Thanks for the reply. Yes it will be seen. The surround does not cover it. It could possibly go higher Thanks for the drilling tip

Just had my gas fire removed Replacing with an inset electric fire The new fire is a little wider and fair bit lower I chiselled out the bricks left and right. Right went OK and will just need a bit of filler to tidy. On the Left a big chunk of brick came out. What is the best way to fill the...

I was in need of a new bath panel. Old one, I made from cheap pine t&g with boxing in made from mdf window board and contiboard. All of it got a bit water damaged over the years. Was very impressed with Foxhole's solution. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/diy-bath-panel.541350/#post-4580007...

Used one of these on my 115mm grinder. https://www.toolstation.com/abracs-tile-porcelain-diamond-blade/p87878 Worked well and reasonable price. Creates a LOT of dust. Mine were cut outside.

Chunky side cutters. Point of the cutters facing into the wall, handles towards you. Grip the screw head and use the cutters as a screwdriver. I have removed loads of stubborn screws this way.

Used this in a bathroom on a single run of 'worktop' Not too difficult to fit with a bit of care. https://www.vinylwarehouse.co.uk/exclusive-67cm-avellino-granite-stone-sticky-back-vinyl-furniture-wrap-200-8341-from-1m-to-15m-26036-p.asp Only two adults in our house. It has picked up a couple...

Post a pic of your multimeter. Need to ID the switch wires

Which car is the van based on? There is quite a bit relating to Astra H horn problems online. If this is yours, have a search for CIM clip.

Would you like me to go away and let you get on with your job?

Maybe consider one that fixes to the ground i.e. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296183608328 To fit what you are suggesting, the advice seems to be remove the insulation, screw a treated timber block in its place and render over. The brackets will then have a solid surface to mount on. I am...

Thank You :) Merlyn seem to have some reasonably priced screens.

Can't remember the last time I had a bath (just ask my pet flies). But you know, 3 bed semi in suburbia MUST have a bath. We always use the shower in the en-suite. Been here 20+ years and no intention of moving any time soon. Danish niece and nephew (under 10) had a dip when they were over last...

Any recommended bath shower screens please? Standard bath Spare bathroom. Quite rare that it will get used I am thinking something like this with a fixed panel attached to the wall. £100-£200 price range but willing to stretch a bit for anything recommended. Are fixed or sliding better...

Yes. If there is enough room to get to the grub screw If not, a stubby bit driver or even a socket
