I have noticed on close inspection that the flooring I have put down in the odd couple of places has started to creep apart on some of the joins. Only see it when you look closely and I might be answering my own question here but on install some of the locking system came off in places on the...

I'm no expert and put down a couple in my house now.Finally getting the hang of scribing to the wall etc. :roll: Have found a handsaw to cut is best but in my experience it wears down the teeth like no tomorrow. Went for 7tpi saw instead of the finer ones.Think it was that,it's in the...

IMO the reason for this is to stop any likely water spillage from ingressing or soaking further into the joints than it can normally take moisture wise. I used this in a previous house and didn't do it.All I did was to run a sealent(waterproof)along the edge of board that ran under the units...

When it's done...tiling,cornicing and pelmets et all....I will put up a thread in 'Your Projects' JamesA The window isn't very big and is on the right hand side of the pic.

Thanks all. Would have replied earlier but been a bit busy doing another room.Totally agree with short and squat.Was just a case of saving on flooring and cutting.What is it in laminate that makes everything go blunt so quick anyway? The pic is of a full plank running under the units.However...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Here's a pic of what I intended to do.Can put up some more if needed. [/URL]

Will be laying laminate 'aqua loc' flooring in the kitchen soon..ish and was wondering if it is ok to lay it without staggering it. I have a galley kitchen and the single length of laminate would run under the units with the plinth over the top. To me it would be an easy run with no...

Just to add maybe more confusion... Did you do a 'hard' reset on your router?Is there a hole to push a something like a pin in that has 'reset' above it? If you have pushed this then you may have to go into the router settings and restore them to time zones,location etc. To be able to...

Is solder available in a strip intead of a wire type form?If not how about banging it flat with a hammer. What about wrapping that around the nut 'cold' and heating the pipe so it melts on contact? Kind of...maybe...perhaps...

What about a 13mm nut with a flange washer attached. Takes an 8mm bolt.There probably is a correct name for the nut but it eludes me right now. A 12mm bolt will use a nut that is 19mm,may suit your 22mm pipe. These are nuts with 6 sides if that is any help.Not sure of the diameter...

Blueyonder Broadband?Windows ME will prob pick this up without you installing anything.This has been fine for me on Win98SE,2000 and XP. Once plugged in it was ready to go. You could always plug straight into the Telewest modem to get 'net access.Might help to reset the router as well if...

Do you get any beeps when powering up? Probably get 1 beep,so do you get more than one?

This would also be the same affect on using those electric tile cutters I guess. Am used to using angle grinders on metal and bring the wheel up to make a level cut if you follow(without turning over). I suppose a lighter hand is needed on tiles :lol: although this is possible. However...

Does the room below vibrate? I take it the machine is level and got a bit of room around it?ie not knocking against anything when in spin mode? What about putting thin rubber strips underneath the machine.

What a great idea! I take it you will have barrels and pumps maybe and not just a fridge with cans of lager/bitter :lol:
