Hello, Just thought I'd add my thoughts to the mix, just to let you know I'm just a DIYer not a pro. Anyway, just finished my bathroom using 600 * 300 mm tiles over existing tiles. I used Unibond adhesive specifically for large tiles over existing tiles, it's not a grout and is very very...

Media centre is just XP pro with media centre installed over the top. If you don't want to use media centre then you never need to, just use it as an xp pro system.

I took advantage of the Bosch deal at B&Q and bought the model (at work so don't have the model number) with 2 batteries, 1 hour charger and no gimmicks for £63 all in. Replaced my aging B&D model and it's brilliant. Battery charges in no time and lasts ages.

There is a thread on here (about drills I think but I couldnt find it again) with a link to a site which will re-cell your batteries. Could be worth a look

You're right Homebase did sell them, not sure if they still do. And artic is also correct that they were a bit more expensive but when I worked it out it was still cheaper than buying the basic stuff and getting a joiner.

Have you thought about glass bricks? In my last flat the shower cubicle took up about 1/3 of the window space so I put glass bricks in that third. It looked brilliant and kept the shower room bright. Just an idea, it made a real feature.

Download a program called HJ split, start it and browse for the file with .001. make sure the rest of the parts are in the same folder and HJ split will happily join them all.

Go to start> run and type msconfig This'll bring up a new window, click on the startup tab and un-tick any programmes you don't want to start up. If you don't know what some of them are then just type them into a search engine. Or you could just use add/remove programmes you don't...

Firstly thanks for the advice I've robbed from you guys in the past :D , usually find what I need using the old bit search function but this one has me stumped. I'm tiling the kitchen above the worktops using brick effect tiles with bevelled edges, which is going fine. Finally the end...

I have a tiled bathroom floor which on someones advice I grouted with normal wall grout mixed with some PVA glue. It didn't look good straight away but now 2 years later it looks b%%%%y awful! So I want to remove the old floor grout and re-do it with proper stuff. I went out and bought a...
