Hi, Im picking up a few green oak sleepers that I'll use to create a couple of shelves and a mantelpiece. What the best way to finish them to make them look attractive? I simple planned on sanding them until they were fairly smooth, and then perhaps oiling them, to try and get them to...

Also, I have 300*600mm ceramic tiles to put up. Ive read I should be using BAL powdered adhesive and grout. Exactly which of these products should I buy? Im tiling onto plastered brick walls. Cheers.

Ok thanks. Where from and whats the best type of latex levelling compound to use then? Also, when I took the old laminate floor up in there, there was the sheet of plastic dpm under it, so I assume there is nothing currently in the floor without it. Is latex compound ok to pour straight on...

Id quite like to use the plywood, as I already have it, and it will raise the floor a little so that the vinyl tiles will bit snugly under the existing skirting boards. Unless its a really bad idea to attach these plyboards to the concrete for some reason? Here a couple of pics of the...

I currently have a electric shower, so the cold water feed used will be that, so the cold water pressure shouldnt drop with another tap in use should it? Only the hot water feed will be branched from the exisiting bath pipe. Also, as Id like to install a thermostatic shower, wont the...

Thanks for the reply. I planned on taking a feed from the pipes supplying the hot and cold water to the bath and sink, is this ok? The cold water tank for the boiler is in the loft and boiler and hot water tank on ground floor, water pressure appears fine with kitchen and bathroom taps on...

Hi, I've currently got an electric shower, a Mira Sport. I'd like to install a thermostatic shower to get a more powerful shower. Ive got a Ideal Mexico Super 3 boiler. Do I need anything else to install a thermostatic shower? What would I need to check? To install, is it simply a case of...
