  1. I have a couple of high chairs which my kids have really well used. I am look to refresh them. they are currently wooden and painted grey but they have really worn now. i would like to refresh the paint on them and put some sort of lacquer on them can anyone help me? what paint and lacquer can we use? i ask as its for my kids and want to make sure they would be food safe. ideally water based paints too
  2. Excellent thanks would something like this do? https://www.selcobw.com/spax-yellox-wood-screws-5-x-80mm-pack-200
  3. Just digging this up again with the amount of insulation i have i have derided to use 4x2 it gives me plenty of height without loosing too much headroom. what would be the best way to screw them down through the side at an angle or straight down? are there any recommended screws to use?
  4. I am looking to DIY install Air Con at my property and wouldn't know where to begin. The Dimensions of the rooms are Bedroom 1 4.555m x 3.379m Bedroom 2 5.115m x 2.626m Bedroom 3 4.252m x 2.626m Bedroom 4 4.256m x 3.379m Living Room 4.775m x 4.336m is anyone able to guide me? what should i be looking at?
  5. OK great thanks for all your advice its really helping. I keep hearing about issues with condensation is there anything i need to be weary about?
  6. OK i have been leaning towards this but the timber from what i can see is really expensive, where did you buy it from and how did you fix it to the beams? did you jut screw through them into the beam? more importantly what do i do with the insulation? simply put the 200mm i have in the tracks i make?
  7. which 200 x 50mm timber did you use i would imagine that becoming very expensive?
  8. Hi All I really love that this community exists and i can ask for advice I am looking to board my Loft to use as storage/server room. i have been looking at my options and can really do with some advice. so what i know so far is that i would like to board the whole loft this is to keep the dust levels down. the size would be approx 12m x 7m. i have from what i can see 200mm of insulation up there and this has been the focus of my attention. I know that i have to raise the floor so that it doesn't crush the insulation. but this is where i am torn. I am unsure if i should use Loft legs a and place 18mm Caber T&G on top. or should I use timber to build a frame to put the floor on? the house was built in 2000 and the existing beams up there look to be 4 x 2s. i can screw the loft legs to them and place the floor on top. or i can build another 4 x 2 frame in the other direction and use that. what would be best for me to do and how would i manage the insulation? with the loft legs there is no issue its going to raise it above and i have no issues. but if i go down the timber frame route i have to consider the insulation as its 200mm so i will need to maybe replace it for 100mm in one direction and 100mm in the other? my issue with the loft legs is how sturdy will the floor be on the legs? im unsure about which way to proceed but also don't want to pay a fortune. i have already got a Fakro Loft Ladder which i can fit. Some advice would be great
