    Replacing 80's heating timer (dial) with wireless

    hmm suspect you are right there :-( the pipes go into the roof space, and into the ground... so not sure where they go from there.. I have had thermostatic valves fitted to all of the radiators, so at least I can stop the heating in the summer cooking the rooms, but I would still have the...

    RSJ vs concrete lintel - 8foot span

    out of interest, how does the engineer calculate it? i.e. without the original design of the house? it must be a bit of a dark art, as the roof is supported by the main roof structure itself, which is supported by the outside and inside walls. this set of beams then also support it along the...

    RSJ vs concrete lintel - 8foot span

    thank you so much for the reply. I think the way to go is steel, as it takes more risk out of it and like you said finishing it is not that bigger deal. the problem is, I had it all right in my head until the builder came around and muddied my brain a little. his intentions were great of...

    RSJ vs concrete lintel - 8foot span

    as you can see from the pictures, the load above this opening would be static (apart from the very left of it where the landing is), the majority of the opening will be underneath the roof space, and only the centre part is actually load bearing under the i-beam/wooden joist.

    Good morning all... I would like to remove the wall between the kitchen and the dining room. The house is a semi detached chalet bungalow. it appears that many of the neighbours have done this in differing ways, but my plan is to have a pillar either side of the opening where the support will...
