Morning thanks for your reply. The application went in around 2021. Foundations were poured about this time last year. The building control company has been in touch by email saying that the new regs would be in effect if works had not started by a particular date in June last year as that was...

Hello. I'm working on an extension that had works started last may. Need help if anyone remembers what the u value was please? Thanks if you can help.

Anyone know why you can buy 100mm dpc and 112mm?

Thanks gents, apologies for late response. I didn't get an alert.

Thanks for your tips everyone. Very helpful.

I thought I'd better replace our smoke alarm. A battery powered one but I thought you guys would know better than most. I had a look on Screwfix and got a bit bewildered by the choices. It's there anything to look or for? Optical etc or compliant with any particular EN standard. And presumably...

Hello, I'm referring to where the new cavity wall connects to the existing outside wall. I intend to cut the bricks out and connect the inside wall of the extension to the inside skin of the house. I wasn't going to do this until I got to the dpc height. But is it necessary to do something...

Thanks I'll give it a look.

Are you thinking I should watch a foreign channel with a VPN?

I haven't got a fire stick. Do you need a subscription to go with it?

Just wondered if anyone knows how to get the games in the UK. I've been looking online but explanations are a bit vague and contradictory.

Thanks people I'll check out the recommendations. I used my cross level one the other day when it started getting dark. Got something to work from at each end about 16 metres apart. I did use an audible one over a decade ago whilst doing a swimming pond. Just what you need in bright sun. The...

It's old, not self leveling, not clear in daylight. Not sure which one it is but I bet they don't make them anymore.

Think I ought to get a new one. Mines a bit of a nightmare and I've started doing everything with a straight edge and level and it's very slow. I'm talking about outside work.

Fair enough but a lot of people don't seem to have a lower price than a fsh one. I think I'd only do it if the miles were quite low and I interned to sell it on fairly soon.

To be honest I'm amazed by how many cars on auto trader, car gurus for example that don't have a full history or even any history at all. It makes finding a decent car a bit of a challenge.

That's a point the acros might struggle. I don't think three of the five props I'll use have much weight to bear as therye a bedroom window above but better safe than sorry. Cheers

I only heard about these a year or two ago. As the name suggests that are bigger and stronger than the normal strong boys. Apparently they can hold up both walls of a cavity which then means you can work on the outside without the acros obstructing you. I like the sound of this and would like to...

Thanks everyone. Better safe than sorry eh.

So a friend has seen a car online. It's with a dealer who has several other cars for sale. My mate emailed asking about service history and any work done previously to the car. He got a reply saying the dealer was selling for a friend who's in the industry and has done any work himself so no...
