Hate to think I hire a licensed electrician and he has to go on a woodworking forum to ask what the regulations are:o

Personally I would go for the 75mm, the 90mm will have the effect of making the walls seem shorter (or ceilings lower).

Marker pens are notoriously hard to seal. The best thing to try is a leafing aluminium paint, in other words a paints that has a very shiny silver look, not the metallic aluminium look. Some of the...

Don't know any other way of welding a poly tank. One of our tanks, a 22000ltr Polymasta developed a crack in the top and it was fixed under warranty, that was about 4 years ago and it is still going...

Not a dumb question at all. When aluminium windows are installed in the house frame ther need a timber (or MDF) surround around them, this is called the reveal. It is the frame you see around the...

That is also the way it is in Vic. If your property abuts govt land, say a National Park, a fire in the National Park burns your fences down, govt says "tough, not our problem". DAMHIKT!

I have insulated my shed roof with sheets of polystyrene, about 25mm thick. I used Selleys Waterbased Liquid Nails, if you use the solvent based stuff it will melt the polystyrene...

Waterbased acrylic wouldn't be my choice for this application as it is thermoplastic, and will remain sticky for a long time, the hotter it gets the stickier it gets.

I would have used a solvent...

Yes, I have some o/head cords suspended on chains as well. Half the time they get in the way of what you are doing. If I ever do a shed from scratch again I have promised myself some in/on floor...

That looks very professional, a lot of thought has gone in to that.:2tsup:

Great job.

About the only thing I would suggest in addition to what you have, and I'm sure you can always think of...

The main workshop in my shed is a partitioned off area of 7.2x7.2, it has 6 double fluoros fairly evenly spaced. As the shed is 3m high on the sides they are suspended from the roof and hang at about...

Take a drive through your nearest industrial estate and look for throwaway pallets. A lot of companies have these outside their gates for the taking, can't get anything cheaper than that!

Also,...

"Oils" in flat acrylics?:o

If it hasn't got a wall at the end it is more a carport than a garage, in that case I wouldn't use plasterboard on the ceiling again but something like Hardiflex.

This has been an ongoing battle between paint companies and can manufacturers.

The cans for water based paint are made from tinplate roller coated with an epoxy based varnish, but sometimes the...

Care factor...........if I want to listen to an argument I'll switch on parliament:rolleyes:

Afro Boyy, if you look at the bottom of this page, just above "Forum Caps now available", hey presto, there it is:D

Yep, use the Google search at the bottom of the page, type mdf in the search box, select "search the WW forum" and lo and behold you get more hits than you can poke a stick at:D
