Birdsmouth, thanks that made the Google easier. I'd come to the conclusion it would be easier to notch the rafter rather than the beam.

Hi, Will be putting up a pergola style roof shortly and that will entail notching out the beams for the rafters. Lots of YouTube videos showing how to make a straight notch if the roof is flat, but mine will start at 8 foot and drop to around 7 over the space of a 1m. How can I successfully...

Hi, I'm building an outdoor kitchen and will put a Pergola style roof over it, either using wiggly tin or perspex. However how well do you think the uprights need to be supported/how large? The span between posts will be circa 3600mm, so pretty large, with 300mm cantilever either end...

Right I see, it's the first spur cable that could potentially be overloaded to 39a. Failed to realise that. Cheers

I suspected as much. Currently its on a 32a mcb. I realise the fcu is there to protect the sockets from this point on but in reality is it not the same?. The first socket is on 2.5mm cable and protected accordingly. Then the branch after that is protected by the 13a. The only difference...

Hi, I have a spurred double socket that I wish to extend out from. I realise that in reality you usually put the Fsu in then spur accordingly, however given I wish to keep the double socket in its current location can I spur off from this to an Fsu thus protecting the circuit from that point...

Its probably only set back about 20mm from the leading edge. Looking at every other door/window in the house it's pretty similar. 75mm would be most of the brick and looking at all the neighbours front doors they are around the 20-40mm mark I'd guess. A mate put the door in a while ago, its...

The DPM was removed when the threshold was made as it was running along this course of bricks

Hi, Some more pics.The bit in front of the carpet needs to be levelled a little to bring it up to the level of the existing screed so I can lay my laminate. It's probably less than 15mm at the tallest and as much as a few mm at the shallowest difference. Yeah probably a mortar bed would...

Here's a pic Then I'm talking about using this stuff under the concrete or not as the case maybe. http://www.wickes.co.uk/Visqueen-Polythene-Damp-Proof-Course-100mm-x-30m/p/226579 To bring it up to level with current floor [/img]

Hi, I've moved my front door so that know I have the bring course on view where I cut the whole out. My question is should I put a strip of DPM along the bring course before I make good the area with concrete? Or would I simply concrete straight on top? When I bricked up the old door I...

Yeah I checked this, and there was a slight depression in the one I took off. This was a brand new hose though already. But I still replaced it with another one (new from the same hose) Maybe it's too tight then? I'll pull it out again and try slacking it off a little maybe. I did it...

Hi, I've put my Dishwasher in a while ago and all seemed fine. No leaks. However I've noticed it has started to drip. So on pulling it out it's simply dripping from the inlet. I tried to nip it up a little but it's still dripping. I've tried it with PTFE and potable water compound but...

Thanks jj. I've not done any checks the machine came with a 2 month warranty so I will call the supplier and return it on the basis of this confirmation. I just wanted to make sure I was not doing anything wrong as I have floor layers coming on Friday to fit that so wanted all appliances in...

Another update.. I think it certainly is the inlet valve. More tests have shown that when I removed the supply hose and reconnected it after also taking off the inlet valve (I did nothing other than remove it take a look) it did not appear to take on water after being left for a few hours...
