how have you done the ceiling around the roller shutter top box? assuming you have a ceiling.....

I've had 3 grab lorries this year already and couldn't face the carnage. I didn't think to phone them and ask how much they would pay me for it all 😁. If it does a wheelie, or the bottom falls out i will post pictures.

use normal radiators instead of fancy designer vertical ones. I also wish id gone down the 2 slimline dishwasher route.

Brilliant, when i phoned them to enquire they asked what was going in it, So i said 'just bricks' and she replied £200 cash so i jumped on it and didn't think to ask about weight etc.. as the other place round here said £235 +VAT 😆

Today ive been knocking down a decent sized brick wall and filled a 4 yard skip very neatly with all of the bricks. Then it dawned on me that maybe the skip wagon might not be able to lift it or the floor of the skip might give way, i did mention to them on the phone it was getting full of brick, Will the driver actually take it or do you think they will ask me to unload it? This is the first skip ive ever had.

Mine came folded up but had come a bit loose so was all floppy. Think mine was 6.4 x 5.1M i just built a ramp and winched it up with my recovery truck as i was knackered from building the roof.

they do those rubber joiners like in badgerbodger's post in big sizes like you need. I bought one by mistake a few weeks ago from a builders merchant. Although if it were me i would just put mortar around it like the other one, id probably put some SBR in the mortar too.

you are going to be in the realms of industrial roller doors at that width. that will give the the 77mm high slats in the door. you could look at sectional garage doors too as they take up less headroom above the door. i just bought a 2.7m one from roller door uk for £900. lucky you want black as that is a standard (cheaper) colour. permaroof epdm stuff is good, i like the gutter edge trim as it looks nice when done, although it is an absolute pig to fit. call them as you will get a better price ( my online quote was just under £1200 and after a phone call it was £680 delivered). you can not bother with contact adhesive for the side and just use the deck glue. A piece that big is going to be heavy so remember to eat 3 shredded wheat that morning 😁

China is the land of the EV. shame they have yet to figure out panel gaps. they will all be in the scrap yard in 5 years time though.

i like gyproc easi fill 60 but its a powder you have to mix up. these are good Silverline Body Filler Application Set 4 Pcs - Screwfix just sand the sharp corners off them if your a novice. the screwfix own brand filler in the small tubs is decent. my entire living room is basically crafted out the stuff as the mongs that lived here before seemed to love using drawing pins to attach Christmas decorations and cards all over the walls so they were full of small holes. i also like these Fast Mover Tools, Foam Hand Sanding Block, Soft, 150mm : Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools with mirka gold DA discs. but if you have a DA with extract then use abranet discs on it.

I can understand why you would grind it down if you had an exact floor height to work too. I'm lucky in that it only needs to be the height of the driveway that isn't going to happen till next year so i can easily build it upwards. i did have a quick look around google last night and saw that sikaflex stuff, guess im pouring £300 on the floor.

I meant leveller. i think im going to use a resin top coat.

which brand/ product would you recommend? ive only ever used screwfix own brand or mapei where you mix it with water.

Angle grinder with a cup brush did the trick to remove a lot of the top layer, after about 60 seconds i couldn't see as far as my arms due to the dust, so it was slow progress. could do with some rain to wash all the neighbours houses off 😄 the everbuild 403 says 5L covers 25 SQM of floor and want 2 coats 24 hours apart, so I bought 3 bottles, I managed an area the size of a supermarket car parking space with the first bottle so have had to order some more, seems they do a 25L barrel so went for that. Yesterdays coating has done a really good job, i rubbed it with my shoe and no dust came up, todays coating didn't absorb as much straight away but will see what its like tomorrow.

well the everbuild stuff was delivered about 8 am this morning. which is mad as i bought it about 1 pm yesterday. ive got a broom that i bought from the poundshop that is solid like a scrubbing brush so will go and blast it with that. ive a bit of an agreement with my neighbour that i wont make noise before 10.
