    Can you help me position a new radiator..

    The windows at the back - are bifold doors- so i can't put rads under them.. and the kitchen has underfloor heating. The blue rad - near the kitchen is actually really small under a breakfast bar - and does not kick out much heat - we are about 3000 BTU's too low..

    steel beam

    My SE is saying that we need a column to support a beam - as the length (7.5meters) is too long without having one). the beam will hold up celing joists for 2 rooms and be 'load bearing' under a purlin line - to stop sag.. The load should be evenly distributed along most of the steel.. The...
