    Drawer carcass thickness

    Thanks guys. Didn't really think about it at the time - prior preparation and all that 😂 I was wondering if I could put some noggins in, on the other side of the MDF carcass (there's room for it and will be hidden) which I can then screw the runner into through the MDF, but maybe it's best just...

    Drawer carcass thickness

    Hi all, Apologies if this is in the wrong section. I'm making some drawers to go in my workshop under the workbench and just after some advice. The proposed drawers are to be 850mm wide by 600mm, and 120/190mm deep (2 of each), made out of 15/18mm ply. I've bought heavy duty runners (rated to...

    Another Insulation Post

    Hi Woody, I see your point, I'll go with the original plan then. You're absolutely right though, all the new builds across the road have OSB exteriors and then cladding or some sort of rendering on them. If it can go a good few years I can accept that. The next workshop will just have to be...

    Another Insulation Post

    Thanks for the posts guys! Based on what you've said Mike, would it help at all to drill a small ventilation hole in each cavity, just above the noggins (being careful not to penetrate the membrane), so that if/when any moisture does build up behind the outer layer of OSB, it can evaporate...

    Thanks Mike, It's my first project and safe to say I have made a few mistakes but definitely learnt some lessons. I shall have to go down the preventative route as Woody suggested. I'm not sure about heating it during the winter at this point in time (although I know will still be cold in the...

    Another Insulation Post

    Hi W2S, Thanks for the quick reply! Ok that's good to know, I suddenly had a panic thinking that the outer layer of OSB would cause me problems in the future by trapping moisture, but panic over :D My plan as you say would be to use OSB internally, with insulation of some description in...

    Another Insulation Post

    Hi guys, Just me again. I've pretty much finished my workshop now, and starting to look to the inside construction, but first I have a couple of questions: 1) The wall construction is (outer to inner): featheredge cladding, battens, breathable membrane, OSB, stud framework (no insulation or...

    uPVC Beading Pushing Frame Out

    Hi Woody2Shoes, Thanks for the reply! I've managed to fix it now. In my error I had glazed the middle window with the side windows open. When I banged the beading in, it had bowed the window frame out, preventing me from closing the side windows. Just gave the frame a tap back in and it was...

    uPVC Beading Pushing Frame Out

    Hi all, I'm almost at the end of my workshop build now, but I'm having an issue with my upvc window. Months ago, I bought a window second hand, although in good condition (not far off new). It's about 2440x1340mm, and has 2 side opening windows and a normal one in the middle. Anyway, my mrs...

    Felt and Underlay

    Hi all, Thanks for all the advice. In the end I've decided on a felt underlay (sand finish) with a mineral felt capsheet. Weather's turned a bit pants now, so my next question :D is how damp can OSB3 be to put the felt down with bitumen adhesive and clout nails? I've seen various comments on...

    Felt and Underlay

    Hi guys, Many thanks for the responses. This is my first build so apologies for my ignorance on the subject, and apologies as I don't think I've explained the initial post very well. I've put down some OSB board on the rafters which is 11mm thick. The shed is a wedge shape, and so the pitch...

    Felt and Underlay

    Hi all, Another question in the workshop build. I've just finished laying OSB over the rafters and I'm now ready to lay the breathable membrane. The plan is to lay Vent 3 underlay felt, then put mineral felt on top of this. Just looking to confirm if the following method is correct: lay the...
