I'm having a new electrical feed to my garage and was looking for some advice on the depth the tench needs to be? Currently there is an old 2.5mm 3 core feed but I'm moving it up to 6mm 3 core (not doing it myself, I'll leave that to the professional). I will only be running 2 socket radials...

Hi Dibs, appreciate your time and response thank you. The roof does have breathable membrane, it was re-roofed only 2 weeks back. I realise I missed the perfect opportunity to sort the insulation out at the same time but it's my mistake and have to live with it. The roof is battened but not...

Hi guys, I've been pondering on which option to take with regards my loft for insulation. House is a mid 30s build with some odd design features. The roof joists (if you can call them that) are a mere 2 5/8 x 1 5/8 inches. The ceiling joists are a little larger at 3 x 2 7/8 inches and they are...

I had a similar issue in my garage, it's roughly the same size as yours (approx 8 metre X 4 metre), it's a concrete block built garage that had a really rough/uneven floor and water ingress from the outside floor level at the walls as well as up through various spots in the floor. I looked...

If its a one off, it could be because the service went down in the area. We've had it locally before where a number of shops all lost their access to card payments at the same time.

I'm in Crewe so local, are these still available?

Now that looks like a decent bit of kit, would be good to find an owner/user for first hand experience

Aquariums, it was an addiction of mine a few years back but a house move helped ween me off them, and now a chance meeting with another aquarium user brought me back into the habit. I currently have 7 set up and another 3 in waiting. I can spend hours zoned out in an aquarium black hole, it's...

I went for a diesel heater, they run off a 12 v supply and produce a much nicer heat than what I find from any electric heaters (apart from oil filled) They're relatively cheap to run as you can use red diesel. They do need to run longer once they're turned off to cool down so some people...

I have the dust cover and waste side jig for my Makita track saw, recommended by Peter Millard. Both perfect little additions and very useful. The Strawbyte workshop YouTube channel is also very good (as is Peter's but I think everyone here already know that ;-) )

10 miles, wow looks like business is going well. Thanks for getting back know me.

I love how that looks and I'm looking for something very similar, what areas do you cover?

Wow i didn't realise how easy it would be to make a living out of woodworking! I'm certainly lacking in skills compared to the majority of users on this site but even I could make these items! However looking at the prices they're charging, I'm not sure I could actually keep a straight face. I...

I may be fortunate but my local screwfix are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Quick service and never any issues. They have a lot of stock on hand, like others I will generally order ahead of time and collect later, when I do a click and collect order they're usually ready in about 20...

May not be to everyone's taste but these 2 always bring a smile to my face

One of the contributing factors is that mining is increasing again so GPU's are particularly difficult and expensive to get hold of. I've been after a mid range card for a while but I won't pay the stupid prices.

I've have a galvanised roof and had the same problem. My beams are 8x2 so I put in 50mm polystyrene between them and covered over with that bubble wrap foil and made sure every joint was well taped up and sealed. I then battened over and covered with ply. I kept an air gap above the polystyrene...

Looks to be scaffold boards as you can see the metal board end on the top right of the picture. The black ends appear to be painted and not to be a metal frame as you can make out the wood grain if you look closely. Edit: sorry I just spotted your response Rorschach, you beat me to it!

I'd be inclined to not add insulation between the walls due to the damp risk, especially not loft type as it would slump. The foil/bubble wrap insulation added over the wall battens would help speed up the heating and also provides the vapour barrier if you follow the guidelines. You could add...

There were 5 available on toolstation for £219.99 this morning with free delivery. Now there are 4 (no prizes for guessing where the 5th one is going) ;-)
