My sister lives in London and i was sure her cistern must be blocked as it was so slow till i realised the bathroom supply was tank fed. Is that just lazyness/cost saving of not wanting to reroute the plumbing? Why in this day and age would anyone not want mains pressure when it's everywhere?

No worries i totally hear you and it's the very reason this favour has been on the back burner for a while. I'm only speculating at the moment but as i have seen they do an 1800 high board (drywall) it'd probably work but i know as you say for a lot of access you are royally fcked for anything...

Ok that's about what i expected, thanks for the feedback :)

Does anyone know wether B&Q will deliver sheet materials to a flat a few floors up? I see they have a caveat for kerbside drop offs but it doesn't specify which items are handled that way. I would assume sheet materials are just the type of thing this would apply to so wonder if anyone knows for...

I had my first experience of this last year and got there in the end but am sure there are a lot of ways to make the process easier and quicker. In that setup i was installing to a corner so had two sides inaccessible which mattered when we found we couldn't get the strings to close at the...

Well now, this is interesting. I picked up the Impaktor holder and a 50mm Impaktor pz2 bit and gave it to my mate to use this morning as he seemed to be suffering from more breakages. I don't know what hid DW impact is rated at but its 18v XR so i imagine at least as much as my Makita which is...

Good to know thanks. I'll grab the Impaktor holder and bits from Toolstation which is just down the road.

I've gotten sick of cheaper bits snapping and rounding off so was looking at Wera sets and bits but there seem to be plenty of reviewers having them not last long in impact drivers either. I wanted to get Wera as someone gave me a couple of bits a while back and they were pretty bulletproof...

My bad it is the 215

Nice work thanks!

No they don't have anything closely matching the model number as far as I can see

thanks, i dont have a picture of the whole thing atm.. just this i took for the reference info. will grab a face shot next time im down.

Hi i'm trying to remove an air extractor that's poorly mounted in my sisters kitchen and have no experience of it. The grill comes off but from there it looks as though you need to disassemble it to get to the back fixings? Tried attaching a picture but that doesn't seem to be working.. model is...

That stuff looks brilliant, thanks!

Am thinking of doing this for my sister but seem to remember these surfaces being of absolutely ballistic hardness. They're probably very cheap.. are these laminates mostly plastic? What would be best paint prep.. wash and self etching primer, or sand like fook?

If i'd seen that first i probably would have bought it. In the end i found the Bosch game me sketchy readings though it was double lined so maybe too deep and i just went with the zip plugs which are brilliant.

I did consider the estate but as yuo say it's exposed. I can put the seats down at need in this Focus to get whatever i need to site for an initial trip then for day to day the normal boot is enough and hidden by the tray. Can even get the hinge jig and long level in down the side of the seats.

I normally just use the magnet off my laser for metal stud but not having to drill loads of pilot holes to find timber studs made the buy worth it for me and have picked up a Bosch one. Got a load of stuff to fix in an old victorian lath/plaster wall flat and you can't really tell where they are...

Do you get as much definition as with metal stud?

Is that bs or what? I was looking at getting a stud finder and some of them list wood/metal etc. Do they work.. uses ultrasound or what and if so any good?
