I did some skirting last year and I glued & screwed

Lovley job. Tidy

Does anyone ever use 25mm round and 47mm box for deep chases

What mortar/sand-cement mix or powders should I do on these cracks and too deep electrical chases. House build 1935. The room is having all the old plaster, hacked off and re plastered with hardwall plaster. Ideas? Edit: I have some sharp sand and cement knocking about. Also I was thinking...

I'm looking for a new mitre to replace my 210mm (8") one. I'm after a 305mm (12") double bevel saw only. Gotta be 240v. It's one of these https://www.toolstation.com/sip-01504-2000w-12-dual-bevel-mitre-saw/p33485...

My 1938 house has 75mm breeze/cinder block internal walls and I need to chase in a metal box for the 10mm t&e cable shower switch. Could I use a 35mm box or would I need a 47mm box.

I'm gonna bump this to ask: Why when plastering over electrical chases into brick/block do people use bonding coat then mulit finish and not hardwall then multi finish. Also what's the max depth you can chase a metel box into.

I want to ask this in a different way. How to remove feather edge boards nailed in without out splitting, as to re-afix with screws

Concrete or cement it

I like Gas PTFE its much thicker

Timber Gravel board? Look in toolstation for there green/organic timber deck screws, there cheap for a box of 200, used them on my fencing.

Couldn't you use blue/heavy duty wood pallets as a base

I have a different question. When screwing the frame into a brick wall, what fixings should you use, I was thinking 10x100mm frame fixings

I've never tried a mortise/tenon join, I'm not a very good at sawing and chiseling but I do have a sliding mitre saw, plunge router & track Plunge saw
