Looks great. Any problems with the MDF?

Ducting into the ceiling then outside.

That’s what I thought! But that‘s what was recommended by the manufacturer of the extractor. I‘m priming the moisture resistant board with Zinsser Bin and using Diamond Egshell so maybe it’ll be ok?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the weight is an issue. I was advised to use Mdf for the main board as the extractor rests either side of the cutout (900x600mm so I lose quite a bit there). I’ve got moisture resistant board to help with that. I was originally going to use plasterboard but I’d like...

Hello, Any advice on how to build a drop down ceiling to go above a kitchen island? I want to build this in the picture below and fix it into the ceiling joists above.I’ve got a 1800x900mm piece of MDF cut already, plus all the other side pieces pre cut. I’ve also got a load of 38x63 CLS. But...

Something like this? https://www.screwfix.com/p/hafele-door-panel-connecting-plates-zinc-plated-192mm-x-19mm-x-3mm-2-pack/9097p

I have an AEG 6000 Dishwasher with a sliding door mechanism. As anybody tried to fit a door front to these with a drawline ie. two piece door? I get how to do it with a one piece door here: But, how do I do it with a two piece? I'm thinking the two parts need to be bracketed together. Has...

Open space. So, I was thinking - what's the point in worrying about getting a blockage in 20 years time. The best thing is just to cover it in concrete and get the job done. I'd have to be mad to spend more time on this. Wibble. I then realised I'm a total idiot. Less than a metre away...

Just when I thought I'd sorted it! I'm going for glue down karndean style flooring. Just wondering how that would work/look.

There will be an upstand against the wall at the end with a horizontal to the sink waste and I'm going to put a T in as circled below with a capped access accessible through a hole in the base of the sink unit. Hopefully!

It's about 250mm from to FLL. I tried all the combinations in the hole (..Ohh.. you are awful!), but the one in the pictures below seems to have worked out with just the right amount of fall, plus room to get a cap on below FFL. Just need to depeen the channel a bit more. I'm also going to put...

Not sure what other option I have apart from the soft adapter. Given that below is gravel and under that bricks and under that sand I'm thinking any minor leaks and it'll just drain away. No DPM in sight and after all these years everywhere is dry as a bone! I had to make a decision so did as...

I've only got 140mm from the top of the clay pipe to the floor level so I also have to account for some screed/concrete on top - say 50mm. That only gives 90mm of height to get the boss on hence I'm looking at different options. How about this one (end pipe to be cut and plugged.

I bought the McAlpine and it looks like it's a good fit with enough clearance around so I think I'll use that. Just thinking about how to connect the 40mm waste. What's the best option here: 1. Boss is on awkward angle but maybe use some CT1 instead of solvent weld? 2. Waste in at the end...

Will do Ta.
