    Outside tap 3/4 inch - 1 inch adapter problem

    The leak is coming from the grey adapter because I cannot screw it home as it hits the underside of the tap. Seems like the tap is a terrible design. Maybe I can change the tap. I have tried PTFE tape but to no avial. Maybe another washer or two could work.# If I buy a new tap do I just unscrew...

    Crash course in rendering retaining wall....

    I’m going to apply corner beads on the corners etc. at the base of the wall should I install a stop bead or just render to the foundation? I can see a benefit of having a bead there as I’ll be able to easily run the straight edge over the wall by putting it across the top corner head and the...

    Do I need a fall?

    Ahh sorry I missed this. Yes it's Sketchup. It's free for the online version. You can buy other versions if you want to do more with it. This is fine for me though.
