In reality for an all out nuclear war we are still talking of Russia who have a large enough arsenal . In likelihood I still think Putin be?ieves he can win in Ukraine by conventional means. China I tend to rule out as being the aggressor in this scenerio although I think they would retaliate if att...

My daughter's boyfriend tested positive last week. First time he'd caught it as well and he was rough for a couple of days but seems ok now. Arzosah , funny you should mention rats peeing over pallets of goods. Way back in the early 80's at college as apprentice carpenters we were told not to put na...

Well if you've already brought the stuff then any advice there is a bit of a stable door and horse situation. Personally I don't buy from B&Q , at least not their timber. The timber you have brought sounds ok for what you want to do. I don't know what tools you have but a circular saw and a powe...

Nowt wrong with being frugal. Some say I'm as frugal as a duck's ,erm , back end. Sounds like you've got the process sorted. Basically the same process as I've done with buildings but with the advantage that the timbers are easier to work with. Nothing like a 16 ft peice of semi green oak at anythin...

Just t add a plan C Fek it off , chop it up for firewood and get a new shed.. I say this because from time to time I will have someone phone me up asking about repairing a shed. It's rarely worth the expense for them unless it's a large shed with a relatively small repair. Granted you won't be facto...

A couple of years ago a customer asked me about moving a couple of sheds , well stable field shelters to be exact. They had to be moved about 200yards so I levered them up and placed round fence posts underneath and with a little bit of help in the muscle department we moved them with relative ease....

Incidentally , perhaps it was this thread and the discussion about slotted screws but this week I had a job to upcycle a couple of tables and consciously made the decision to use slots rather than pozis...

If you aim to do the new base in sections you should be able to replace the floor without raising the shed more than a couple of inches. It's basically the same as underpinning a house. Cut the floor in situ then knock in a few wedges to lift the sides up a little leaving a section the size of the p...

You've got to remember that not all pallets are created equal. The best ones for 'project' wood are the single use ones used for industrial deliveries (at work we call them materials pallets). These tend to have a 'fresh wood' colour (and sometimes smell) to them and can be of non-standard sizes as...

With old slotted screws you can clear the slot out easily (of old paint and putty) and if you put your screwdriver in the slot tap it with a hammer it will often come out easier. Indeed. I've even got really old mangled , more like clutch screws slots out. What's left of the slot giving a starting ...
