Same here, fibre cement planking to exterior, but I also had to have fireline plasterboard internally. All built on a wooden frame with rockwool RW45 insulation which is also fireproof.

A call or chat to Amazon and they will cancel the Prime membership and refund your fee, assuming you haven’t used the Prime benefits yet. I had to do this when I found out they had charged a duplicate Prime membership when I trialled the business account. It was absolutely no problem to get the...

I had nearly an acre of paddock and tiered grass to cut. I bought and sold the tie on, it wasn’t practical for the tiers. I replaced it with a champion, which lasted four weeks. Then it was replaced with a serious Toro 22” auto pace walk behind mower, which went at any pace you walked at. I sold...

Me too, I didn’t want a clinical look, and weathered is good. But it was just plain dirty. Front of house was as bad, we moved in a year ago and hated it from the start. It took twenty year to get like it, so this should look decent for a few years.

I used Sodium hypocrite 15% diluted three parts water to 1 part hypo to clean this wall of black algae. Power washer, even with the pointed lance was ineffective. I brushed this solution on, left for one hour and brushed off with a hose fed brush And final wash with the wide blade power wash...

I used the dark green satin on my wooden garage doors. It’s a soft sheen, and allows the dirt to wash off when it rains. Six months after application and it looks as clean as the day it was applied. Not sure the self cleaning aspect is of any consequence on a fence, but I’d have used Matt for a...

When pictures like this are used to actually sell chainsaws, it’s hardly surprising novices think they are only toys, not items of self mutilation. Could be steel toe caps I guess?

My next built to start at the beginning of April is a 4mx5m open fronted summerhouse with pyramid roof. We do not have any permitted development rights here, so I have applied for planning permission. I MAY have ’got away with it’, but the cost and effort involved in building it, is not worth...

Hi Placks Mike no longer posts on their forum. you are correct, under 15sqm (internal area) can be up to your boundary. this of course assumes there are no special restrictions in your local area. Next criteria is as you state, 15-30sqm predominantly non combustible materials (different local...

Paul, whilst not Uk manufactured you can get UK sourced CNCs. I have the Inventables Xcarve, a 1000x1000mm cnc which I have also attached a 7w diode laser head to. When restrictions are lifted you’re welcome to pop over to Shepton to see it working and it’s capabilities To see if it’s the sort...

Hi, if that falls through, may I have a shout at it. I can pop over any time you’re free. thanks phil

Does the wood drag on the tables Causing undue strain? Try waxing the input and output tables with machine lubricating wax. I also found when I wanted to thickness a short length of wood from outside, the high moisture content made the planer work much harder.

Excellent news, I too know only too well the wait and worry as it grinds through the planning process. Such a relief when you get the sign of. look forward to the WIP

After framing, I did on one long side put the membrane and counter battens on before erecting that side, as I had no further access to that side externally until I removed the fence for replacement and did the cladding at the same time. My work sequence was erect frame, membrane and counter...

Not one damaged sheet. I’m certainly not as strong in the arm as I used to be, and with the sheet in balance, the big muscles in arm and leg are doing all the lifting. Fingers, wrist and back don’t take any strain.

Because the way you specced the wall construction, the OSB on the outside acts as a non permeable membrane, meaning any moisture in the wall is trapped. Put it on the inside and that will act as your vapour barrier Due to the high glue content. my build was, from the inside, fireline...

I had 40 sheets of plasterboard to shift fifty feet from delivery to worksite last year. It was over rough ground and unmade pathways. I purchased this carrier, and found it incredibly easy to lift from flat, carry and stack all the sheets in an hour. The boards were acoustic plasterboard and...

I had the Rotex 150 and found it too aggressive and unwieldy for most tasks. It was heavy and not the easiest to control. I sold it and invested in the Mirka Deros, and have never looked back. For the sanding I do, it’s perfect, very light to use, supremely controllable and used with extraction...
