Welcome MAB, out of interest why that name? Is it like madly ambitious builder? Mendacious altruistic brexiteer .. Or what?

Good to hear of your progress. Exciting times ahead!?

It's midgy free but a lot of wasps!

I hate mine too. Can you not swap it for a sensor type...@Prodave

Like the idea of playing Mendelssohn's music at full blast ( earphones) while approaching the cave .on my tick list ... jealous Or as an ex para, ride of the Valkyries

Gas nail gun...made building my timber hut a fun and quick experience.

I'm sure you've seen this but I'm case not, some useful documents http://www.preston.gov.uk/yourservices/planning/conservation-and-heritage/conservation-areas/fulwood-conservation-area/

Hey Nod, Are you in one of these areas... Article 4 Directions Householders can normally make minor alterations to their houses without requiring planning permission such as changing doors or windows. This is called 'permitted development'. However in some conservation areas we have removed these 'permitted development rights' by making an Article 4 Direction. The conservation areas affected are: Avenham Fishergate Hill Fulwood St. Ignatius

Nice research...maybe aluminium tape could be your new best friend?

Russ I don't know but from previous answers to similar questions... You'll need planning permission for your new build...ergo you need to read read read the local plan and speak to planning You'll also need permission to demolish and think about services/access etc Good luck

I took a flake of paint to the valspar mixy place at B&Q and it was perfect Quick and easy

Sell it on Gumtree?

Get the nail gun out... solid , quick and you could hang off a batten like an Olympic gymnast

I think we have been spared this in glorious Scotia *hopes he does* since we have an abundance of the wet stuff. In the future I see Victorian scale infrastructure projects pumping fresh highland water to the south in exchange for tariff free imports of fine crockery complete with images of young George the cute. Water may well be the new oil..I'm serious???

Not sure I understand the problem, where is the bath? This tool let's you grab the tap locking nut and squeeze your hand between the bath and wall if it's a typical bath. Maybe a good smear of plumbers paste between the taps and the bath and go for hand tight...

Still tricky, watch the skin on your knuckles

Yep that's how I'd do it... I got 10% extra and had nothing left, was just perfect amount.

I think all the experts say treat before installation. More work but better results . Means you can grade the boards too and put the best ones on top and the dodgy ones behind... Best ones for your main elevation Seconds for the gables Thirds for behind the top boards And forth ripped for battens or the fire

Very close to a barn dance party it looks...

I'd say as low as possible while retaining weather proofing. What type of door? Mine are upvc which come in a frame. Don't like the trip hazard as it's so high even with 25mm flooring inside which reduces the height...it's still around 40mm

It's a job application that I have to upload to a wetransfer account but it's not edited yet. Can I download from YouTube

On it Thanks

Hi forum, Need to see a video my youngest made on her new (S6) Samsung phone. File is too large to email...any offers of a solution

Birds don't eat my roof but it has happened...see http://articles.philly.com/1990-09-09/news/25878865_1_roof-membrane-roofing-resources-birds

EPDM...cheapish...dead easy. ..100% finish and forget.
