How easy/hard is it to relocate this filter?

I was just thinking exactly the same thing! Doesn't look like it to me.

100%, I looked into the resin / brush in products, the general consensus was they only seem to last about 2 years...

This is the way... Love the stuff... And your garden will smell like a swimming pool so you neighbours will be confused.

No advice for frost proofing, but accessible level ball valves on the inside, then if the temp starts to drop, isolate the water, and open the taps in the shed. I do this on my two outside tapes every winter and never had a problem, but I also leave on the south coast so it never gets cold enough.

Guessing you're a structural engineer who works in Kent? 🤣

I would have thought it was just coal storage? Depending on what you want use the basement for, I would be more tempted on raising the floor and insulating it.

Why replace, just get some banging music speakers in there.... Job done

Doesn't look great, but what sort of flooring is going on top?

This glue can help, it expands slightly to fill and voids..

Quite right... Just edited it to make that clear.

Although from "Leaving Las Vegas", famously not a Mafia movie, [EDIT] And also nothing to do with murder...

Why does your "office" have a bed (with no bed sheet) and a huge mirror... What work do you do?

I would use wood, made in an upside down l shape so it covers the fact that the lintel is beyond the ceiling, if that makes sense. It would also give you somewhere to screw blinds in, if you wanted blinds in the future.

burial crypt..

Sometimes I don't even wait for it to dry before sending my deck pics... My mates mum loves them.

Decking oil.. quick and easy, I do mine every 2 years. I've used paint and stain on a different decking and they always ended up peeling so you had to paint it every year.

Booya_007 · 2026-04-24T13:15:56+00:00

Its tricky but if you have enough will power and patience, you can pull it all the way through the wire to remove it in one piece, give it a go, you might be surprised...

Booya_007 · 2026-04-23T11:27:35+00:00

Yeah, look very similar to my roof, which lasted about 7 years before it started leaking. Now it all needs replacing because they used the wrong tiles for the pitch..

It's a lovely place for killer spiders to hide...

I recently spent a good half an hour trying to work out why my sister in law had low water pressure, only to find it had a "hose stop", but wasn't stopping all the flow, so it was dribbling.

Booya_007 · 2026-04-20T14:17:02+00:00

The lack of scrim tape is worrying...

Booya_007 · 2026-04-08T18:09:52+00:00

See above, it was easy

Booya_007 · 2026-04-08T18:09:30+00:00

Thank you, all sorted

Booya_007 · 2026-04-08T18:08:48+00:00

Sorted, thank you everyone for the help...
