    Raising a patio...and chickens!

    all slabs and patios should have a slight fall away from a property so water runs away from your house foundations! I would lift the slabs and then put down a suitable hard core base such as MOT1, compact this and then relay the slabs on a bed of mortar to give you a slight fall away from...

    Concrete pad for shed

    Ideally yes, or else the wood forms will rot over the years and his will cause a void where they have been placed, I would leave a small gap to get the boards out and then fill that gap with concrete to the correct level while the concrete is still green.

    Potential Side Access

    Why not talk to your neighbor about a shared access from his or her property, you could take out the first fence panel at the front of your extension and then half way down the side of the extension, where it widens out, make two gateways one for the neighbor and one for you, this would be a...

    Lifting A Shed

    To be honest I wouldn't attempt lifting it on my own, you should have someone to assist you at least, one to lift and the other to chock the shed as you go. I would start with a fairly long crowbar levering it up one side at a time and then place the timber under in stages or if you are using...

    In the market for a workshop.

    Yep I would build my own, this way you will have the control over the quality of the timber and the build, a workshop of that dimensions being offered for a grand would be of low quality timber as they would want to maximize their profit margin!

    neighbours decking

    Well personally I think if you have a problem with a neighbour then its always best to approach them first and try and resolve a situation, however not all neighbours are of the same mind and some have a "so what, tough ****" attitude and you just cant talk to some people. If the decking is...

I wouldn't...

    used motor oil on fence panels - crazy or not?

    Creosote is a mixture of chemicals prepared by the distillation of coal tar and contains chemicals which are probable carcinogens and skin and respiratory irritants. Although I used to like the smell of creosoted wood LOL it was phased out by the nutters of the EEC in 2003 for DIY use, I dont...

    New Shed Room Leaking?

    If I remember rightly you posted on here about this project a few months ago as you asked for advice after the builder told you that he was going to leave one wall standing as he could not knock it down because of something to do with the neighbour. I advised you then that I didn't think this...
