Hi all Quick question. I am about to start cladding the outside of my block built workshop. I have wrapped it in breather membrane and battened it. and am ready to order the feather edge. How muck should I overlap the boards over the one below. I haven't decided whether to use 6 or 8 inch...

Smudger Champion at Claygate are who gave me the price :( Mark

Thanks guys Dave Unfortunately I have no idea how to post the profile of the moulding, my computer skills are rock bottom. Dennis Yeah I guessed at that price they would be making moulder blades. I was hoping there would be some computer controlled machine whereby the profile is loaded and...

Oh and I don't care if the new stuff is MDF or wood as it will be painted Mark

Hi all I need to extend the dado rail in my hallway due to having the electric meter moved and replace a bit that's missing. I have trawled the local yards/sheds and surprise surprise cannot find the match. What I need to extend is MDF to my surprise so didn't think it would be that old, I've...

I saw in Tesco last week that if you take out their car insurance you get a free Karcher pressure washer. I have been considering whether I could take this out, then cancel after a month and keep my new pressure washer? Mark

Hi everyone I've decided to start the patio area in front of my nearly finished new workshop. To do the base I need to get my trench rammer repaired. Basically need a new set of bellows fitted as the old one has split and oil goes everywhere when its on. Could probably do with a service...

Guys Thank you all for your responses. I have put both SL Hardwoods and West and Son in route finder. Both take an hour pretty much exactly. I was hoping there would be somewhere closer as both will end up being half day round trips. These 2 do look very good places however and I will be...

Thanks SL Hardwoods looks good but it's too far really. I have looked at Waterhead37's map. I seem to be in bit of no mans land. The London suppliers are too far into london. There are then suppliers west and south of Surrey, which again is well over an hour away from me as I'm in North...

Hi all Can anyone recommend a decent wood store / supplier in my area. I live by junction 11 of the M25 in North Surrey. Would be willing to travel into SW London as well as Surrey and surrounding areas. I'm after some oak for some shelving at the moment but looking to the future for other...

New Haw Just inside the M25, junction 11 Mark

I have made alcove shelves this way out of reclaimed joists. Planed to 40 mm thick, I then routed slots out of each end (obviously stopping short of the front) about 1 mm bigger than a piece of pine baton I bought in the DIY store. A baton on the wall on each side was enough. With shelves...

Looks fantastic Is this going to be in a house in Oxshott by any chance?

Hi to all I need some advice on insulating the roof of the workshop I'm building. The workshop itself is built of 9 inch aircrete (thermalite) blocks. The roof is slated. underneath is a breathable roof felt that the local roofing supplier recommended. This is over 4 inch rafters. I...

Hi They have been around for a number of years. I too live in Surrey inside the M25 at New Haw. Behind my workshop is a field and we used to get flocks of them in the trees, literally up to 100 birds, but I see less now. They also used to congregate around Hersham, Esher, that sort of area...

Hi I have a pair of French Doors just like you describe, 7 feet high and each 21 inch wide. I used silicon as most others described but be ware if you ever need to replace the glass it will be stuck like hell with even a thin layer all the way round. With toughened glass you will hopefully...

To clarify the victim in a credit card fraud is the credit card company and the business where the card was fraudulently used. Technically the card holder has lost none of their own money, it is the credit card companies money. Obviously the card holder is put to a lot of stress and...

Hi I hope you have more luck than I did when I fell victim. I too was very impressed when the fraud department identified fraudulent use on my card, originating in Sweden (where I have never been). However this turned to dismay when I got my statement. When I looked they did not stop the...

Schultzy I bought one from Sarah yesterday. Price as you posted. I am in the process of setting up a new workshop so it is ideal for me. They have seen a lot of use but there is also a lot of life in them yet. The large benches in the picture actually come with 2 of the 53E's, one on each...

I have put polyurethane insulation sheets between between the joists in the dining room of my Victorian house. On builders advice the top of this is flush with the bottom of the floor boards. Under the polyurethane is well ventilated by the air bricks. This has been in some time now and I...
