Just popping back into the forum after many years absent. I just had to say I find it absolutely poetic that BAS' goodbye thread became an argument about the merits of downlights! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: He would be proud.
Thanks, and sorry for the necro.
Thanks for the reply!
In the end I'd already gone ahead and followed my gut (which has tiling experience of one other bathroom ever, lol) and used the 8mm. I thought I wanted a good thick bed and it would help take out any unevenness on my manually shaped fall to the drain in the sunken shower...
Hello,
Would appreciate a bit of sense check on the advice I've been given by the tile shop on trowel sizes.
I'm doing a bathroom where the floor will be mostly 60x60cm tiles but with a 5x5cm mosaic version of the same tile in the shower area. This shower area I have also sunk down 12.5mm when...
Thanks for the reply.
I couldn't ignore yet another person saying don't do it, so took a deep breath and started pulling the existing off the plasterboard.
Has made a bit of a mess of the plasterboard paper, but with some sanding and some repair in places it will be OK to line then go over...
Hi,
The existing wallpaper in my basement apartment bathroom I am renovating is stuck like **** directly to plasterboard and there seems no way I can get it off without destroying the plasterboard itself.
I'd appreciate some advice on papering over the existing bathroom paper.
I've read...
I dunno - soggy biltong?
If you make your biltong thinner sliced so it works in a jerky machine, but otherwise the same recipe as biltong, is it still biltong?
Bilky?
Questions like these need answers.
I thought BAS was joking, but then... it's BAS :)
I'd wager that a controllable food dehydrator that can produce beef jerky would have a pretty good stab at biltong
Seems like OP's scheme isn't too far away from the 'real thing'...

Sadly likely not available over here. But why not just get something like this and stop messing around...
OK now i'm more confused :(. I popped off a cover to investigate further and I measure 225 V between all phases as if it's a delta connected system. All the twin pole MCBs are just wired up between two phases.
So how the heck is my cooker hob 380 V?? Maybe it isn't - need to get another cover...
I found this interesting reading on the subject...

It even mentions Norway being IT a few times. Still doesn't mean I have...
Hmmm good point RF - thanks. I ought to be able to find a metal spike somewhere. It's a shame I don't have the nice MFT I used in the UK over here, though.
Woo a reply :). Thanks! Man I thought everybody would be up for stimulating discussion on the intricacies of different network types. No??? :)
I'm really not sure to be honest. It's a couple of sources I read they are strange and use IT over here. Probably Wikipedia quality of sources though...
I've been away a few years - nice to know nothing has changed :). Wouldn't be DIYNot without Ban being controversial :). Always right of course.
So what did we miss?
Hello,
Not been on here for a few years. This place was a great help during my renovation including full DIY rewire. That all went fine in the end - notified, did all work myself including inspection and testing, submitted EIC and got my completion cert (and added to some council approved...
If you look at the far end there are fixings going in diagonally through the noggin into the vertical. Maybe same arrangement on bottom RH?
Gonna be fun cutting the plasterboard for that lot.
