    Exploding Pagers - Lebanon

    These statements are untrue. Destruction of a state is not genocide. Destruction of a "group" is. I guess you could argue that destruction of the Zionists is genocidal towards Zionists, but not all Jews or Israeli are Zionists. Far from it. Also, Hamas' stated aims are not to eradicate all...

    No Fault Evictions

    Oop, we're off on the benefits scroungers now. Are we going to do short prison sentences (special mention - the death penalty! :o ) next and finish up on asylum seekers (the scoundrels), hmm? Some people really don't ever get that their entire outlook on life has been programmed into them...

    MFT and Rail Square - my thoughts

    I bought a cheap rail square to use with the Macallister tracksaw I also just bought (oh that Peter Millard). All to use with making my metal shed workshop wooden floor. Rail square from Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B49HVXP3?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title Went to use it and...

    Doesn't seem to matter what forum I join, wander into the off topic bit and it's always just about a bunch of middle aged gammons arguing about Brexit :D .

    Which screw for securing metal shed down onto wooden base?

    I bought these. But now I'm looking at them - are these OK for putting into pressure treated wood?

    Shed Flooring OSB/feather edge cladding expansion

    Ello. Shed base I have made is 8 foot by 10 foot. My OSB for floor is cut into 5 pieces and is a good fit on my joists, which I've built. I've not screwed the OSB down yet. Will be doing a one foot tall dwarf stud wall on top of it that I've mentioned in other threads, which I'll clad with Tyvex...

    Which screw for securing metal shed down onto wooden base?

    Thanks for replies. I won't be sure until Saturday when I do this, but I think I might be OK getting the screw straight down into the wood. As I say, I shall be placing the shed on 2x4 turned sideways so the 95mm face is up and the metal base plates are quite wide with a flattened flange...

    Which screw for securing metal shed down onto wooden base?

    I have built wooden floor and dwarf 200mm high stud wall (stud wall to raise roof a bit, described in a different thread) that I am going to sit a cheap metal shed on top of. I am going to wrap the dwarf stud wall in breathable membrane, stapled on, and screw feather board cladding over it, and...

    Need some sanity checking on slightly unusual shed floor build

    Cheers for that (y). When you say floor, do you mean ground or OSB? As I say, I shall put some flashing pieces over the ends of the OSB, keep out moisture water ingress from cladding.

    Need some sanity checking on slightly unusual shed floor build

    Thanks all very much for replies. I'm going with the clad dwarf wall idea, have ordered the timber so I'm committed. Doubtless spent too much money but TBH this has been in the running for months and I'm sick of thinking about it, just want to get it done. That said, here is the new drawing for...

    That's very helpful, thx :). Enjoy your single malt.

    Need some sanity checking on slightly unusual shed floor build

    Thanks for reply. What I'm concerned about is, if I make the shed base using 3x2 or whatever, and stick the OSB 18mm on it, so I have my floor built, will a chunkier board like a 2x9 (that's a 225mm, right?) sit flush to the board when screwed down? I can imagine if I took, say, a 2x2 and it...

    Need some sanity checking on slightly unusual shed floor build

    Dimwit question: how would I screw a piece of timber like that into the base? Sort of diagonally down from the outside into the base? I've got an impact driver. What about cupping or whatever it's called. Can I truly get a 2x225mm to sit flush on a "flat" surface? As I say, I'm inexperienced.

    Need some sanity checking on slightly unusual shed floor build

    Yes it is the £300 flimsy shed type with the sliding door . The height difference between roof apex and where it meets the side walls (eaves?) is 230mm. It would be nice to get the side walls to my 5'8" so I don't have to worry about banging my head if I go near the sides. This means raising it...

    Need some sanity checking on slightly unusual shed floor build

    Yes - I'd come to this conclusion myself a couple hours ago :D - why not make it with short little studs and then, as you say, can go as high as I like, plus I get to put the floor OSB on top of the outer rim joists, instead of trying to fit them inside (I was looking forward to gaps in the...

    Need some sanity checking on slightly unusual shed floor build

    How about putting the second outer rim joist square just sitting on top, but then just having some very deep flashing coming down from the top of the upper rim joist square so it covers the join between the two? That way, any gaps between the two caused by not sitting flush would be covered up...

    Need some sanity checking on slightly unusual shed floor build

    Hello folks. New member, hope to be returning for the conversations as I'm building a small workshop shed thing, to do some mid life crisis hobby carpentry in :) . Have bought a cheap metal shed. 3000mm x 2500mm. I shall be putting together the metal square that forms the outer floor dimensions...
