A new level that fits in the new toolbag... still deciding on organisation and still lots of stuff to go in

Very nice! Reminds me to sort out my tool bag again as it’s become stupidly heavy again.

Just setup my new TV.

Looks stunning, the clarity seems so much better, I don’t know if it is or psychological or actually better.

Hopefully should get me some frames on CS:GO?

Loft boards and loft legs for the boards

Do those just get screwed into the joist below? Easy enough job to do yourself? How is the board fixed to the leg?

And it looks like quite a bit of spare clearance, can't imagine many people having enough insulation to warrant the leg being that tall.

I did. 20% off code helped somewhat, plus 12 year warranty. I spend at least 8 hours a day at my desk so I figure it’s worth it.

What’s it like after a few days of use for up to 8-9 hours? I’ve read they get progressively less comfortable? I’m looking into a new chair due to the incessant creaking of my current one and would rather go big money wise once than keep buying.

I've only had it 24 hours so probably too early to tell. I'm happy so far.

You can get 200mm legs but they'd have been compacting the insulation down, we've got two layers of insulation so it's pretty thick.

But yeah, just screw down into the joists, then lay and screw the board on top of the legs.

Am I getting it wrong or is doing this horrifically expensive?

Depends if you value storage space.

Under building regs 270mm is the current minimum depth so 200mm high supports wont cut it.

they are the most overpriced tool bags ive ever seen in my life.

what makes them so expensive out of interest?

How deep are the joist though? Going to add at least 70mm in most houses.

Guess that cost £24, unless you need to buy screws.

The 200mm ones would be on the joists, so would be 200mm plus the joist depth, guess it depends how deep your insulation is.

I wanted more clearance as the 200mm ones would have been touching the insulation in various places

Again depends on the house. In mine the joists are only 150mm in the loft so to bring mine up to current building regs I would need a minimum of 120mm. Dont forget building regs is just a minimum and there are good gains to be had by going more.

At the moment i have 200mm insulation laid between the joists and 200mm laid the opposite direction on top so would need 250mm legs.

200sols · 19 Feb 2021 at 17:25

I like the loft legs, good product to ensure the insulation still does its job. The same people also make loft lids for downlights to stop any issues with the insulation.

Same, hence me requiring the larger ones
