Ceiling boarding long edge doesn’t have to land on a joist. But yeah, 1220 plus strip gives more supported edges than 2 other random sized pieces.

Is it a Belfast sat on a unit? If so, unit could be lowered and take sink down with it, and out. Not particularly easy but none of the options are…

You’re just talking about bringing the main into the house at the front rather than the back, to reduce the amount of trenching? That’s fine. Copper would need lagging in garage. It’s meant to be ducted and insulated as it comes in tho, then a stopcock and drain off pretty close to that point.

If we’re talking purely skimming, I’d just do one side of it, and other side after, so you’re skimming to a dry edge and get it bang on. Keep the edge really clean and wet when you’re doing the second side. Or, fit a stop bead. You won’t struggle to get it straight, it’s always dead rigid on...

That looks like a 40mm waste pipe, at least 10mm below the top, which is way over what you’re theoretically meant to take out, and probably would be even if it was a 32mm pipe. Looks like at least an 8” joist. See it done all the time tho. Guess it depends on whether it was his call or he was...

Ok with the right fixings… 50kg TV?!

50mm screws. That’s the whole point of battening it, they take the load. Although given they’re celcon blocks, a 70mm or whatever screw would just fire straight into it so not an issue either.

Just speak to local installers, vast majority of the time it wouldn’t be needed

Cheers all, will redo it.

Yeah, exactly. Better explanation than I gave. Just checking there isn’t anything wrong with it even if it’s a bit unnecessary.

Cheers. Yeah, it has a timer. As far as I can see, this meets the requirements. Just never seems to be done like that that I’ve seen.

I’ve never found any reference to this way of wiring a fan isolator and timer fan (no lights involved, just a switch to control the fan). I can’t see anything fundamentally wrong with it, but please correct me if that’s not the case. Connected to fused 5a feed. All Earths connected where...

I doubt the clips alone are causing that? Is it not just a lot of run off from the dormer side/upper roof and the pitch being low causing it to overspill the verge?

yeah, it’s solid 6mm cement board. No washers. All good.

Deffo seems to be adhesive, and no washers

Local grab hire/aggregate places may do a swap of taking away existing and bringing new topsoil. Ground workers for if stuff needs moving around/levelling etc. Theyre also likely to have contacts for the grab.

Cheers all. 6mm notched trowel ok for the addy onto the ply, or skim it thin?

The headlap on those tiles looks absolutely tiny if I’m seeing the pic right

Nice one, ta.

I’ve laid a 18mm wbp ply bathroom floor with all board edges meeting on joists. Before tiling I’m going to lay 6mm cement board glued and screwed down to the ply. Am I right in thinking, 1) the backer boards edges don’t need to meet on a joist, and the screw length only needs to be enough to hit...
