    13x11 Metal shed floor board OSB or Plywood?

    I don't work in the shed often, but some days when in the shed, it would be handy to put the camping gas stove on while I am in there. Camping gas stove has advantage in that it is so convenient to put it on, and no smells or smokes, instantly heats up (I have a metal can which works as heat...

    rusty old nails from the pallets

    Yes, metal is a natural resource which could be recycled to turn into something useful. The rusty nails which lie on the ground, drive way or garden path can cause damage to tires of cars or wheelbarrows, so they need to be picked up and cleared from these areas. I have been thinking about...

    13x11 Metal shed floor board OSB or Plywood?

    Good points. Thanks for your info and advice. Some says to go for WBP or external purpose ply for durability. We are going to look for WBP grade ply at least.

    13x11 Metal shed floor board OSB or Plywood?

    It should be ok gas stove is on only when the doors are open for ventilation, and when working in the shed with the doors widely open.

    13x11 Metal shed floor board OSB or Plywood?

    The metal shed will be kept open doors as often as possible for ventilation, and some sort of wood stove or gas stove will be running in the shed to dry out the space. Also planning to cover the roof with some sort of tarp to trying insulate from the elements. Height of the metal floor kit...

    rusty old nails from the pallets

    They are rusty but not too bad. Most of them are bent when pulled out from the pallet woods with the claw hammer. The nails are not that many to sell for money to scrap metal traders. At max. they could be about 200 - 300, or full in a shoe box. I was thinking of heating them with a gas...

    13x11 Metal shed floor board OSB or Plywood?

    Just set up a metal shed 13x11 on the slab in the corner of the garden. It came with the floor kit, and it is all installed. What would be better for the floor board on the floor kit in the shed? I can think of OSB or plywood. Which would be better for longer lasting floor board? Are there...

    Possible wall damage? by drilling over sized hole on the wall for the new broadband cable

    We are wondering why such a large hole had to be drilled into the wall for such a thin wire to come in?

    Possible wall damage? by drilling over sized hole on the wall for the new broadband cable

    Got new internet installed by an ISP. The engineer from the ISP came out, and put a line in through the house wall by drilling it. After the installation is done, the internet seems working OK, but wife not happy about the way the wall was drilled. The drilled hole is way too large, and looks...

    I saw the old post below the new post in the new thread under the heading "Similar Threads". The old post was relevant to what I am planning to do to my old shed repair, so I opened it, read it, and replied to it.

    rusty old nails from the pallets

    I am taking out 100s of the old rusty nails from the old pallets. (a very tedious job indeed) The dismantled woods will be cut into the lengths and made into a new door for the garden shed, replacing the old rotten shed door, and some slats will be patched on the rotten parts of the shed. Any...

    Gravels / red chips for subbase / MOT type1?

    Sure. I was just wondering if the leftover gravels / red chips could be used for subbase, if it would work ok without immediate obvious fault.

    Gravels / red chips for subbase / MOT type1?

    I may use it to put down a few more slabs say 4 or 5. For that ordering a ton of MOT1 sounds a bit unreasonable. But I have about a half bag of 1 ton gravels / red chips left from the other uses. Was wondering it could be put down as the foundation instead of MOT Type1.

    It is because we have some amount of left over gravels / red chips.

    Gravels / red chips for subbase / MOT type1?

    Could gravels and red chips be used as the foundation in the soil instead of MOT Type1? MOT Type1 seems to have more edged stones larger size. Gravels and red chips seem to be smaller stones with less edges, and I was wondering if they might disappear deeper into the soil through time. But do they?

    Dealing with cat poo in the lawn

    The point in this thread is not about cats or their nature and habits. It was about many cat repellent devices for sale online we have tried for so many years have not worked at all. They were all waste of money. Like humans cats are all different, and some cats will be taking notice on the...

    Dealing with cat poo in the lawn

    We are not sure if the next door cats owner has been providing proper litter for their 2 cats in their own house or garden. If they have, then why would the cats keep coming to our garden to defecate on the grass? All we know is that they let the cats out their house everyday early in the...
