  1. Might help: https://www.familyhandyman.com/garden-structures/garden-paths/how-to-build-a-wooden-boardwalk/
  2. Bad enough on flat ground. Even with a tractor mounted, pto driven auger the driver might not want to risk that slope.
  3. Man up, hand job. How easy is the soil to dig?
  4. Meant to say I've ordered one thanks. I'll be getting some training and buying some ppe before I even pull the cord though!
  5. Well the cupboard ceiling has dried like a ploughed field! ? Tf for Easy Fill.
  6. https://www.easygatesdirect.co.uk/store/gate-safety-guide/gate-safety-legislation
  7. Ta. I've read too much cot can cause the plaster to crack. I'll do the wall where the pipe/valve is tonight and the opposing bit above the door. Got to grab one of those internal corner trowels. Mate who I borrowed one off is away.
  8. Ta. Cream of tartar...me being super slow... Is there a per kilo amount you can add if only mixing small quantities? For the cupboard ceiling and thin strip above the door I mixed 2.5kg of multi to 1.2l water and slung in a teaspoon of cot.
  9. Just when they thought it safe to go into the bathroom... @nod, that 6" vertical strip on the left is where a tapered edge butts up to a square cut edge. I've meshed over it but should I fill first with Easy Fill before plastering? Ta.
  10. Just leave a robo mower on the roof?
  11. Content filter's working as it should by the sounds of things! ?
  12. As you descend the stairs is there a full height window directly in front? Doesn't that allow the building's "energy" to flow out of the house according to the principles of Feng shui? (As in a curved path to the front of a house is better than a straight one).
  13. I would have thought the solution was obvious...
  14. Deep pockets? Sageglass:
  15. Price reduced here: https://www.ergonomicdesigns.co.uk/product/RKRFXGW~rak-feeling-slimline-90mm-shower-waste.html
  16. Mate has one and he's built it a "kennel" where it goes back to bed & charge. An astro turfed table lift that sits level with the lawn is on his wish list.
  17. There was a thread on here somewhere ref the off gassing of such materials I think. I'm sure MVHR helps greatly in getting rid of that "new build" smell and any accompanying nasties. Not sure though I'd want to live in there if it was noxious. Guess earth wools and cellulose are friendlier in that sense.
  18. So you did this yourself? No offence but it doesn't look filled to the full joist depth. Is that an issue? Or had it not expanded in the photos? Is that why very little cutting back?
  19. How are you going to know how wide & deep to make your footings or whether you need to pile etc without employing an architectural technician and/or structural engineer? Some guidance on the process here: https://www.homebuilding.co.uk/foundation-systems-and-soil-types/
  20. The 3 compartment ones are what you see in offices. You can though inlay carpet, tiles etc: https://www.cef.co.uk/catalogue/categories/floor-boxes-cavity-floor-boxes
  21. News to me, I'm an advocate of the puffer.
  22. £16.36 spent on an 8GB compact flash card and 2.5" ide adapter. I presume I need to image the HDD I want to put on the cf card.
  23. If there's a screed going down won't that retain the spine laterally?
