We bought a Grade 2 listed farmhouse 2 years ago and the conservation officer has been a nightmare. Where building control and the planners are generally well informed, and within the limits of their available freedoms, helpful and cooperative, espaecially once they had realised that we are...

IPA??? Beer?

I agree that Lathams doors are good, if you're doing a wooden door then a deadbolt in both top and bottom halves is a good idea as is a steel strip coach boletd to the door to cover the gap between the door and the frame as this protects the deadbolts, or at least acts as an additional pain in...

I’ve used the Brother type systems which are really goo, there is occasionally plastic surface they don’t stick well to in which case I use https://uk.onlinelabels.com/products/eu30086gl These labels and a computer printer, they are specifically designed for “low energy plastics” which are the...

My challenge is the timbers required to handle a 12m span at a 15degree pitch. All the tables I can find end up with the equivalent of multiple braced modern trusses. I was hoping to do something like a traditional king post design, so plenty of space for long awkward things! But this requires...

There’s no need to be jealous! 😂 This is my retirement plan to finally have space for everything I’d like to do and for storing all my agricultural and cycling stuff as well!

23m long - that’s what I’ve used as the basis for my 5 bay 6 frame estimate-23m x 12m was the biggest footprint I could get planning for!

Hi, I am looking for some practical advice on the "best" (Some subjective balance between cost and strength) way of constructing my new workshop. It will have a 12m horizontal span with a 15 degree roof slope so just over 6.2m from ridge to wall. I am considering four main options (there may be...

You can get wheels that fit into the twist lock fittings but you need it off the ground to fit them but the best way would be a delivery truck with a hiab crane fitted - pretty standard for container delivery company, no more space than the truck itself so long as you have headroom Bigger issue...

So roughly how big is the roof? We had to overlay a timber frame then board with Osb and then stick down EDPM rubber membrane £200k for a 20,000 sq ft building about 5 years ago. Had to do it that way because of several previously overlaid levels of asbestos and the removal cost was huge roof...

Hi I’ve got the manual now thanks but the fact that you are stripping for parts is interesting. Where in Dorset are you and what would you want for the machines complete? Failing that I would be interested in the cutter blocks (if that’s the right description) and all tbe rollers from the...

Thanks Recipio, I’ll give it a try!

I'm sure I'm being thick - no comments necessary! I am trying to build some new gates to match a number of existing ones. The main "Face" of the gates is a series of staves that are approximately 45mm wide, 25mm tick and range around a metre or so long. Each stave is finsihed with a neat...
