Wow, good luck getting anymore replies

I don't get this whole wearing gloves. Gloves should be used for one task and then discarded, not worn for an entire shopping trip. Touching items, trolleys, phone, face, wallet etc. All they are doing is spreading contamination. Be better off just carrying a small bottle of hand sanitizer

Aha well played

Sorry but that's not exactly essential shopping.

Ok thanks for your advice. Obviously couldn't get my head around it as it's not possible! I'll go for plan b and use small lengths for the corner and then use the correct angle on the end of them. Thanks again

Hi, Basically, I’m trying to add a dado rail that runs parallel to the staircase. The bit I’m stuck on, is how to cut the two parts that meet in the corner. Hopefully the photo will make sense, but going up the stairs, the incline is 118 degrees into the corner, and then 72 degrees out. The...

I replaced my lean-to conservatory with polycarb roof a year or so ago, using lightweight tiles and two velux windows. Building control were involved but didnt actually ask about the existing footings.

Oh that's handy, even if it's only 6mm thick?

Apologies if this isn't the correct forum I need to hang a glass shower screen onto an internal wall made of stramit board, overboarded with what looks like hardie board. The wall will be tiled. For those not aware what stramit is, it's basically really compressed straw, with paper facing...

I was in a similar situation and decided to use frame sealant. So far so good! Looks a lot better than trim

Up and down wall lights fitted

Thought I'd just upload some final images for completion of the project. Paving relaid and extended, render painted, soffit down lights fitted, and interior fully decorated. Taken a lot longer than expected but finally all done!

Think I just used 75mm plasterboard screws with washers

If you’re doing it properly by building regs to get signed off, you’ll probably need to overboard with 40mm Celotex like I did.

Look what I did to mine last year (it's in projects), albeit mine was different construction to yours. Lightweight tiles, 2x velux windows, 100mm celotex between rafters, overboarded with 40mm. Made a massive difference to the room.

My single story, mono pitch had 100mm between rafters, overboarded with 40mm. Signed off by building control, so I'd assume you would need the same.

Same. I doubt they'd be interested anyway as it's not habitable.

Can you not connect it to the nearest downpipe like me? Or is it really not feasible? Other than that I think a soakaway is the only option?

My set up was the same as yours. When I replaced the roof, building control said that the downpipe would either need to be connected to the existing house drainage, or a soakaway. I had to lift some Indian sandstone paving and dig around to the house. Can you remove the planks closest to the...

Good idea thanks, I'll do that before I do anything else as at least it should eliminate damp going through the render/above the DPC.
