No nuts on the back of the hex screws .

Thinking it's getting in between where the bottom of the shed meets the render. Maybe it's a very small break in it after me drilling the holes in it to let thst water that was sitting in it to run away. What I'm thinking is get some upvc window trim about 60mm and silicone it to the bottom...

See pics below. I've built a steel shed on top of blocks on flat on concrete base. Heavy guage plastic then screed. She's well secured down but there two places where it's letting damp in. Any recommendations about sorting this out? It's definitely not condonsation, ive been in the shed and...

Should have did this however just nailed in without doing it. There is a slight wave in the roof but some where only out 8-9mm And the rest only 5-6mm.

Yes, I have heard this saying before .

What do you mean you don't batten the roof out. What do you nail slates on to then?

I'd have thought 12mm would have been an extreme case. After checking the most they were out was 9mm in places however most where 6mm. Was having a convo with a roofer and was mentioned to me this is quite acceptable. Aesthetically not so pleasing to the trained eye but we'll within the...

What's your own best method of laying out your slates before laying. Is it 5 slates on top of each other every 2ft space, 10 slates every 3ft etc... And when laying, how many slates do you lay before going to the next run. Reason I ask, I always see roofers slate in a diagonal pattern instead...

If it was one or two but don't want to go chasing my tail. What I want to know is if left, would it be very noticeable.

Hi, I have a roof of 10m long ready for felt and battens. It's a roof on a house built in 2002 with cut roof and had roof tiles. I'll be changing to slates. Been striped off but when I pull a string line, some of the rafters are sitting out 5-10mm mm. If and when I install new battens, will...

Hi, doing some work around the site and building a large she'd. Block layer had built on top of steel lintel. Is it correct to just put the DPC on top of the steel lintel then bed mortar off it for the block or does it also need it under the DPC aswell. Afraid it'll be a weak joint along top of...

Sorry 200quid. I just went ahead and purchased the mikitka HR2811f for 200£ and the 18v lithium-lon 2 speed cimbi drill with 2 batteries for 163£. Hopefully they'll both be decent enough for what I'll be using them for. Mostly drilling holes and taking up tiles and breaking away some block walls

Bought a new DW088k laser level, screwd it to the wall via a wall plug, set tiling battens out on one corner of the room and as I moved the level slowly to the side to get the other side of the room level and noticed that where I set my battens, the laser line has moved up about a 1-2mm. I...

Hello I'm wondering can anyone recommended a level that I can set in a room so I can get all the horizontal lines. Even one that would shoot a laser out both ends and not to expensive.
