    Yes, mine is double sided and inside one cabinet door is chalked 'I was here' and underneath that ' So was I' - very schoolboy and judging by the spelling it must have come from a posher school. Normally you'd expect I woz ere... 😁

    Paint brush recommendations?

    You shouldn't need a vapour box for water based paints and varnishes, I just wash them out. Great tip for solvent based though - I never knew and because I hate using white spirit I usually wrap the brush in cling film in between coats then bin it once the job is done. I like these from Screwfix...

    I normally buy my 1/2" from Wealden which are excellent and have bought 1/4" Erbauer from Screwfix which are good value. But this week I bought this template cutter to cut out a 3 x diamond stone holder, I only needed it to cut 2mm deep but it cut really cleanly. Mesee Industrial Grade Flush...

    How old is this roof?

    You do need modern breathable membrane and I would also install 50mm Brash battens for easier nailing and longevity. Cheap battens split when nailed allowing rain in instead of running into the membrane sag. +1 for max headlap also correct fitting of ridge tiles.

    Ventilating a 1 1/2 story house.

    We live in an old stone cottage with vaulted bedrooms and dubious insulation. The 400 year old part stays cool in summer but the more recent extensions (70s/80s) suffer from heat build up upstairs that make sleeping impossible during a heat wave. We've experimented with lots of different ways of...
