Hi all, I’ve built and rendered a 4m x 500mm block wall and have also dressed an existing 5m x 650mm wall with wediboard. Both are now ready to be tiled. They will be topped with coping stones. Nothing is utterly plumb or level but I’m hoping that my DIY tilings skills (or lack of) can fix that...

Thanks so much for the detailed info, really appreciate it. That is actually what I’m trying to achieve. I have found some 3mm x 32mm self-drilling screws which would probably do the job to reduce the gap. The hole in my 3D design clip is also countersunk so the screw fits flush. As for the...

Narrowest lost screw head that i could find was still 3.5mm. Surely the diameter of the head would be the same as every other 3.5mm screw?

Actually I designed and 3d printed that clip, based on ones you can buy. I just needed to re-shape it to fit my profile. So I can actually edit it and re-print. The issue is, I wanted a 5mm gap between planks and the vertical part of the T gives me that. But the gap has to be wide enough to...

Hi all, So i was gifted enough composite decking to replace our aging wooden one. However, i’ve found that the edge profile where the clips go is different to every other type of composite board that I’ve seen (see pic below). Most boards have a square edged profile for those black plastic...

This is the K4 Ecologique. So i guess the green hose was to indicate the green energy saving features (?)

My K4 had a 5m green hose, it was robust but kinked up at every chance and was simply not long enough. Replaced it for a 10m one which was loads better, but still kinks a bit and i'll be giving it away with the K4 for my son. Karcher quality does seem to have gone downhill in the past few years...

Hi all, My Karcher K5 arrives this week. It has a 10m hose but I’m expecting it to be as crap as the shorter ones they supply. Plus I want a 15m hose that won’t kink. I’d prefer one that has the correct Karcher connections rather than having to buy connectors, but let’s see what’s available...

Hi all, so an opportunity came up to accept some composite decking that we can use to replace our existing and tired wooden decking. I save most of the decking clips from when i dismantled it from the person giving it to me, but i cannot find the same clips anywhere on the t'internet. Does it...

The epic detailing channel is what lead me here tbh. He gives great advice, but wanted to get forumites opinions too. Thanks for the recommendation for the clay mit, I’ll investigate m.

Hi all, Is there an easy diy way to polish out scratches and bring back the shine as well as protect the black paint on a 2022 corsa. There’ll be no need to trash the brand, but if it helps identify the paint type/kind then there ya go. Back in the day I used black T-Cut but I would have...

All good ideas thanks folks. Someone else suggested using a couple of vinyl flooring planks (samples from a store cost about £3) I do have some air wedges which will supposedly lift up to 130kg each, so I might also try those.

Hi all, So I have to re-lay new kitchen flooring, it’s 7mm MDF laminate (yes it’s kitchen safe) to replace the 14 years old stuff which has eventually worn out. But moving the range cooker, washer, dryer, dishwasher and the American fridge/freezer is something I’m NOT looking forward to. So...

Thanks guys, although you are going from "here'say" or "...from what i've seen". There's not a great to installing them so i'd do that myself. Waiting on people who have one to chime in :)

Hi all, so found plenty of threads about this, but most are fairly old. Our kitchen mixer tap has broken and we were thinking of replacing the taps, sink and worktops anyway, so would like a boiling water tap that also offers filtered cold water (which most seem to do). I’ve watched quite a few...
