My boy's (12) mum, who I;ve been split up with for a very long time and with whom I have a very bad relationship, gave him his first smartphone about a year ago, her old iPhone. Because she's not too bright, she decided it would be sensible to not wipe it before she gave it to him, so it had all...

Looks like I can lift the shed No, it's a new shed. Just very cheap. One of these in green. https://www.deubaxxl.co.uk/garden-shed-green-metal-10x8ft/990744/ That image is the best image you will ever see of that shed provided by manufacturers or vendors. Actual photos don't exist unless posted...

I wonder if I could just put two layers of tape down, with another piece of tape trimmed narrower in between them and located against the metal rise, like a sandwich with the filling off to one side. The top layer of tape would then angle downwards.

It's worse than I thought. Got the hose out, sprayed it down from above and had a really good look at what's going on. The weight of the metal shed on the white plastic trim is actually making it bend downward towards the shed wall :rolleyes:. As a result, the water is pooling and heading inward...

Nah. It's a 300 quid metal shed. What you see in the first pic is what there is - a horizontal metal flange. There are some pre-drilled holes so you can screw it down so it doesn't blow away :D .

No, the shed designers had the idea that the user is going to put it on a flat surface like a poured concrete base etc. The instructions actually state that whatever it is sitting on should extend, from memory, I think it was 10cm further out than the outer metal base plates. Whatever the...

Yeah lol, that's an idea. :D I spose I could do something like that still, it's probably possible to lift the shed up one wall at a time and slip some DPM under there and lift up the inside edges like you did. I have plenty of access to small magnets at work, use them to pin the edge to inside...

TBH, I am thinking the tape is going to be easier. I would have to cut it along its length to get it to size. I've bought a roll of the butile type stuff, a B&Q brand, this evening. And that is definitely what it is - a sticky roll of black stuff. I'm already wishing I'd bought this stuff for...

The ingress can only be from under the silver galvanised steel, between it and the white trim. Below the green wall panel, at the bottom, is an air gap, but behind the green wall panel the same silver galvanised steel piece rises to form a barrier a couple of centimetres high. So any water...

I'll make it a bit easier - can anyone recommend me a proper outdoor waterproof sealant tape that doesn't cost an absolute fortune for 11 meters? I like the look of 3M Extreme Sealant tape but that is way too pricey. Need something that will do the same job for less money. Some sort of exterior...

Yes. I'm familiar with the idea of horizontal cuts but shallow to keep vibration down from my small CNC use. Because that's a little cheap thing, frame twisting and crazy noise and vibration is a concern. If I do said series of plunged overlapping holes I can then use a sideways cut or two to...

Hello. Sorry it's another metal shed question. This time it's about sealant or other options. Took this image in the dark, apologies. Ignore the crappy corner trim thing, that's going to be covered over with a corner piece and sealed in place. That bit I'm not worried about. What you're...

I have a 6mm collet come with the router. And an 8mm collet too. So a spiral two flute upcut? I see vids for making jigs. I'll get some practice on wider flat boards as well before I start doing this stuff. I might actually have a 6mm upcut bit already for my little CNC machine (which I have...

Got a bad shoulder. Looking at doing it with router and using power tools in general as much as possible. Are we saying a 1/4 inch router is inappropriate for mortise joints?

Are you're referring to the larger straight edge bit?

Hi, I have a quick question that I'm having trouble finding an answer for with a google. Want to cut a mortise with the green Bosch plunge router I just bought, which is a 1/4 inch router. I have never used a hand router ( :eek: ). First one I want to cut is in a 2x4 (or 47x95mm). I read that...

I am not going to be making a front door for a very long time lol, but I'm curious - can I make a front door without replacing frame, then later on replace the frame and keep the front door I made? I guess it's hard to make a frame for an existing door...

Just bought one of these a few hours ago. Got it out the box. The plunge release lever that you have to depress with your thumb to get the thing to plunge is really stiff. I think it's fine, I think it's supposed to be that stiff (!). But it's awful. I mean, it's really hard to move. A bit of...

So today I have gone and bought a Bosch POF 1200 AE. This isn't for use on router table, I'll buy a trim router for that. I wanted something that I wouldn't have to remove from table every time and that would plunge. Ye Gods, the lever you have to press to make it plunge is stiff as hell. You...

Came across this thread. When I made my metal shed floor I used this span table, but now, after looking at it again after reading the above, I think I didn't really understand it. https://www.timberbeamcalculator.co.uk/en-gb/span-table/floor-joists?load=1.5&class=C16 I used C16 47*95mm at...
