably 20-1 concrete mixed with mud and stones - what've got in your shed? Decent SDS, pickaxe, sledge hammer etc, find the heftiest thing and give it a try. If you get nowhere then work up. When we subbed for a tarmac contractor we would start with his power pack and then hire a big...

If the window is high enough why not a half height wall.

152x152x23kg - 4m span. Yes they're not as tall as beams. They come in "heavier" sizes so you should be able to use that section.

Mines exactly like that. The SE said get a square plate welded on the ends and bolt them together. Fortunately my local steel place had two columns with plates already welded on so I grabbed them. At the outer ends if you chop out the wall plate they might just fit without interfering with the...

Of course, but tiny amounts - which he has. My caravan must be old - stove lit with match, fridge piezo, trauma heater I think has a 9v battery but yes, the blown air operation and water pump needs a bit of juice (it's too new for an old foot pump although I have considered fitting one). I was...

That could be true, but you'd think he'd have a pipe bender and a longer length of copper pipe to attempt to reduce the number of concealed fittings.

Caravan and motorhome people tend to have more money than sense and throw thousands at huge power setups that seem to serve little purpose other than running a stinky air fryer and giving them bragging rights on the internet. Unless you want to do the same, you'd be better with an LPG setup for...

Do you really want to ask them to try to solder those joints when they clearly can't? They'll probably be ok if you're confident that they're all fully pushed in - let's hope they're experienced push fitters.

Maybe consider a ceiling mount.

As another amateur, if the existing joists aren't in danger of shearing at the ends, surely the sisters are just to reduce deflection mid span so don't need to bear on the walls, although it looks easy enough to notch one end into the rsj.

Not the flags - that's a DIY job. If you want recycled (crushed concrete/bricks/road planings) by the lorry load try Holroyds. If you ask nicely they might reverse slowly with the back up to spread it a bit for you.

They're hard work. I have a decent trailer and I've got a fair few on Freecycle where people have tried to collect 30 in a Ford Fiesta with the seats down. The old 3" granite ones are killers.
