  1. If you want a girlie calender definately Miss 1 by stuart cook. If you don't want to be accused of being a male chauvanist pig go for the more artistic 'rear view holding bottle' by Sprank S Me,I'd go for Miss 1,no prizes for quessing what I am !
  2. Thanks for that tip Will,message deleted,it was due to a time out error. Cheers Tony
  3. But don't press the button three times or you'll order three times what you need
  4. Density of gravel does vary quite a bit,generally in the range 1.7 to 1.9 tonnes per cubic metre. ie length x bredth x depth x 1.8 = approx no of tonnes reqd Regards Tony

  6. Paul,The approx capacity of a 200x100 joist spanning 4.5 metres (general grade softwood) is 680kg total load. The dead load is approx 325kg which leaves you with a live load capacity of 355kg (approx four and a half adults per joist !)This is slightly more than domestic design live loading at 150 kg per sq metre. Regards Tony
  7. I'm not sure of the French Regs but in the UK you would need to upgrade the garage ceiling to provide fire protection to the habitable space above.Even if it is not a requirement of the French regs you may consider it appropriate. Regards Tony
  8. A quick check on the joist sizes gives a bending stress of approximately 5.3 N/mm sq and a deflection of 12.8mm,for the 4.5m span.This is acceptable for a general grade structural softwood.This includes a standard domestic live load. Sorry for not replying earlier,just returned from france. Regards Tony MIStructE
  9. Was that the campsite St Avit Loisirs near Le Bugue ?,I might pack some hard hats,will be arriving on Friday. Regards Tony ps any more info on the deaths ?
  10. I had exactly the same problem with my oak framing,we sanded out the stains with a belt sander,I have seen large oak frames being sand blasted after installation also. Chemicals may or may not work,this could result in further staining ? I have no experiance of this though. Regards Tony
  11. Coco,for what it's worth the max spacing in the UK is such that a 100mm sphere cannot pass through,ie effectively a clear space of just under 100mm.Unless French children's heads are smaller than in the UK,this should suffice and is what I would recommend for safety. Regards Tony  
  12. Patrick,That is correct.I wouldn't want to rely on a long term forecast to decide whether or not to visit France,if you could afford the luxury of being able to make a last minute decision,then the forecast for the next few days should be considerably more accurate.It is interesting how much some weather forecasts vary from one website to the other.One thing is for sure -we can't change the weather.
  13. I hope your right Chouette it's looking good for next week.
  14. You could try www.accuweather.com it gives a 15 day forecast and hour by hour forecast. If accu is supposed to stand for accurate,it isn't.It can't make it's mind up as to what the weather is going to be like in Le Mans for the race,it changes daily. I wouldn't rely on any of them. Regards Tony
