Osb, insulation, insulation, osb, and epdm. My kinda flat roof. Looks great.

if pocster screwed the plasterboad onto his osb in line with the guidlines that have been pointed out to him further up this post, there would be a very, very, very, very, small chance that the plasterboard would fall off the wall at some point in the future. Because he has used atleast twice that many screws, he has reduced the chances of that now happening to just Very, very.... Well done pocster, Although everybody else on here might well be Miserable (expletive Deleted)'s, i'm awarding you a gold star. Wear it with pride fella.⭐

I have used them several times on boats, on site etc. Always found them to be ok for the basic channels 1234. Never really explored using them as a main one.

I'd like to join. Happy to service the ladies, plugging holes.

Ozzie Osbourne has a Urinal in his gaff. I think they are great. Saves pi$$ing all over the floor.

Can i also just say. Nice bit of solweld Pocster. Much better than some of your previous efforts......(Sorry, coul'd resist)

You can run multiple outlets into the same unit fella. I sure that there is the potential for the pump to reach capicity, but with a couple more items only it will be fine fella.

I would bring the gas in if it were me. Just because i hear that the gas may at some time be changed to hydrogen or something ? If you don't bring it in, and somebody want's it in the future, it will be a total pain to bring in.

I don't think so. From memory, that pipe will be full of water. It won't pump air up behind it to empty the pipe. The pipe won't start to empty till it starts running downhill. Turn the tap on again, and i'm sure it will kick in. That vertical pipe will always be full of water.

I always like horizontal cable runs about 450mm from the floor. leave a good bit of slack in the cable (providing you have 50mm of cover, ie; behind battons) If you then want an extra socket, say inbetween Two existing sockets, cut a hole in the plasterboard, and the cable is there waiting for you.

I had a bit of paint on a wall that kept bubbling up. sanded.re-painted, and back it came several times. Eventually dig it out. It was a six inch bit of bacon rind in the plaster !

I know the pub, and the area well. Fingers crossed for the new people running the place but, this aint central London, full of tourists. This is quite a poor area. I very much doubt it will last Two years. Don't get me wrong, the developer was taking the pi$$ and it was a stunning old building.

I just love the above Bitpipe. Are you sure that you got them all. Did you check all pockets, of all clothing that you wore throughout the build ?

No, i just make an effort. I live semi rural. When i spotted an old bill i engaged him in a conversation. When i later met him and another cop in the cafe, i paid for there butties while getting my own. I have a couple of direct mobile numbers for a couple of local old bill now, together with a couple of first names.

Yeah, you are bloody late Joe90. Where were you last night when we were having fun. I don't want to put you on the tart list with Pocster...

I'm with you. Lifting them, extending the forks, and waiting for the tip would not be my idea of fun,

And if you catch any thieving scum, dont do what my mate did, which was, detain them (several hours) Torture them ( to the point where they emptied their bowel.) Unfortunately, that got him 6 years inside, and he had to pay compensation to said scum. Although, as the cops said. They thought that said scum would probably look for a change of career.

Bloody hell fella. That is the nearest place to my Daughter. It's where she goes for her takaway Chinese. She is in Wistow.

12mm entrance door is not going to cut it. Thieving scum will get in through anything if they want to. get either a cheap external door, or a second hand one, and put 12mm ply on either side. Make up a frame from 4 x 2 etc and fit the damn thing properly. Hinge bolts, Two 5 lever locks. One a third from the top, and One a third from the bottom. Think about a cheapish solar alarm, which will come with a couple of pir's and a couple of door contacts. The pir's can be fitted on a couple of planks and rested against the wall, and moved around. Put some alarm stickers around the place, and make sure One is on the front door. None of this will stop somebody who wants to get in, but it will help. One last thing. Make sure that you regularly set the alarm off during the day when the workers are there. Make sure anybody who comes to site knows that the place is alarmed. Early morning delivery. "Won't be a min fella, just got to get the alarm switched off. I am a firm believer that a lot of site nicking is done by somebody who knows somebody. Go to all the nearish neighbours, and tell them the place is alarmed. Give them your phone number, so if it goes off in the night, they can contact you. That way, with a bit of luck, any teenage kids will get to know that the place is alarmed from the parents. Tell the local Old Bill, and ask them to keep an eye on the place when driving by etc. It all helps.

PS Do you think ETC will ever be my pal ?? Night Night.

Fair play Adsibob. There are always worse things going on in the world. I'm glad that between us we managed to get a smile out of you. Now, i'm off to bed. I need to be up in the morning to catch the news, and Etc's appointment by Boris being announced. Try and sit down with your builder. Go for the disarm. tell him that spending all your money is making you worry, and that your sure he will understand. He does this stuff everyday, but you don't , and you just want to try and get it to be as good as possible. Also, be the bigger man and apologise for your engineer taking so bloody long to sort out a simple drawing....... You might just be able to sort it out. About 25 years ago, i had to blow up at a contractor on site. He tried to throw the race card at me saying i was picking on him because he was Black. I told him that i had no problem or interest in what colour he was, just a problem with his shite work. 25 years later, and i can actually call him one of my pals.

It beats comic relief, although i can't stand her, i did think Divina looks quite hot tonight.

You can take what you want off the rack. I will still take you to task for saying that trial holes are never done, and rarer than hens teeth.

Faz. I don't know why, but i thought you were London based ? I can see Green in the background. Where are you, and are you moonlighting ?

adisbob. that took some typing..... so to get the height you wanted, But to stay under your planning restriction height, you are going to sink your new extension down, and perhaps have a step or some steps down from your existing floor level. When done well that can look great. Especially, when they are nice and wide imo. Good luck with the rest of your build......
