Thanks, I didn't know that. I will order some stainless steel ones ASAP and replace the current ones. You don't happen to know a good source for stainless steel or brass as I can't find much online. This is the door as it is now: - sorry that pic is sideways for some reason - Also...

Thanks for all your replies. I went with T-Hinges and Coach bolts which works fine except the door is slightly warped.

Any advice appreciated as I was hoping to sort this tomorrow.

I recently started converting a shed into a garden office. It's been slow going but one of the first things I did was order a new door as my cats could claw through the one that came with the cabin. I ordered a bespoke ledged and braced oak door (bespoke as its and odd size) which turned up...

A local handy man has built some shelves in our alvoces. They are MDF tops with Mdf strip at the front. There were bare wood when he finished. So I set about trying to paint them and get them up to a lovely brilliant white gloss. I went down to wickes and asked one of the guys there for...

I hope not. Can I tape and fill it? I don't want to have to pay out for a plasterer to skim it and I haven't got a clue where to start with that.

I got a local handyman in to build some shelves and while he was here he boxed in the pipes in the toilet and bathroom. He used plasterboard and I have no idea how to go about finishing them so I can paint to match the wall: What do I need to finish that?

I found a local place who will deliver tapered edged boards for not much more that that. Does anyone have a link to instructions on what to do when taping and filling? Also what tools/materials to buy?

I am looking to plasterboard out my office and then paint direct onto the plasterboard. Just looking for some advice on what to get. This seems very cheap: http://www.wickes.co.uk/baseboard-square-edge-1220x900x95mm/invt/220205/ Would that be a good buy? Also what tape and filler...

Thanks Al for the response. I can always count on you ;) I plan to treat the inside of the wood and then put a breathable membrane on the inside of the walls and roof. My plan was then to batton out the walls like I did in my test above and insulate with 50mm foil backed insulation. with...

Anyone?

I have started a project thread here: //www.diynot.com/forums/your-projects/another-yes-another-shed-office-garden-hideaway-thread.336625/#2506723 I will update that one as this has moved from an idea to a project.

so all you shed builders and woodwork experts. Is this OK: I need to bulk out the walls to put in 50mm insullation. I had a couple of battons laying around so I fitted them to double up on the current uprights. Will this work OK? I was going to double up on the current...

I will update this thread with progress. I intend to get the roof felt on tomorrow.

So I originally intended to build a shed myself and insulate etc mysel. This is where I am putting it: and here is a wider shot: but my plans changed in prep for this I bought a Hawklok (http://www.hawklok.co.uk/) basekit. I cleared the site and put the base down. The shed...

the one thing they did supply a lot of is felt. There's 3 rolls. I have screwed the roof together but the gap is a bit wide I am not sure of the point of the screws as just the tip is in ;)

I probably should start a project thread. So here it is. I decided to just go for it and build the stupid thing on Saturday. Ended up doing the whole thing myself - including nearly dropping the roof on my neck but I got there (got no photos during the build as I was on my own and didn't think...

Thanks for the advice guys. I have decided not to insulate below. I have put down a hawklok base which will raise the shed off the concrete but I decided to put some 3x2 tanalised bearers on top and put the shed floor on top of these. The cost was £18 for 6x 2.4m lengths so it's not much to...

Unfortunately the main reason for getting this office setup - my job - has kicked off big style. I have been traveling every week lately plus we just got back from 10 days away. So not much has been done on this build. The base I put down has settled and is pretty much level now. And I have...

So the shed turned up finally but it's not in kit form. The walls, floor and roof are already built. This poses an issue (as I can see) for insulating the floor. I have laid a level base using hawklok and I was going to lay a DPM on to of this, put the floor joists down then fill with...
