Thanks for the reply, I hadn't considered a thermal camera, I'll certainly look into it, I'm not sure whether I fall into the professional or diy category as I'm a one man band builder. I normally put my hands on things to check the temperature but it's not very scientific.

There are many types of thermometer type guns around at differing prices, I basically want to be able to detect cold spots on walls and windows. Has anyone had any experience with these things. Thanks.

Thank you Ken. That's great information that I knew nothing about. I'll get on the case. Cheers

Hi. I'm not sure if this subject belongs on this forum, but I need to remove lot's of paint form an exterior stone wall. I would employ experts but the ones I want are un available so I'm hoping to give it a go myself. So what kind of paint remover do I need ? And will I need some sort of...

Thanks guys, I'm always trying to up my game, but it's sometimes hard to distinguish between the tat and the game changers.

I've seen some metal nozzles that are attached to normal caulking nozzle. The videos of these things look too good to be true . Has anyone tried them? Thanks.

Has anyone actually used b&q 's make good multi skim? How does it compare with BG multi finish? At the moment it's the only plaster that I've seen on sale. I've used their jointing compound and quite frankly it wasn't fit for purpose, but any port in a storm etc.

I would like to tile on top of some rather battered quarry tiles, the house is about 100 years old. is it ok to tile on top of them or do they need to be taken up, I once tried to put self levelling compound on quarry tiles but it didn't take at all well. thanks, Mark.

Thanks Steve, you're probably right , I've got no complaints with the magnet jig. after watching some you tube clips I realise my technique is wrong.

I'm looking for a new worktop jig as I've just wrecked my old magnet trade jig. I've just looked on the net and the prices vary wildly . Has any one got any recommendations . I'd like a simple and accurate jig but not too expensive. Thanks.

Loving it. When can I move in?

The Lord Allah certainly does move in mysterious ways.

I think you're doing the right thing by keeping well away. He sounds a bit messed up to me . I've only been threatened once and I informed the police immediately , they just took notes and left, at least you now know that no matter how big the bully is, you now have the law on your side...

Those steps are really dangerous. I can't believe anyone would be so stupid to think this is a good idea. the council have done the right thing. At least the family will nice and warm in front of their log fire this Christmas.

I might have been complementary about silverline in the past but the above mixer suddenly seized and is now knackered. so you can disregard my previous post , and I can confirm that Silverline are total cr@p.
