I'm looking to swap out my bath taps with a bath/shower mixer. But as you can just about see (sorry not the best pics with the gap available) in the photos before we moved in here it looks like something had been leaking for a while and also some serious bodgery was done (no idea what those...

I think I looked at Bristan, but unless I missed it most seem to just have the hand shower not the rain shower as well. Trying to keep SWMBO and mini-SWMBO happy (so I can get on with the other jobs!). I did look at other taps that came with the deck mounts but I saw a couple of comments that...

I'm looking to add a thermostatic mixer shower to our bath. I've looked at something like this: Rain shower and hand shower. And would like to pair it with something like this? I'm not dead set on the Grohe tap but from comments on here and reviews they seem to be a good purchase? If I...

I hadn't actually thought about that one! Although that picture is from when they were first put in so how they'd fair at being modified err 15 years later! The other reasons I'm considering a side gate is out of convenience but there is also currently a discussion going on (read fight!) with...

Ah no.. Sorry should have been more specific! Hopefully that makes more sense? With the bottom gravel board being partially sunk, I was planning to "carefully" remove that trying not to disturb the paving and in fill the gap with concrete which would be then either be drilled/leave in...

That's what we have currently, goes back about 24'. Would what I suggested above work do you think? Thanks.

Currently around our back garden we've 6ft concrete posts with gravel boards and large (read damn heavy!) gates. Been ok for a while but needs a spruce up so some of the gravel boards are coming out to make way for new fence panels and while I was out measuring Mrs Unseen was having a moan...

Thanks for that! I'll grab some flex when I'm passing the local CEF tomorrow.

I've recently had a new 6mm cable run done in prep for a cooker replacement. All is good with that but connecting to the cooker.. Either I'm being stupid or missing something obvious (and I'm fine with that if I learn something from it!) So from the cooker connection point a 3m run of 6mm T+E...

Is the 3mm just as good for heat retention? That has been the main bone of contention with SWMBO as since clearing the floors ready to start the room temp has in her opinion dropped a fair bit, I hadn't noticed as I put a jumper on :D As for puddles if they happen will be mopped up and cleaned...

Just thought I'd add here... More confused with underlay options now! Went to the nearest stockist and they actually suggested just the green fibreboard underlay with the quickstep with the old "we've never had a problem in xx" would that cause warranty issues and I'm better sticking with...

I'm looking to install laminate flooring in my living room/dining room potentially Quick Step Impressive as it fits the WAF and looks straightforward to install. The part that has me slightly confused is the prep before fitting. The floors are suspended t&g floorboards, in very good shape no...

Yeah maybe 3ft wide, just big enough to get a bike through without too much issue. I hadn't thought of putting another post in, mainly because I was trying to get away with doing this without touching the block paving. One idea I had was to create frame in the gap but I wasn't sure if a timber...

Currently we have this fencing along our back garden. Not pretty but practical keeping a husky in! At the back are two 6ft x 6ft bloody heavy gates, I can open without too many issues but wife and teenagers just look at me and moan! And getting woken up at 6am to help the wife get her bike...

Thanks for the replys.. Prentice: I mentioned your reply... The answer is not broadcastable :D lol.. Crazy: Thanks for that reply.. We've read the good things about both Pergo and Quickstep so we'll be looking into them tomorrow. Out of interest... Does anyone know who does the...

Well it's near xmas once again and the last minute DIY jobs are here once again.. SWMBO has complained over the last couple of weeks about how cold the living room floor is. Now it's carpeted but it was a cheap carpet due to the work going on in the room at the time. So now she'd like to...

Morning chaps, Quick question, some time ago I posted about my kitchen floor and filling in the gaps //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=219044 I've now been graced with some time off work, and SWMBO has hinted she'd like me to get my arse in gear so I want to check the mix...

Gah... Typical! Almost as bad as our usual "Turn it off.. And turn it back on again" (only our advice usually works :lol: ) Glad your getting it sorted though!

Whats the make and model of the laptop AJ?
