Have you tried silicon glue? Firkin

Good man Catlad and thank you very much for keeping me right on this.:D:D:D Regards Firkin(y)

Catlad, thanks for the reply. Ground floor is a garage/workshop and the roof space above it is large enough to be turned into a room of sorts for clean storage or parking the wife with her craft stuff. The underside of the joists will be 2 ply PB and the topside of the joists to be floored...

......If it was my house, I'd be asking the builder back round to take a look and see what he has to say about it. Keep in mind though that plaster can and does take a while to dry - that's why you should give it up to 6 months on new builds to allow the stuff to dry not just on the surface but...

Hello I am replacing the roof boarding (Sarking as we call it in Scotland) and replacing with engineered (T&G) OSB3. Do I need to use a breathable vapour barrier and if yes - does it go under or over the OSB? The covering will then be felted and slated. Much appreciate any help or advice on...

Ah c'mon you guys, BAS has helped a lot of folks out on these columns and so what if he gets up his own shirt sometimes - he is only trying to stop many of us burning our fingers - or worse! I welcome his argy bargy ways - it makes a lot os us stop and think if we are going about it the right...

Thanks for all the replies folks :D I've skimmed straight on to the board and so far it is sticking like glue :lol: Need to touch up a few bits here and there but overall I surprised myself :oops: Used way too much water and plaster mix for the area I wanted to cover which - I seem to...

Hi guys, wee while since I posted last :oops: 1. I'm preparing a room for plastering (Skim coat) and the room is already boarded out and taped at the joints. Do I need to use PVA or not? Reading through the posts here it seems there are two camps of opinion but none that seems definitive...

I have seen how you become a real engineer,as my brother is a real engineer and is soon hoping to impress enough to make nasa offer him a job,so next time your about to say engineer,just say heating fitter or plumber,i have been in this game for 16 years and im still just a heating...

Phenz, try CEF (City Electrical Factors) and see what they are charging for 10 mm cable they gave me a great price for what I needed (15 metres = £26:00) If nothing else, the cost cannot be balanced against personal safety - just buy the right size cable. 8) Firkin

John D - you have mail :D firkin 8)

John D - try now - I think I've sorted it :oops: firkin 8)

Guys - what can I say - you have done me well :D RF - I like these Hagers but - at £129:00 for the basic unit at trade prices -and then the cost of the MCBs on top of that - I hate to think what that little lot would cost me :shock: (very nice though :wink: ) I take your point as well about...

Thanks guys. :D Spark123 - I thought Volex were okay - are you getting mixed up with Wylex? I know from these boards that many don't seem to think too well of them - or is it me that's getting mixed up? :lol: Securespark - do you have a link for MEM - I can only find the metal ones so...

Don't be shy folks - I'm not going to hold you personally responsible for any thing you say - I'd just like to hear your opinions. (just occurred to me - is there anything wrong with my request - i,e, against a forum rule or anything?) Firkin :(

Hi folks-longish time since I last posted :oops: Can you give me your opinion of the different brands of CU's? As usual - looking for the best make at the best price but don't want to scrimp on safety or quality. What I'm after is a split box 5+5 with 100A Switch + 80A 30mA RCD. The...

I have one of those WORX drills as well and would heartily endorse Adamu's statement. Only thing is - I only paid £50:00 for mine on a 10% day :D

Fill and smooth off the deepest dents in the plasterboard and give the whole wall a coating of 50/50 solution water and paint emulsion. Buy the thickest backing paper you can get your hands on and stick this on the wall. You can now paint this after giving it another coating of the 50/50...
