Hi all, Well after about 6 months of faffing around i have finally managed to fit 36sqm of solid oak flooring in the downstairs of my house!! First I must say thanks to wood you like and matty for their contributions in my previous posts. I have glued the floor down to concrete after much...

ok mate thanks for your replies. Will get all the carpet up this weekend to see what horrors lie beneath for me to prep!! Thanks again, Dan

Thanks for that matty! Cutting out of bottom stair!! Of course!!! Stupid of me not too think of that! Why wouldn't you use water based glue? Have you heard of the glue I have bought? I agree that this method is probably going to be more time consuming but as well as plumbing I do a lot of...

Hi all, I am planning on laying a solid oak floor direct to concrete sub floor. Have done research on the subject and have read conflicting advise regarding using solid boards or engineered. Most I've read seem to favour engineered due to less moisture content(?) and therefore less expansion /...

Once burner is out there is a cylindrical tube (blast tube) housing the burner nozzle. You will need to remove the blast tube ( usually a couple of allen key screws) and you will see the nozzle. A hexagonal shape , brass coloured (if not too black) with hole in middle. Simply undo with spanner...
