We had ants nesting in the walls, we suspect 3 or 4 separate colonies. I tried and powder and it worked but a few weeks later they came back. Ended up paying a guy about £300 to drill holes in the wall and put treatment in there. With the good weather coming around soon I guess we'll find...

just a thought, most carpet fitters don't own space rockets.

I saw an interview with Vowles and he was talking a little bit about Lewis. Comparing Lewis to other drivers, by the time Lewis had done his 2nd practice lap he had tinkered with every setting on the wheel which was a nightmare from a data perspective, but it seems that is just what Lewis does...

Not having much luck on there sadly :( I'll give it a look thanks :)

Where is the best place to advertise a tank for sale? I've got a 400l tank and stand which I'm reluctantly shutting down asap

only picture I have is one the missus took when she had just finished a night shift

patio is roughly 12m x 5m and 15 years old. not a chance I'm lifting it and relaying :p

Just cleaned my patio over the weekend which I have put off doing due to previous owner filling the gaps in with gravel instead of mortar. As expected the gravel went everywhere whilst pressure washing. So I am thinking of doing it myself. The only issue being the size of the gaps, is this too...

Joiner told me he could fit about 6/7 in a day between 2 of them, not sure what his daily rate is now but most other trades are wanting £250 per day. So around £500 for 6/7 doors

kind of, if its a trussed roof, then the entire truss forms a structure, the ceiling joist is actually the bottom chord of the truss, so the joist has more inherent strength than if it were a simple standalone ceiling joist. Obviously this only applies if it is irregular access for storage, I'm...

additional layers of "soft" insulation should be laid at 90 degrees to the original. Loft legs are ok if its only storage. I'm (very) heavy and the loft legs I've used seem to hold me just fine when I'm moving around up in the loft. I will say that these loft legs, flex and move a lot more...

In our current house the stud walls are built using 4 sheets of plasterboard sandwiched together with the odd 2x2 thrown in.

Yeh that wall only needs a handful of studs that's easily doable by hand if you don't want to be too spendy.

yeh they have a chief technical engineer who specialised in ground effect

yeh jigsaws aren't really designed to do this kind of work.

I would remove the noggins and then fill and paint the wall on the other side. Pita but full height studs would be better, if you don't fancy that then the previous suggestion of fitting half height studs in-between the noggins is OK. As for the question about spacers, just screw them to...

just sister the existing studs, then use packers/spacers on the top/bottom plate. You'll have it done this way in 2 hours or less if you crack on

10mm is nothing, if you're really bothered then you could just put new studs into the existing wall that overhang the baseplate and/or top plate by 10mm. Personally I wouldn't bother though for 10mm,

How much is it out by?

cant help but feel like Max was coasting there at the end, once he got 20 seconds on Perez his lead didn't seem to increase at all.
