    Another vote for the makita, I've owned mine for quite some time and I'm very happy with it.

    Pent roof workshop/shed planning

    If I were to be building any garden building now, I'd either use the SIP's as previously suggested, or I'd go with the metal insulated panels like they use on industrial buildings. They come in a range of colours as well as insulation depths so you can get decent insulation with decent strength...

    Severance negotiations

    This seems an odd situation, I'm a senior manager in a site over over 800, and a business employing 10k+. I've also handled many disciplinary and redundancy meetings. Personally, if I'm aware of someone applying, or interviewing elsewhere, my first thought is always, "why, and what could we do...

    Now I like Bosch pro, but there's a limit...

    Aesthetics aside, the soles look very supporting and comfortable. Function over form in this instance?

    Kitchen floooring recommendations

    Hi guys, I'm in the middle of a house extension, whereby I'll be increasing the size of my kitchen. I'm just looking for some general advice for which style of flooring you would recommend alongside and watch outs to be aware of. The new part of the kitchen will be levelled with self levelling...

    Construction adhesive?

    I had one of these garages a few years back. For attaching things to the wall, we used angle iron bolted through. However, if you wish to avoid that, I'd use the gripfill original. And maybe bolt a base plate to the floor, and screw the header onto the roof rafters for additional strength?

    Bloody cold shed!

    Have you considered one of the diesel heaters? They run from 12v and are relatively cheap to run. I have one in my 3 metre by 6 metre workshop and it really does blow out a lot of heat and keeps it very warm. I do have insulation in there as well.

    Block plane wanted

    Hey guys, any advice on a decent block plane? I've not been particularly lucky when it comes to ebay so I'm avoiding that avenue. Or maybe someone has an old one (or spare) they're looking to offload? Currently I use the Stanley number 4 but obviously this isn't the best things in most...

    18v tool brand choice

    SWA cable depth

    Great detail thank you, could you tell me what conduit you used? So far, I think the previous owner built a house in the back garden, no more than 2 inches down and I'm finding more bricks than ever. At least it'll keep me well exercised.

    SWA cable depth

    My garden is a pain, so many bricks and rubble buried out there. Oh well, as for length, it will be approx 20 metres from inside consumer unit to the small garage unit. Highest rated tool is my triton TRA001 router, I believe it's quoted as 2.5 kwatts

    SWA cable depth

    I'm having a new electrical feed to my garage and was looking for some advice on the depth the tench needs to be? Currently there is an old 2.5mm 3 core feed but I'm moving it up to 6mm 3 core (not doing it myself, I'll leave that to the professional). I will only be running 2 socket radials...

    Advice for loft insulation

    Hi Dibs, appreciate your time and response thank you. The roof does have breathable membrane, it was re-roofed only 2 weeks back. I realise I missed the perfect opportunity to sort the insulation out at the same time but it's my mistake and have to live with it. The roof is battened but not...

    Advice for loft insulation

    Hi guys, I've been pondering on which option to take with regards my loft for insulation. House is a mid 30s build with some odd design features. The roof joists (if you can call them that) are a mere 2 5/8 x 1 5/8 inches. The ceiling joists are a little larger at 3 x 2 7/8 inches and they are...

    Garage/workshop floor slab repair

    I had a similar issue in my garage, it's roughly the same size as yours (approx 8 metre X 4 metre), it's a concrete block built garage that had a really rough/uneven floor and water ingress from the outside floor level at the walls as well as up through various spots in the floor. I looked...

    Anyone else noticed

    If its a one off, it could be because the service went down in the area. We've had it locally before where a number of shops all lost their access to card payments at the same time.
