thanks guys.... a real help. matt

the cast iron stack has the standard branch tee off to the wc. do you think it is possible to remove the wc cast pipe that goes into the branch tee. if so is the best way to remove this bit by chipping away at it. also would standard soil pipe go into the tee and how would you seal it...

thats probably a chair brick at theback. is it angled and bellied out near the top. matt

thanks for that. 1 have 2" timber frame with shiplap cladding 12mm all over the outside. are you saying you just put polystrene sheets inside the shed carcass and then boarded over the polystrene??? did you put in any sort of damp proofing in the walls? i am basically trying to make...

easy answer....... find a good bit of brick around the bracket. if you can get a fixing then jjust drill a few more holes in the bracket with a metal drill bit. matt

the wc will be vented via a stub stack boxed in and vented. i don't intend gettin regs etc and am not considering advertising it as extra bedroom.... its just going to be for the kids. ***just had an idea*** think i'll put a macerator in and save all the effort of chopping out and...

okay thanks... so what is a floating floor. are you suggesting dpm, insulating slabs (of what???), with a floating floor? matt

thanks... can't really go for a floatin floor due to the head height. i was hoping a dpm under joists for floor would stop any damp and i could always insulate between floor jists. would this need planning permission to convert garage or just b.regs. i'm not planning on either ... do you...

yes thats what a frost stat will do... some modern boilers have them built in. they are not essential but what it will do will stop any cold water from freezing within the boiler. its probably not very likely that the water temp in the boiler will get that low with regualr use but if you...

it has a flat roof that was re-felted 4 yrs ago... seems okay so gonna leave it. this can always be replaced years down the line. thought abut putting a truss roof on but was concerned about the load and the single brick. also there are no planners involved. i was just gonna do it and chance...

what type of boiler is it? combi or open flue boiler. it will be fine as long as its water tight, if its too cold in winter then make sure its got a frost stat built in or you could have problems.... consider ventilation if its an open flued boiler. hope this helps. by the way where...

thanks for that. i know what you're sayin, i'm not tryin to create a room suitable for living in. just something thats primarily gonna keep out the damp (to a degree) would an air gap between the outer frame and an inner frame help stop water tanking through the wall or shall i just save...

the extension is next..... thanks for your reply. i have ventilated the eaves. do you think putting a cavity inside the carcass with another timber frame built inside would be of any use? in other words it would be like a shed within a shed with a cavity. then i could insulate the innner...
