Morning all,
I'm putting in a Newel post for a staircase and its a concrete floor.
I've bought a bulldog fixing as shown where the post will be recessed for it to locate in the bottom.
Fixing this bulldog to the concrete floor I automatically thought to use anchors as have always had success...

I went to B&Q and when inspecting the quality of the plaster board a corner piece just came off in my hand. I decided to not buy the plaster board based on this evidence. I did clear the mess up from the floor but as there was no bin I disposed of it after leaving the premises...

Hi all. I've moved a light switch and done the bonding coat along the channel after sinking in the twin and earth etc.

Going to to do another room for them the next weekend I'm free.
Thanks for posting. It helped me get clarity
Hi,
There is no issue with the distance from wall to the pipe. I checked and it's pretty central.
Yeah was thinking one of those flexis per side. They are only £6 each on Screwfix so wouldn't break the bank.
The alternative is to elbow out from each supply and use 15mm copper pipe bent in a...
Hi Terry,
I'm thinking of adding a compression elbow onto that supply replacing the valve. Then adding something like the attached photo of a flexible pipe running back to the radiator straight into a new valve going into the radiator.
Would you think that is ok to do?
