Not sure mate that's why I've asked. Just been reading that the bitumen seems the dogs danglys

Hi! I'm looking at purchasing the house next door to my in-laws for some crazy reason. I know these houses suffer immensely from damp from the existing concrete floors. Apparently they're built on an old stream, they do have wells in the rear gardens and a lake not more than 50metres away...

Can anyone give me a rough guess/estimate on what it would cost for me to get a new concrete floor laid? Current one has 3 big cracks in it and is uneven and I would like to tile the floor.. Room is 4.66 x 3.42m I can do the work of getting it up and skipped... Not got the experience or...

Hi I need a bit of advice! I plan on bricking 2 doors up in my house and fitting windows in their place, both openings are the same size. Width is 930mm, height will be determined by the window, which if the one I've linked to will be suitable is 1050mm height. When it comes to height...

[/url] cheers I know about the legalities was more a question on timber, I wanna know its gonna support the opening for the doors

Not sure whether this should be in this or the joinery section but here goes! Im hoping to start building a summerhouse at the end of the month. My plans so far are to build some block pillars to build the base on. And thats as much as I know! Wood work has never been my strongpoint, when it...

Good idea! Thanks

I'd prefer 10mm2 just to be over cautious tbh. Best to be safe than sorry! Might be a silly question but if I wanted external lighting would I be better to run a seperate circuit or would it be ok to be a part of the internal circuit too?

I think I will give the water heater a miss to avoid adding potentially a lot more £ to the project! I am now debting a caravan lpg water heater! I'll find something!

Not saw any myself? Do you mean the same as the fella above? One of them basin things ?

Thought so! Wonder how a gas boiler from a caravan would fit lol ;)

Thanks for the reply. The water heater is simply is simply for that! Its the lowest watt Ive found for instant hot water supply rather than have a small tank... I intend to have a little bar area so dragging dirty mugs, glasses etc to and throw doesnt have much of an appeal to me. I was...

Also doing it like this would they need an earth rod?

Before I start Im not going to attempt to wire into the mains myself! I know how to wire a ring and lighting circuit but no way am I confident to play with the mains or risk the house! Im intending to start building a summerhouse/workshop in the next month or so and wiring it for electric...

Cheers buddy... :)

I know as much as its going to have to be 67 inch long... Just there's that many lintels and with it being load bearing I'm not sure what to order. Jono

Haha guess I did answer my own questions! :) Anyone have any idea what lintel would be appropriate for a gap the span or 55 inch? Baring in mind one end will be into the external wall.. Thanks

id think you would be ok to use nothing in the void, personally because im fussy id put some kingspan or some sort of insulation between the wall. make sure you tie it into the existing brick work and use wall ties. thats all i can think of... but theres alot more experienced people on...

Hi there this is my first post so be gentle...! :) I am wanting to cut a hole into my wall to put and aquarium in it and fill the gap behind the wall into the kitchen. The wall in question I think it is supporting as it is a brick wall running upto the top of the house seperating the...
