No it is not the same Zoot the Hoot. Don't worry, You don't need any. You are internally glazed, and your old unit did not have any.

So your house on both sides is how close to the boundary ???? but you want your neighbour to stay 2 or 3 metres away ? ?? A bit double standards.

I saw your tractor. I can't show my Mrs. She want's one like that.

You look like you have an externally beaded conservatory.. I hav'nt seen that for a fair few years. How old is it.

Yeah, my tip is get the Mrs her own small shed for gardening stuff. Don't want it in the man cave.

"Law abiding way" He is applying for an extention under the neighbourhood consultation scheme. What is illegal about that ? Think yourself lucky that you dont live next door to me. I'm in the greenbelt an got an increase from 500sq ft to 3000sq ft. Six times the original size.. When you come to sell your place, people will be able to say " Look we can turn this little house into a nice large house like nextdoor" His large house has prob added value to yours.

I don't know about £20 but phone a few locals that you find online. The most successful glazing comp near my last house, charged twice what any other company did ! Go figure.

I always use full bore isolators as Joe has stated above. In my opinion those things with a little screw in the middle, regardless of what make, always end up leaking.

That looks bloody nice fella

Fair enough Steamy Tea. The point i was trying to make was that in my opinion you need a lot of light in a workshop. I used to make very expensive furniture in mine, and i never wanted to be working in shadow. When i was charging up to £10 grand for a bathroom vanity unit, to go into a £15million pound house, it's manufacture, and finish had to be spot on. I had 6 circuits to control the light so i never felt that i was working with not enough light. Joe 90's workshop above would be way to dim in my opinion.

I would say lots of it, on a few circits. You can't have enough light in a workshop. My last one had 2500watts.

I've done about 100 windows, so not a prob for me, but Zoot the Hoot may well be better to wave a fiver at the fella.

Zoot the hoot. Glad you found my info useful, and did'nt just leave your glass in with no beads, waiting for that gust of wind. Now you have measured the size and the thickness, stick the old glass in, and put a short bead in both sides. When your glass is delivered, give the geezer a fiver, and he will have it in, and beaded before you would be able to make him a cup of tea. It will be worth your fiver all day long fella.......Those beads can be a right pain.

Zoot the hoot. Careful fella. That black gaffer tape will not be holding your glass in. It will have been used around the edge of the Two glass panes, and the spacer in the middle. The glass will now only be held in because the glass will have formed a bond to the outside rubbers on the frame. Stick one of the short beads in one of the sides, and go outside and give it a bit of a thump as if you were banging a table, on the opposite side to where you put the short bead. This will break the seal. You will be surprised at how well it will be stuck. The bead that you put back in will prevent the glass falling out, just don't go mad. Once the suction has been broken, you can go inside and remove the short bead that you put in the side. You can now remove the glass, and measure it properly, including the thickness. While you are waiting for your new glass to arrive, put the glass back in, and put the Two short beads that you have in the each side. This will hold your glass in place, and the short beads put in the sides will be easier to remove when you get your new glass. That, and they will give you good practice of getting the beads correctly in, which is a very different process to getting then out.

They are now spreading, very, very fast.

Mice.....Don't make me laugh. Glis Glis. Wait untill they spread to your area. Then you will know what real world problems are. Those buggers have chewed threw 18mm sterling board at my place. My neighbour has caught 68 in his loft in the last year. For the local licenced guy to come and dispatch them it's £40 a go !!! If you leave your door open, the little blighters will just wonder in like they own the place.

I have nothing good to say about council planning. All tossers.

Great for you to be out of the ground.

Tidy up, you messy "ard" git

Zoot. I know you are in the wild west Wales somewhere, but it can't be good for your health to be bloody freezing all the time. Don't you have any heating fella ?

Is the moat planned ? Are you very, very posh ?

I will follow this with interest as i am just doing my own posh shed

I am currently building my posh shed as per my previous post.. When my house is finished, i will turn it into something else like either a gym, or a home office etc. I'm trying to think of all the things i should think about. Telephone line. Internet socket. Co-ax for T.V. It will have a shower, and a toilet, and sink. I might also put a cctv camera of each corner, and some external lights. I'm not very tech savy, but perhaps it would be nice if the external lights could be turned on and off with the external lights on the house, and the garage. So for instance, if you were in the house, you could turn on the exterior house lights, the gym lights, and the garage lights, rather than having to go to each building. The lights will be low voltage, and quite possibly LED ribbon lights in a housing in the soffit of each building. Thanks in advance for any help.

Such a shame you have nasty neighbours. Is the work you intend to do in your worksphop, hobby work, or work you will make money from it ? If it is just something you do for a hobby you would have far less potential restrictions re noise , neighbours, councils, etc.

I know you are right, just want to get on. Waited so long to get started. yeah, i've got loads of trees to deal with aswell. I'm currently watching some rubbish on the telly about going on a cruise. I could do that in the garden if i had a boat.
