....Wouldn't you just love to carefully remove and disassemble them in order route a decent draft excluder profile in the rebate. I hate these afterthought add-ons that nearly always fail.

I've searched for this colleagues but cannot find a result as such, but for the purposes of shed/workshop building and planning height, my planning guide refers to a pitch roof (4m max) and flat roof (3m max). I'm not worried about size and distance from house/highway so have no planning issues...

Georgian sash windows: In terms of wood type, what were they made from? Any ideas? I've been told oak, but I still would have though pine. What forests covered the British Isles during this period?

Well I've been spraying various mdf furniture components I've made in my makeshift paint booth and get left with a load of water soluble and solvent based waste after every cleanup. At the bottom of my garden I have a sump where lots of this is dumped but am a little dissatisfied with this...

Anyone done this? Having treated some joists before replacing floorboards of a first floor bedroom (In US this is the second floor) am looking to provide some acoustic and thermal insulation without causing a ventilation problem to the joists. How have members approached this? Suggestions...

I am slightly jealous :lol: How many does he need?!!!

...do some homeowners/builders/contractors leave their cigarette ends under the floorboards? Just started sorting out another room and found countless resting under various planks. I don't have anything against smokers and their addictive habit, but why do that? Is it a right of passage for...

Well given the publicity over the weekend, and having a load of Triton stuff from other sources, I thought I'd go straight to the horse's mouth and try out Tritontools.co.uk, ordering some accessories for my 2000 Workstation in the process as well as some cheap backup power tools. Here are my...

I want to make some interior solid panel shutters using mdf for the panel and painting the lot to suit the room. What would be a suitably inexpensive but stable solution for the frame - say 3/4x1? It seems to me that the stuff Wickes and Co throw out wood warp in seconds. Maybe I could use...

....or frames for tarpaulins Anyone know of any or can link to a thread in here? This weather is just getting me down and I like to do all my MDF cutting outside

Good luck for the next, and hopefully last, precipitous onslaught! :(

Okay, on the floor of my front bedroom I have some lovely original Victorian 7"-ish floorboards. 1) I don't want to hire out a floor sander to clean them up and remove old paint etc, I'd rather do things properly, pull them all up, de-nail, make good and put them through some sort of planer...

If people are unsure what I'm referring to see the Trend version below: I need to get one of theses as a home made version slips a little, but what's everyone else using for remote jobs away from a router table?

I know this is mainly a woodworking site but I reckon some of you are expert enough to have wideranging views and experiences of general DIY/Building work. Does anyone know of a decent brand to buy? I could go to Wickes and get a mixer off the shelf for £200 but it is any good? I don't want to...
