I know you cannot recommend over the internet, but could you give me a clue as to what kind of lintol, or steel work would surfice. Also I need a steel RSJ for the ridge to a traditional roof with a span of about 5500mm to carry rafters of about 180mm x 50 mm. Can anyone give me a clue how to do the calculations or would anyone help me out with them?

Hi People,

I am from West yorkshire, Uk

I am studying to become an electrician, and I have a building regulations exam on monday. I am doing some mock exam papers and there are questions about regulations e.g regulation 7 (materials and workmanship) or regulation 3 (building work). what I want to know is how many of these regulations are there and where can I see what they are??

I have the green electricians guide to the building regs book but it does not have this info in there or I can't find it.

Also what does it mean when it says schedule 1 or 2, my undertanding of this is;
part A-P is schedule 1 if this is true what is schedule 2 or is there any more schedules and where can I get this information.

I would be very grateful if anyone can tell me as I am really strugling.

Thanks in advance

We just moved into a house that we are renting for $900 a month. Over labor day weekend the main sewage pipe calapsed. Problem being my husband and I went downstairs to clean up the basement floor, and we and our son are now quite sick. Not only that, but this pipe has been broken for a week now. Our landlord is playing dumb with us, and seems like he is stalling to get it replaced.

We are upset that we are paying such a high amount, and nothing is getting fixed. Our whole front yard will be dug up from the house to the main road to replace the pipe. We can not flush any toilet paper, as it will clog the remaining opening in the pipe. Very quick showers, and can't use the dishwasher, and have to wash the dishes by hand, quickly so the pipe won't over flow.

We already placed the $900 for this month, but we don't feel we should have to pay that full amount for this coming month, as the ammentities we are paying for are being slashed.

Also we live in Michigan.

We have fixed up the bathroom really nice at our place, but we need to fix the smell of cat pee under the sink before we move! I would hate to fix up the bathroom just to leave it smelling like cat pee!! We live in a mobile home from the 70's and would like to know if we could replace the whole sink area, or if we could somehow get rid of the cat pee smell some other way. Please help us with some other ideas besides bleach and vinegar. We need to fix our place up to sell it, and we don't want it to look like crap. Thanks so much!!!

I got this neat tea maker which I just love. It is pretty much the same as a coffee pot so I will assume you can clean it in the same way. I was the pitcher itself normally but the little cup thing that holds the tea (or coffee grounds) is filthy and stained and just refuses to come clean. Any help?

I am trying to bond polyurethane plastic sheet to itself and to polyurethane foam. I was told by home depot staff to use weldbond. I would like a second opinion because the first glue they recommended failed miserably and I don't want to repeat my work for a third time if this is again the wrong glue.

I checked the website and while it specifically excludes polyethylene, unbacked vinyl, PVC, Teflon, polypropylene and vinyl to vinyl; it does not specifically exclude polyurethane. It also does not specifically include it either.

It does say that it will not harm foams and can be used on some plastics.

I appreciate any help people might be able to offer. Thanks in advance and I look forward to reading your responses.

After pondering the situation I remembered I had fallen asleep with gum in my mouth, woke up in the middle of the night, and removed it from my mouth (old gum is horrible)

I can't wait to hear some responses.

Part of our house flooded almost 3 weeks ago. We got 14" inches of rain in 2 hours. Anyway, we cleaned one room out, carpets and all. Left the carpet in the other becasue that is what the landlord wanted. And washed the walls with bleach water. We threw away most of the furniture that got wet. Yet the rooms still stink really bad. The room with carpet was steamed cleaned. I think it didn;t do a bit of good to do that. It is just rank down in those rooms. Any ideas to get the landlord to help out here?
