I have got to the point in our new en-suite of connecting the two vanity basins. These units have drawers so very little room for a trap without having to cut through the drawers at the back. I have seen shallow basin traps but the outlet from that would be too high to connect to the...

Thanks very much, very helpful. :)

I have got to tile a new bathroom which we have built as part of an extension. The walls are 12.5mm plasterboard and 12mm ply where the shower is going, this bit I intend to tank as well. The tiles we have are polished porcelain 600x300 by 9mm thick. I know I have to use special adhesive but...

Thanks Nige A very good tip. :D

We may be at cross purposes here. The levels are blended between the old part of the house and the extension as I packed out the board to make up the difference, that is where the problem lies. I just want to make it less noticeable so thought that rounding it off would be the way to go. If I...

That would leave me with about a 35mm gap at the bottom though. I would also have to do it at the other side of the room so a total of a 9 metre run.

No I wasn't planning on getting it skimmed, just taped and finished. I thought by doing this myself beforehand it would save time when I get someone in to do it.

Yes it is two different levels. My thought is that if the angle is rounded then it won't be as noticeable.

Here is one which may give you an idea of the problem. I can take a better one if that's not good enough.

I have just finished plasterboarding an upstairs extension, unfortunately the new roof trusses are slightly out on the 45 degree angle. This leaves a dip on the coomb between the extension and the original part. I think the only way to make this less noticeable is to round that angle. What would...

Thanks for the replies. I will be getting a sparkie in to do some wiring in a new extension so I will get him to do that at the same time.

On and off manually with the switch/isolator.

Thanks for the replies. :) The problem with the grid switches is the back box for drywall, not seen any. The fan doesn't have a run on, it's just on or off.

I have seen 2 gang switches for lights but not for one fan and one light. Where have you seen these?

At the moment the bathroom has the fan switch (isolator) and the shower switch on the wall in the hall and the light switch on a pull cord inside. I would like to get rid of the pull cord and put the light switch in the hall. I have been looking for a 2 gang switch with one for the fan and...

Are there likely to be LEDs which are the equivalent to halogen in the near future?

Ahh, I see. Thanks for the explanation. So in the example I had the LED would be a wider beam angle would it? Is it possible to get LEDs with a beam angle of around 45 degrees?

I'm trying to find equivalent LEDs for our MR16 bulbs in our kitchen. When I look at the Philips bulbs we have the details are: 50W Beam: EXN 36° Lumens: 1500 When I look at comparative LEDs the details are: MR16 High Power LED (20 piece SMD 5050, 320 Lumens, 50 watts equiv.) How can it...
