    Wonky concrete shed base

    Cheers dextrous, I like the slabs idea (never even entered my head) but the existing concrete slabs (both 4' x 4' in size by the way) are already proud of the surrounding paving / paths. So although good idea it would mean a big step up into the shed and ramp etc (and would look a bit odd...

    Wonky concrete shed base

    Advise please if you will. Having removed an old rotten shed to replace it with a new one I find that the previous owner had cast 2 x 6" deep concrete slabs next to each other which made a base for a 6 x 4 shed. One is perfect (level and square etc) the other has dropped / sunk by 2" at...

    CH boiler in loft - frost protection ?

    I have recently had a Ravenheat 85T condensing boiler fitted in loft, with a hard wired (not the wireless version) Salus RT500 programmable thermostat in the hallway. This thermo operates between 5 and 35deg C and uses 'volt free switching' as advised by Ravenheat. My questions are simple...
