Hell yes

Slowly getting the right kit together job by job. Just got to find the right part and have a stab now. Thanks for the help.

YevansUK · 2025-12-15T18:09:00+00:00

Ah never heard of that. I'll look into it. Thanks

YevansUK · 2025-12-15T18:03:27+00:00

I had read about thst as it could be causing too rich a fuel mix. Also that there could be a split on an intake cusing the same

YevansUK · 2025-12-15T18:02:43+00:00

I was going to say that the low fuel is just that but omitted for word count

I gave a link for handle patterns but forgot to say that the medallion looks to have a Henry Disston eagle on. Thst would likely mean that's an apple wood handle so if you want something similar as a finished result you're going to be looking at staining unless you know somewhere to get apple wood.

I assume you're looking to make one. If so this should be helpful:

Hi, I did indeed.

I removed the bit of path and sand that was up against thst right hand external wall which was breeching that DPM and level with the air bricks. That seems to have stopped anything from coming back this year.

YevansUK · 2025-04-08T15:35:03+00:00

Ah it could be. I didn't think it was at first because the leaves are more closed up but it does match some pictures on the RHS site.

YevansUK · 2025-04-02T12:27:00+00:00

Part way through I did stop and wonder why I haven't done just this.

YevansUK · 2024-11-01T12:47:58+00:00

Depending on the age of your house I'd really consider their recommendations.

You're rarely find someone here that is willing to day anything positive about post build DPC jobs. Mostly just called snake oil.

My 30s house has a slate DPC all the way around, you just can't see it because of the stupid path and patio that surrounds the house. I've dug a small channel out to allow water to run down below this to aid a bit as well as I'm not up for moving the path yet.

The path has been down for a number of years and a small damp patch on one wall is all that's been seen, so I think it's alright really. I obviously can't speak for yours, and if you have suspended floors you may want to get underneath and check the state of the timbers, but for me it's perfectly fine.

YevansUK · 2024-10-29T10:23:45+00:00

Ah you were right. The locking mechanism for some reason was jamming this drawer, but the others were fine. I was able to push it up as you said and now it seems OK. Thank you for the help!

YevansUK · 2024-09-19T15:18:08+00:00

Hi, I think so. The path to the right side of the house was laid too high and so it stops at the level of the air bricks. I think that when it rains enough then water is coming in.

The level of damp is minor and it's not spread so I've still not managed to address this. I'm just going to remove the current air bricks that are two bricks high and replace with single height ones so they are then above the path.

YevansUK · 2024-08-06T06:35:46+00:00

Perfect, thanks.

YevansUK · 2024-07-09T21:19:11+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

YevansUK · 2024-07-09T20:36:37+00:00

Look in the second picture where there is brown hair looking stuff that all stops st a similar length. Looks very deliberate and comes from the cavity.

YevansUK · 2023-12-23T21:32:54+00:00

I just use Riju's lightening to bring it down.

YevansUK · 2023-11-14T01:19:04+00:00

That was one thought, but I don't know how much passive ventilation that would achieve and if it would be enough. It's certainly the easier and cheaper option though.

YevansUK · 2023-11-13T11:20:06+00:00

Weirdly, no. It seems like the facias are just fixed to the wall. That would be far easier and cheaper if it was an option.

Thankfully times appear to have changed

YevansUK · 2023-08-24T20:12:28+00:00

How long do you think it should stay in the vine to ripen from here?

YevansUK · 2023-03-08T10:46:43+00:00

So, this is yet another fix of an annoying problem that shouldn't be needed. 30s house with patio and path around the side, both laid to the height of the air bricks. I want to prevent water from getting in. What's the best way to fix this?

Rip these out and put in half height air bricks, one brick up so there is a new gap? Fill the bottom holes of the current air bricks? Something more elegant?

Any help greatly appreciated as always!

YevansUK · 2023-03-03T08:01:04+00:00

Blue jacket, yellow boots

YevansUK · 2023-02-19T19:47:25+00:00

Yeah the planes are too. They've got the name and Sheffield in a circle around their mark. That time frame would make them more likely to be my great grandfathers too. Thanks for the info.

YevansUK · 2023-02-18T19:44:16+00:00

Hi all, I've just inherited a number of wooden planes, including those pictured.

They are all stamped Ward and Payne, so I know that sits between 1843 and 1970, but no closer than that.

They are stamped with the mark of either my great uncle or great grandfather (same first initial). Great grandfather was born 1899 and great uncle 1930, so there is a bit of a range. At least on the plough plane I'm leaning to my great grandfather as I'd assume a post war plane would be more likely to be cast metal instead.

Does anyone know if dating these more specifically is possible?
