I mentioned that some people put their bike components in the dishwasher, that raised her ire.... No idea why

Thanks for all the advice at the weekend. Yesterday I fitted some angle brackets to the wall and the panels just to be sure. The wife is extremely happy to finally have the dishwasher in the kitchen! (But is refusing to accept it as her Christmas present)

Ah great, now we have conflicting opinions :P Edit: or do you mean 'remove' because if they're not already fixed to the wall they should be? The sink has been there around 25 years hasn't gone anywhere yet... so touch wood it'll be OK :? (Our plan is to replace the whole kitchen in...

Not cast iron, and had massive holes in it where it had rotted through. That's why I'm replacing! Very much broken and in need of fixing. Those metal flecks you can see in the picture alongside the drainage channel? That's the bit of the cover that have fallen through...

Thanks so far - I've located a masonry chisel and a hammer, and after some effort removed the cover (nicely bonded in there!) Should I be attacking the blobs of cement underneath the frame, or digging out the edges of the frame? (ie at surface level)

Hi all, We've recently purchased our first house and there is a corroded manhole cover near the front door (not on the drive itself). Until now I've protected anyone from walking over it by strategically placing the garden waste wheelie bin over it (they'd have to go out of their way to stand...
