I was told you measure from the base of the wall. Scraping the soil/ground around the base of the wall allows you to maximise your permitted development allowance.

I do have one follow-up post on the issue I mentioned in this post: There is indeed a lemon - ME! Guess who didn't realise the tilting wheel came with a securing knob to prevent it slowly spinning out of level 🙄 To be fair to me - the manual doesn't show it in any pictures - but it writes it...

Good question: All good here with no issues to talk off from me. I spoke with one person who found it wasn't industrial enough for him. He was using it commercially. I'm not. It's true the saw has quality limits (every saw does) - but for me, you need to look at the price point of this saw and...

I'd like to make you aware of the importance and need for you to own 2 blades for whatever plunge saw you buy. I own the lorded Festool ts55. It's good but recently couldn't cut some ply. I was cutting a 45 degree angle on 25mm wbp ply. The Festool just kept stopping and couldn't make the cut...

I built a tool panel on a French cleat for mine.

Hi all I'm prep'ing for a shed build and want a first fix nailer (that takes 50mm to 90mm nails) I guess I was looking at the battery nailers, and they look great. However, I'm not adverse to a gas nailer. Just don't want the air nailers - no compressor here, plus the hassle etc. Does anyone...
