Just pinged the invoice. Most folk don't bother with the channel anymore, they just use washers.Oh aye that would be good. I think I require the below. I was going to go galvanized rather than BZP and overengineer. to be honest was half tempted to consider stainless because if the tie rots away it will be a *******!
- 24mm threaded rod (grade 8.8) -1000mm length - Galvanised Steel
- 100m x 100mm x 10mm large metal washer - Galvanised Steel
- Mild steel channel 100mm x 50mm. You will need a piece 150mm - Galvanised steel
- nuts for the 24mm threaded rod (grade 8.8 Galvanised steel)
as for my cladding yes I was going to do the same. Front only in the nice material I posted above, the sides/rear will be in the below:
32/1000 Box Profile 0.5 Thick Polyester Paint Coated Roof Sheet

Moved a 360 tracking camera to the back of the house and added 2 fixed camera's to the side of the house.
Over the last few days I've used the pole pruner to chop out two stumps(they're not very thick but they managed to overheat the pruner, so will need to have a look at that.) Today managed to get a fence panel back in-between the concrete posts, ***** hot now. Resting up now to get the car cleaned tomorrow
Bulk of painting done, put two coats of paint on the skirting with it on a bench to save my poor back and started to glue/pin it down. Carpet will be fitted in a couple of weeks then I can order my PAX corner combo and a bed.
Paid a man to put the carpet down, too hot for doing man jobs myself.
Just need to stick the curtain poles up and make the furniture.
What carpet? I will buy this exact one as this is sufficient research for me.Paid a man to put the carpet down, too hot for doing man jobs myself.

This for the kids bedroom? I'd think twice about a light carpet for there

IME a sort of beige to light brown mottled look has been very good at hiding stains. Our house had it throughout when we bought it and we've spilled a lot of tea/plaster dust/etc and always hides well. Be a shame when we get nicer carpet and have to start being careful!
Which nicer carpet are you considering and please send a link
My wife is driving me mad and I am so poorly informed/ can't cope with the EXTRAVAGENT ONE OFF 50 PERCENT OFF offer that CarpetRight have had since I was 6 I might go postal and just burn the place down

I know nothing about carpet but I am similarly cheapskate and swayed by "deals". Partner will pick bright colours I'm sure... This is her taste:

My experience with pure poly was it attracts dust like mad due to the static. Any idea if it's improved or I was maybe thinking of a different material?Tapi Burns in Matchstick

Wouldnt that be a good thing? The dust is there regardless so its better to be caught in the carper and vacuumed up meaning less lands on other surfaces.... Or am I thinking too practically?
