the subject.
Now is your chance to inform the group of how it should be done. Please

The trick is to stay in business ... (slightly OT)
Mon, 11 Aug 2008 01:04:27 +0100
Following on from the thread on the Cwedit Cwunch where MH asked how it was
affecting us all, here is a good example of how people don't help
themselves.
On Saturday, I was doing a job in my kitchen that I am refitting, and needed
a bit of bog standard planed 2x2. About a metre was enough. We have a
hardwar ...

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Huge <Huge@nowhere.much.invalid>
saying something like:

>Really? Why would you pay any attention to that fat lying shit?

wood treatment
Sun, 10 Aug 2008 21:20:21 +0100
I have a new house that's partly clad with Douglas Fir (just over a half at
a guess). The developer said that the cladding would last about 10 years.
I hate to think of the expense to re-clad the house but I can't believe that
if it is looked after it should last a lot longer. When it was raining
yesterday I ...

Suspended ground floor with chipboard flooring
Sun, 10 Aug 2008 10:47:56 -0700 (PDT)
We have a 10yr old house with suspended ground floor of T&G chipboard.
The chipboard is extremely creaky at the joints. There is no evidence
of any securing to joists (no nails or screws). Quite typically for a
modern house, but quite inconveniently, the flooring was fitted before
the internal partition walls so i ...

boiler output: how many btu's do I need?
Sun, 10 Aug 2008 14:54:47 GMT
Hello,
When fitting a boiler, how do I work out what output the boiler should
have? I can add up the rating of the radiators to give the power
needed for the central heating but what do I add for the hot water?
Also do I add a fraction to compensate for losses?
Thanks.
Stephen. ...

We have two problems that I believe are the shower:
Firstly, on certain positions of the temperature control (from cold to
hot), it makes a very high pitched noise unless moved to another
position - this noise is enough to wake other people. Any Ideas?
Secondly there has been a strange fishy smell in the bath ...

Any problems raising a joist floor by 80mm?
Sun, 10 Aug 2008 03:46:50 -0700 (PDT)
I want to raise the height of the joists in a bedroom floor so that it
comes level with the landing, at the moment you have to step down onto
it. I intend to just add an 80mm depth baton on to each joist and
reattach the planks on top of that. Is there any problem with doing
this, for example will it contravene an ...
