    Velux Roof Windows in roof with no battens or felt

    Thanks catlad, Yes I could have been clearer his roof was similar in the sense of the lack of roofing membrane rather than the battening. So given your advice I'll install the underfelt collar's as per instructions to aid with the condensation and just leave out the drainage tray part.

    Digging trench for new water pipe.

    Thanks for the advice guys, I thought it might be a bit unrealistic just to cut them out neatly but you never know for sure till the first time you try. I've seen those indusstrial scale molers before and they are pretty cool but just a digger for me this time. As Noseall mentions my big...

    Digging trench for new water pipe.

    Hi, I have my plumber coming in next week to finish off some work. Part of what we wanted to do was run a new pipe in from the stop cock at the front of our drive via a new route under the front bay. Since his back isn't up to it I agreed to dig the trench since I need to get a mini...
