    Pipe bung 8mm

    That's an idea actually. I haven't got one though. Will have a look on FB marketplace.

    Pipe bung 8mm

    Yeah sounds like the only realistic option. Trying to avoid compression though.

    Pipe bung 8mm

    Too much water for bread unfortunately. Its the end of a long drop on a central heating system.

    Pipe bung 8mm

    Does anyone know of a internal pipe bung or similar suitable for 8mm copper? I need to solder a fitting onto the end of a piece that won't drain down properly. It doesn't need to hold pressure. I need to get it far enough along the pipe that I can solder the end. I've seen a little rubber thing...

    Routing bullnose

    Thanks all. If the router is powerful enough to do it in one pass then I will.

    Routing bullnose

    Hi, I have a cutter like this in a 1000w 1/4 inch router. Should I round over 18mm MDF in one pass or several? https://www.trend-uk.com/c078x1-4tc-rounding-over-9-5mm-radius-x-15-9mm-cut Thanks.

    Green star 30i v 8000

    Thanks Muggles. It's a 150m2 detached four bed, with a poorly insulated flat roof extension, and currently has a 30kw installed. The calculators are generally recommending 24 or 30. Was thinking Worcester as I can use Boxt who are generally 1k cheaper than local installers and offer a year...

    Green star 30i v 8000

    Hi, any idea on the differences between the 30i and 8000 system boilers? Both at 30kw. From the specs the 30i is smaller and has the traditional Worcester rotary knobs, the 8000 is bigger and has a fancy display... Anything else? I prefer the LCD display but not for £400! Am I right in thinking...

    Temporary base for washing machine

    Unfortunately not. You don't think it would bounce?

    Temporary base for washing machine

    I need to move the washing machine outside for a while. Electrics, water, drainage all ok. Will be covered with a frame and roof made from left over closeboard fencing. It needs to go in a place currently gravelled. For a base I was thinking of a paving slab set on 25mm sharp sand, on some DPC...

    Adding skim beads to existing wall or radius

    Cheers, is it as strong as the steel beads? Would you feather it in?

    Adding skim beads to existing wall or radius

    I have an opening in a high traffic area. It's like a doorway without a door between hall and kitchen. Currently the wall is floated and there aren't any beads. The corners keep chipping. I don't want to skim the whole wall, so I think I have two options. Any thoughts? 1. Try and evenly round...

    Wall hung toilet with basin drainage

    Hi As you can see from attached pics I have a WC using a pan connector with built in boss for basin drainage. The boss wants this replaced with a wall hung toilet. From research so far I think I need a Grohe frame as that allows a 45 degree angle on the waste, is that correct? The...

    Advice on half lap joints

    What would you do with said chisels, I'm not trying to make a mortice or dovetail. I could pare the rebates flat but as above thought a belt sander would be easier
