• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

    Post a photo of the last thing you made...

    Made this for my wife, a tote to carry her gardening hand implements around. We agreed we would make each other gifts for Christmas this year. She made me some duck themed paintings based on famous masterpieces. The tote is a bit crude and made from scrap but my first attempt at a few things...

    Carrying plasterboard

    Thanks Jeremy, the wheeled dolly I bought worked well, but I have a homemade one of those carriers I use for sheets of ply and osb. I got 100mm plasterboard screws from Screwfix in the end. Currently (very slowly) cutting the insulation to fit between the noggins…

    Carrying plasterboard

    All sorted thanks all. Ended up getting a little two wheel dolly and it worked a treat. Plus some extra long plasterboard screws. Now just cutting and fitting the individual pieces of insulation between the noggins.

    Carrying plasterboard

    Thanks Mike, I have been using an online u value calculator to work out what materials I need in layers and keep coming up with variations. One was 80mm PIR separate from the plasterboard as opposed to the 35mm plasterboard/PIR combo that the builder had used. It’s a proper conundrum at the moment.

    Carrying plasterboard

    Hi Mike, The only reason i was going to use the PIR bonded plasterboard was because that's what the builder had used and i have ripped out due to the leaks. It's 9.5mm plasterboard with 25.5mm of PIR on it. However its quite a complex flat roof due to re-using an older structure that was in...

    I haven’t started yet, Mike, what would you suggest to attach plasterboard for a ceiling?

    Carrying plasterboard

    Thanks all will look at making a dolly and enlisting Mrs Woodstalkers muscles. Looks like I might end up with standard plasterboard and separate PIR insulation sheets depending on the cost.

    Carrying plasterboard

    Thanks all, yes Cabinetman the boards with 80mm of insulation stuck on the back. Roger I always give the heavy end to someone else.

    Carrying plasterboard

    Morning all, Longtime no post, sorry been pretty hectic undoing a load of “work” my builder had done and redoing it in a way that the roof doesn’t catastrophically leak. I need to re fit an insulated plasterboard ceiling, I have a plasterboard lift to get each sheet up to the joists but I am...

    Fence posts

    I just fixed my fence where the posts had rotted out using concrete fence spurs, they have worked really well and are totally solid. Got mine from here which was a lot cheaper than other places I looked at and their “postcrete” has aggregate in it which I think sets a lot stronger...

    Acetone

    Hi Vaj, yes thanks, there are none local to me and the mail order places wanted £30 postage so I was trying to avoid that.

    Shed Permitted Development Rights

    Anyone know if these have changed? My friend has asked for some help to build a large shed in their field and I have read these rules for domestic sheds: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5d77afc8e5274a27cdb2c9e9/190910_Tech_Guide_for_publishing.pdf#page41 Technically the field...

    Anyone seen lead do this?

    So I stripped the lead off yesterday. Copper nails used to fix it but the passivated screws used to fix the battens and plywood down seem to have reacted really badly. Will rebuild the roof now with all the grp trims then coat it all tomorrow morning whilst it is cooler. It’s an odd roof...

    Acetone

    Importantly my first grp roof appears to have gone ok so I have stripped the roof off the bay window that was leaking. Pics of the lead in my other thread on the issue I had with it.

    Acetone

    Needed some acetone to clean off a grp roof I am redoing. Bought a kit to do the roof that included “everything” needed for 10m2 but when it arrived it did not include the acetone which the company sold but to get it would be £31 delivery. Been all over Salisbury looking for some at builders...

    Post a photo of the last thing you made...

    It’s a Triton 450W Oscillating Spindle & Belt Sander - TSPST450. It’s ok, needs better dust extraction I think.
