Unfortunately my budget doesn't stretch that far :( The Mrs wants these or should I say ordered these. http://www.screwfix.com/p/jeld-wen-slide-fold-patio-door-set-oak-veneer-2394-x-2094mm/6345f

At present I have a set of 2400 x 2350 aluminium sliding doors which are to be replaced with a set of timber 2400 x 2090 bifold doors. Due to the height difference I can not fix to the existing beam above so I was intending to bridge the gap needed by fixing a 2400mm timber to the bulkhead...

That what happens when the Mrs helps you out! The paint used was that Dulux Paintpod....Had great success in the past even applied without the machine, however this time not so good. The paint has a hardening agent to firm the paint up, to achieve a plastered finish. Here lies the problem as...

...Not really as the paint was silk instead of my proposed Matt finish, I should of used a fine roller instead of a normal 'screwfix special' roller which may of contributed also. Wouldn't paying a plaster to skim the whole wall be the same principal as easi filling (without the hassle of...

Right where do I start. I recently purchased a new home with my wife and had the task of undertaking the renovations myself to keep the costs down. I built a new stud wall to house the T.V and bio fuel fire, taped the joints and Gyproc Easi filled where needed. I mist coated the filler...

What mix did you use to cast your padstone? I need to cast 750 x 750 x 300 gen3

Thanks no seal. Would this be the same mix as a padstone? I was requested by the structural engineer to fit a 750 x 750 x 300 padstone in the ground for a vertical beam to bolt to. The building control officer mentioned to dig down to foundation level and then arrange another appointment so...

Thanks for the info. I have just dug down on one section of the wall, ended up digging 600mm until I hit the foundation. I would say the foundation overhangs the engineering bricks (sticks out) approx 150mm. So in theory I have a wall 120mm, cavity 70mm and wall 120mm totalling 340, with an...

The horizontal steels are to be supported by a 150 x 200 x 600 pads stone fixed into the wall on one side and welded to a vertical column on the other. However the vertical column is to be bolted to a pad stone in the floor measuring 750 x 750 x 300. The building inspector has informed me to dig...

Right......... I am in the process of ordering steels as I am about to knock through an existing wall. At present this external wall leads onto a flat roof extension via a door, the plan is to open this are up fully. I have had the calcs done for the steels which are fine. Now, my problem...

Hi all, Can someone please tell me what ratio mix I need to cast a 750 x 750 x 300 padstone/foundation stone. I have been quoted £300 for a company to cast it for me......Seems a little pricey I say. I understand the mix would be cement, sand and aggregate, but to what mix??? :?: Cheers

Hi all, Not sure If I have posted this in the correct forum, apologies if I haven't Right..... I live in a terraced house and my external wall which is connected to my neighbour has a problem. The paint peels straight form the wall :( and also there is a sandy texture appearing, which is...

My Ferroli Falcon boiler has been playing up. I have had a new pressure release valve fitted after a problem with loss in pressure. That was roughly 2 months ago. Recently I have been experiencing lock out problems which means I need to reset the boiler. This works fine for a day or two but...

Hi, At first I noticed that the no pilot light was on. No problem rest the boiler via the switch and all was well. All of a sudden I checked the boiler and NO lights are on. I ran the hot water, but no pilot light. My timer display is on so power is still running to this part of the unit but...

Cheers Davebgas, I will give it a bash this evening.

Hi, My Feroli Falcon Combi boiler has been playing up. My neighbour noticed that the over flow was pouring with water. I checked the water pressure and the reading was about 3 bar :shock: When I got back from work I turned off the mains water and drained the whole system. I then...
