Could you let me know which model the Bosch jigsaw is please? Thanks

Is an electrical test cert needed in a house you own / mortgage? I thought that was just for landlords.

I could vent it into the soffit without too much trouble, then seal it along the top. It looks like insect mesh is available for profiled stuff but I’m not sure how effective it would be, tempted not to bother, I’m not sure how much of a pest insects could be (famous last words)

I’d replace them with a couple of bits of this if you can find some the correct size https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304247140585?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=oo-q3heusys&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=UF8kLUg3SES&var=603338976333&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Grinding angle is somewhere...

Can you post a photo of the worn guides?

I’m thinking about doing the back and sides in steel, corrugated or similar. Can’t make my mind up whether the batten orientation makes any difference, if I go straight to horizontal? (Or not, and put the sheeting the other way like this, but I’m not so sure…)

First productive weekend for a while, although I got very wet yesterday! Rubber roof glued down this afternoon (with the weather looking scarily gloomy). Impressed at how easy it is to put down, can’t see myself using anything else in future for similar projects. Soffits and facias nearly...

Ideally Cedar, Douglas Fir, Larch etc, especially since I’ve half decided to clad the back and sides with metal meaning I can spend a bit more on wood for the front face. I think a ‘neat’ industrial type look will work better as the facias and soffits have been done in plastics and while I like...

Noted, still working out my way around Yorkshire but always seem to end up down a narrow cobbled street no matter how I try to avoid them...

Great, I work in Halifax so might be able to get to them - thanks

Iroko (finished with wax):

Right, I’m drawing a blank on cladding suppliers for my shed / workshop build. The choice seems to be the odd sawmill within reasonable distance that won’t even let me visit or look at samples advertised on Facebook or eBay, or premium stuff from suppliers miles away. Can anyone recommend a...

I’ll second the vote for Iroko.

Got the plastics ordered last night, I’d have like to do the facia and soffit in wood but I still haven’t had time to go on a cladding hunting trip and since it will get a lot of abuse from the weather it seems like money well spent. Wife said she had a knock on the door today, from the...

Thanks, hadn’t thought about that, but then I haven’t actually got a door. The window was ordered by mistake at the wrong length by someone who intended it to be installed vertically, so I’ve only got a short sill and will have to think of something. I made a cock up with the framing for the...

Hadn’t thought of all that, I think the cladding will be vertical and I was just mulling over angling the battens but it all makes good sense. Thanks!

Put on battens to hold down Tyvek until cladding arrives or leave battens off to avoid possible water - opinions? We had a bit of wind yesterday and I had to rush out and put more staples in but it seems to have held up. Cladding may or may not be fitted until next year

Tyvek (type stuff) went on today, after routing out the window, which was going well until the bit lost its bearing Added a small radius on all the sharp edges while I had the router out to avoid any tears. Great fun putting that on in the wind and rain!

Got a discount code for the rubber roof from Ali Dymock from YouTube who has a great series on building a garden room Result! Will get it ordered tomorrow.

I think I’ll have to find something like Hardieboard or Cedral, but it’s not easy (cheap) to get hold of in small quantities and I don’t really want to use it for the whole shed. Found some larch cladding nearby, but it’s finding time to go and have a look, I’m away overnight with work almost...
