    Sorting drill holes in wall - suitable filler?

    Hell fire. https://www.toolstation.com/gyproc-easifill-60-filler/p83889 This stuff? I wasn't expecting anything for pence but nothing suitable a bit cheaper?

    Sorting drill holes in wall - suitable filler?

    Looking to see if someone can link me to some suitable filler for this. As you can probably tell from the username, I'm a DIY Donkey. Without getting in to the embarassing details, we now have various holes in walls as a result of a drill bit. Think it was 6 or 7mm. So, 2 in the upper section...

    Electrical interference with microwave

    That sounds like worst case scenario being fire? Also sounds like it's time to break in to the Nectar points i've saved up over the years. I think i've just over £200 left now so i'll see what 'free' microwave i can get at Sainsbury's.

    Electrical interference with microwave

    The Mrs keeps putting stuff up against the vent on the side :cautious: but even after i've cleared it it still does it. I call it a vent, it might not be one but there's slits on the side for something. IIRC it was £80 down from £100 something at Currys. That's the model. The inside looks...

    Electrical interference with microwave

    The angle i was really coming from with this was really a should it be replaced even though it still cooks and doesn't crackle all the time kind of angle. My fault for being vague :D So .... what would YOU do? Would you replace it?

    Electrical interference with microwave

    Just wondering what this could be really. Randomly our microwave will just sound like it's receiving a signal from space or something that i can only describe as electrical interference. It's not all the time but it happens. It's been going on for most of this year and the microwave i'd say...

    Bathroom QUIET ventilation?

    Thanks. I think what i'll need to do is jump on YouTube to see if there's an audio of the iCon in use. Unless i could somehow hear it in person i think this will be my best bet. I know the extraction rate on the 30 is better than the 15 but is it worthwhile? I don't mean compared to the 15 i...

    Bathroom QUIET ventilation?

    We do. Still plenty of condensation in there though. Just wondering whether a vent system would be advised. Or is it like when your A/C goes on the car & people just say "open the window" - not nearly the same is it?

    Bathroom QUIET ventilation?

    Looking at a bathroom install. We currently have no ventilation system and I wonder whether this has caused/contributed to our ceiling (like a vinyl wallpaper) staining a strange colour. Also in the hallway outside the ceiling paper was getting black spots of mould until we put bathroom paint on...

    Stainless steel towel rad or powdercoated?

    Had a look today and i think at the end of the day it's going to come down to price since i like the look of both. To select a preference would probably be stainless steel but not really a lot in it as i'd just as happily go for powder coated as far as looks go. Saw a stainless towel rad with a...

    Bathroom install - sheeting for walls ... or tiles?

    Bringing it back on the topic of tiles for a second as i think that's probably what we're going to go with. We went to Topps Tiles today again to try and whittle the job down and i left wondering what on earth is the difference between a £20m2 tile and a £60m2 tile aside from £40m2? What does...

    Bathroom install - sheeting for walls ... or tiles?

    better, much better :) I can't do the roll backwards against the tiles. It's just wrong :D

    Stainless steel towel rad or powdercoated?

    Depends on how much they cost. I never go in to these things with a budget really. I just get a price and see if i accept it or not. I know that's not how most do it but that's how i do it. And i'm looking at this more from an anti-rust point of view than a looks. I like the look of both...

    Stainless steel towel rad or powdercoated?

    Looking at a new bathroom install and a stainless steel towel rad (or rad of some description) was something i'd mentioned to the potential installer - he agreed. The existing rad was probably a chrome thing and whatever it was looks like it's been painted 100 times and i can see rust spots over...
