Internal wall is also be a solid block wall, but I assume it'd need a bit of a pillar building out and a padstone. We actually took one out in our own house 10y ago with the in-laws help, however he's a commercial builder so has no clue on pricing. Did a double steel, and turned it into a...

Anyone got recommendations on food kitchen brands these days? I'm not looking for the sheds like B&Q, IKEA, Howdens etc. We had a Crown Imperial fitted 11y ago and it's fantastic. We fitted it ourselves and the quality was brilliant. It still looks brand new today. Recent reviews on...

We're just trying to get some very rough ball park figures on work we'd like to do to a potential house we might buy. Basically ensuring our budget meets expectations. We'd like to take an internal wall out, it's 4m long, and it's a structural wall. The upstairs floor wall matches the position...

Thought as much. If the mains pressure isn't great, is there a way to increase it, even if temporarily whilst water is being drawn off. I'd assume you can pump the mains, but unsure if there's some sort of buffer mechanism to apply extra pressure for a period of time

We've got a fairly standard water tank system at home. Regular boiler, tank in the airing cupboard which is "pressurised" by the water tank in the loft. The bathrooms however are in need of replacing, but one of them has an electric shower, and one has a "power shower" with an inbuilt pump...

I've got a garage conversion which is used as my office, however it's currently only got a set of french doors and AC. Ideally i'd let to get a cycle of fresh air in here, but don't really want to lose the heat. Its only about 4x2m. Does anyone know what might be best in terms of ventilation...

Yeah that's fair enough. I'll keep an eye on them, worse case, I'll have to split them up and install another outdoor socket and power them from the other side. As for the pedantic note, that's a fair statement. I was looking at them, the meanwell supply I have says led driver on it so just...

Hmm thanks. Unfortunately there appears to be no information on what is actually driving the lamps themselves. Technical information on the is... Limited The wires etc will be off the ground and pinned so not too concerned about them getting damaged, just want to make sure I've got the...

Hey All, I've got 12x 24V 7W outdoor spike lights for my garden, the plug and play variety that only require a driver to be fitted. Electrician has already come and fit all the outdoor electrics, so will be back at some point to wire in the LED driver, but I'm questioning how the lights and...

Thanks, looking at these though, you need a fairly chunky wall for the exchange to fit. I've got about 6" so looks like these might be too big

The back half of our tandem garage was converted to a room, that I use as my office/man cave. The issue is it's got no windows, only a set of french patio doors. Other than installing a window which only benefit would be to open for air, not light due to the only place it could go, does anyone...

That's not what I'm intending to do. I'm dropping the post behind the wall, and then going to fix through the wall in several places. Will probably use some sort of strap on the inside as well the spread the load The fence we were intending to build, is more screening to be honest. Hit and miss...

The fence is knackered. Half the posts need replacing and it wobbles all over the show

Completely different style of fence. Old one has also had it in places, but posts are on neighbouring side and they don't want to be ripping out all their plants and garden to replace it

I've got actual posts getting concreted in at either end of the wall. It's a slated fence, so wind can pass through it I'm putting a few in to spread the weight. Shouldn't be too much of an issue We asked them to put actual posts into the ground behind the wall when they built it, but then...

100mm.

The wall itself is 4m wide and only 60cm high, so the only concreted posts are going to be that far apart. The slatted panels are 3m wide. The fence is 2m high, so over the span of 4m, I need something that is going to take the flex of a 1.6m fence that'll have wind blowing against it. It's got...

I did have a look at plate nuts as well, but the only ones I could find were where the thread comes in from the front. None of the stainless steel ones I could find have a hole in the back for a thread to come through. Unless im looking at the wrong thing

I had considered this, but the wall is only 60cm tall and the fence post is 2m, and I can't get a hole in the ground, so the wall fixing needs to be really secure. Those T-nuts don't really spread the load enough. It's only treated pine, so they'll pull right through it

The best way to explain this is with a picture. We have an existing fence between the neighbors. We can't take it out and get access from their side, as they have lots of stuff in the way, and it'd mean dismantling a lot of their garden. No go. We had some builders in a while ago, and they...
