Superb, Nick. Simple and elegant. =D> =D>

Or, wipe it off whilst still wet.

They don't last long, I'm afraid, but they shouldn't go that readily. I suspect you have a sub-standard batch of belts, or they are really old and have just deteriorated.

It's listed. You don't get the choice.

Yep.

No need for a doubled plate if the rafters align with the studs. No, 4x2 is bare minimum. I know it's only a small roof, but the ridge beam is all that stops the walls spreading. You need a proper lintel over the doorway (doubled 4x2 supported on cripple studs, hard up underneath the plate)to...

The plinth/ kickboard. It looks weak and unbalanced with the ends of the unit overhanging like that. Any old thing on the underside of the bottom shelf taking the load down to floor level. It could be a long member running the length of the back (like the kickboard), or it could be a series of...

If you make the horizontal pieces as a solid board (ie each of them is the full length of the cabinet), and the same with the vertical end pieces, then biscuits alone will be more than enough. Don't get involved with iron on edging. It's a piece of plastic, and you can always see the glue-line...

It sounds as though this is a building within the curtilage of a Listed Building. If so, you'll have to confirm all your window choices with the council. Crittalls traditional cottage windows (now called Homelight Plus) are a lot better these days, particularly because they come with seals and...

Why do you want insulation then?

Here's a thread where I made some bathroom furniture of salvaged wood, some of which was very much worse than the stuff in the OP. I know that it's not everyone's cup of tea, and some wouldn't enter my bathroom as a result unless armed with a flame thrower, but nonetheless, it shows that less...

American white oak is fine outside. No difference to European oak. American red oak, though, won't last five minutes. - Just in case anyone misunderstood Mike Lownsbro, wax and/ or oil aren't suitable finishes for outdoor timber. I'll say again, oak framing was originally left bare, or was...

Except wood. Then it's just sensible stockpiling.

It used to be, sure. I'd certainly be cleaning those boards up and re-using them. I would start with a belt sander, as that would remove any stuff which might be a danger to an edge tool, and once the worst was removed they'd go through the thicknesser. Then I'd saw off any rotten ends. At that...

There's good reason not to get involved with some people. :roll:

Fobco, second hand.

Thanks guys. Here's a little update:

I suggest that you are probably better off without any internal coatings. If there is damp, the place to put the barrier is on the outside, not the inside. The very basic notion here is that outside the water pressure is pushing the tanking onto the structure, whereas on the inside, it would be...

There are one or two things to be careful about with this sort of extension. Firstly, check that it falls within your Permitted Developments rights, otherwise you'll need to apply for planning permission. However, assuming that's all OK, then the junctions are the next thing to focus on. For a...
