  1. Nice research...maybe aluminium tape could be your new best friend?
  2. 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
  3. I took a flake of paint to the valspar mixy place at B&Q and it was perfect Quick and easy
  4. Sell it on Gumtree?
  5. Get the nail gun out... solid , quick and you could hang off a batten like an Olympic gymnast
  6. 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???
  7. 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
  9. Yep that's how I'd do it... I got 10% extra and had nothing left, was just perfect amount.
  10. 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
  11. Very close to a barn dance party it looks...
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. EPDM...cheapish...dead easy. ..100% finish and forget.
  17. I bet you're pleased. It looks great and will last forever
  18. Don't know if this will help re Q3 and 5 but what I did was make a frame from 4*2 that was 10mm smaller all around than the window. The cill and the head were at a 22.5 degree angle for rain run off. I cheek screwed this from the inner face through to the studs around the window. Long decking screws as they were angled about 45 degrees. This meant the window/OSB join was covered by this frame and was also the external reveal. The cladding was butted up to this frame . Sealed it using bog standard mastic. There's a decent pic on my blog if you zoom in on the gable windows. There was no need for a head on the other windows as they were tucked up under the eaves and never going to get wet. Hope this makes sense
  19. This help? http://www.gov.scot/Publications/2002/03/15098/8744
  20. Email your local university engineering dept? Na forget that stupid idea. I'm in Glasgow so could pop into Strathclyde uni as an email might land on deaf ears Pop in or phone your local one, might strike gold.
  21. Heard the one about the wild dog St large. Postman filled in the required long form explaining why the Royal Mail were failing to deliver and sent it to the customer service department. Who promptly WROTE a letter explaining the householder should get their dog under control!!
  22. Heatwave on Tuesday Get the prosecco in the fridge
  23. Google says 65p for cable per kilo or 3,25 if it's just the copper
