There was one on one of Peter Millard you tube channel.

The only thing I have done vaguely similar is mixing cement with subsoil that I was excavating from a bank that where I was building compost bins about twenty years ago. My garden slopes a bit. Did not want to pay to get rid of it and did not want to do the great escape up the woods so used it...

What do you mean by a clay brick. House brick or some sort of cob construction.

I watch Ewe tube for two or three hours most days. Have not seen anything other than coats that would reduce the heating bill.

It seems to be a good table but I am not sure if it is better than buying trestles to put timber on. I assume that the timber will work out cheaper than buying a metal trestle. Then you have to decide how much your time is worth making the trestles, maybe nothing, maybe min wage because you...

In countries like Denmark it is likely that people accept that government generally does a good job. There are many posts above by people who think government is nearly always wrong. If a significant proportion of the population is against the government then the talent pool that government can...

Just found my mortice gauge, thought it had run away with the pencils. Its a Draper No 54 nothing special. The nob on the second slider does not unscrew ( I assume it is glued or was put into the slider cold!) just allows you to pull the slide. my block is 28mm and the slider is 73mm from the...

They do not pay twice. If the tax breaks, which refund most of the cost of a state school place, where not real why are the private schools so concerned about there possible removal.

Thanks for agreeing that they do not pay twice. You may think it is a good idea to keep "temporary" buildings that cost a fortune to maintain and heat, most people do not.

Private schools get a £2.5 billion tax break a year.

The blocks including joints are 225 high by 450 long. So there is about 675 depth of soil above the garage floor at the down pipe. In the last photo there is the pipe which looks like the end of the down pipe and a lower corrugated pipe. I would guess that the corrugated pipe is a land drain...

I would say you want one for a garage door way rather than a house door way. (if they make them differently). The thicker the wall the more lateral load that it can take.

If people do not have equal access to education then the country is poorer. If your parents are poor will the sacrifice a lot to help your education. If your parents are rich will they sacrifice a relatively little amount to help your education. If your parents are rich will they vote to keep...

I have had little involvement in building but I think that you should take into account the wall thickness is only 100mm on your chosen flood defence. obviously a thinner wall will not be able to take as great a depth of water as a thicker wall. I assume that the the building (old mill?) at...

@Jacob has already replied. How do you explain the massive reduction in further education spending since 2010.

I would have thought that a row of blocks (to match the garage) or paving slabs (to match local stone) to retain the 300mm of soil next to the garage would be considered gardening. I am no expert in planning law. When the garage was built it is unlikely that the soil was supposed to be piled up...

You may not believe that people do the best for their children but I do. If you want evidence of that well...

You have it wrong. The gauge was being used on the door. We can not leave until the door is fixed.:eek:

I would assume that the oil tank was built after the garage. The garage looks well constructed. I would assume that the people who put in the base did not care about the levels of the ground "its just a garage".
