    Ah! the UA-cam algorithm sometime throws us an unexpected delight every now and then. Left home as a boy to come to London, and I really miss the Norfolk accent. A real pleasure to hear it spoken..a rare find on UA-cam….wishing the young lad here all the best in his filming and diy adventures!

    Hi and thanks for your excellent tuitions they are really good to understand. Question I have an old but very reliable system....Baxi Back Boiler cylinder in loft along with header tank and now because of disability I don’t/can’t use the bath all our showers are electric So we are heating up a large cylinder for nothing which is costing. I want to stick a gate valve on the input to the cylinder coil would the heating still run doing it it there if not where. Thank you so much in anticipation

    Perfect timing... Just about to create a 7.2x 3.6 workshop/gym and not sure whether to just create a timber insulated base 150-200mm thick and sit it on pads, our "soil" is hard packed sand/gravel fluvioglacial till (utter nightmare to dig it) so if I decide to concrete it it'll just be setting up the formwork on top of that as Type1 won't be needed!! (I've got a crappy 6x8 shed sitting in the way I 've cleared all around it and need it up on skids to try and shunt it out the way first... got a Tirfor winch thing and will use the car tow point as an anchor lol)

    Top tip for old shed demo if you don't have a digger. Cut through ¾ of supports (using chainsaw, recip, hand saw, etc.) and push it over or pull with ropes. Much easier/quicker to complete demo when it's around your feet, and safer as you don't need to work off a ladder. Just remember to remove any glass first.
    Edit: if a friend says they want the old shed, tell them it's been condemned if they're not going to remove it themselves 😂

    Cameron, have you got a death wish? Going inside a shed held together by nowt and shoving the bugger around. You gingers are in short supply, stop trying to narrow the odds :) Seriously tho, that was a good day's work, well worth the sherbert at the end. Keen to see the ground being laid, we get all the guys who do drive ways around here and they are all jack of no trades types. Want to see how it's properly done. As for the workshop, maybe some electrical work, make it a station for any CCTV you install, that sort of thing.

    How much concrete you going for, if 150 I will shut up 😃

    • @TheDIYGuy1
      @TheDIYGuy1  Рік тому +1

      It’s 100mm type 1 hardcore compacted, 20mm blinding compacted, DPM, Rebar and spacers, 100mm c24 concrete. Been building them like this for years with not a single issue so I’m happy it will be sufficient.
