Afternoon sparkies , Im building an office in my garage 50 - 60 meters from the house. I as would be expected want power in the office/garage, but I dont want to dig up the patio or drive/pathway on route to the garage. So can the armoured cable (i've gone for 10mm) be laid on the ground...

Afternoon all. I am building an office in the garage & I'm planning on dot dabing the platerboard to 2x brick walls (other walls are stud so no probs there) The brickwork is single (no cavity) so would it be advisable to coat the wall with synthaproof first, or can I just dot & dab straight on...

I picked up the last 8 panels from a supplier that had a delivery of 25 at 08:30 this morning. Speaking to the driver he seems to think that the enviro agency have cut the quota of timber allowed to be felled & the stuff that is felled gets a better price when sold to the chinese for their...

If your lucky you can slot one end in the post, then using a spade like a shoe horn on the other end and a little gentle perswaysion with a hammer the panel should pop into the slot.

If your not using boards then cut a piece of batten to length and use that to ensure you get the same distance every time. Or remove the weather cap off the top of the panel and use that as you distance marker. As already said use a brickies line from start point to end point to get a...
