How about puttiing up the after pictures? That is terrible for 1 days work let alone 6.

The dpc also stops grout loss into the subbase when the slab is cast, but even without that why would you not want to keep the floor as dry as possibe for the sake of a few quid??

You'd normally screed a slab and a good screeder will produce a finish that needs no levelling. If you don't want to do that then a powerfloat used properly will give you a suitable finish

Opening up with an auger bit?

There's a gap on the left too. Nothing to worry about.

Genorous today!

"Packers" Mr AI??????????

Some really good stuff here. A couple of things worth mentioning though: be cautious about always going for the cheapest quote especially if there's a big gap to the next highest, there's usually a reason. There is a risk of mismeasurement and divided (not me guv!!) responsibility in...

I rarely use my SDS as I can get into most materials with just the combi and a decent bit. Had to drag it out last week as it happens as 1 hole in 6 found a very hard brick.

Chipboard. Stress not.

As well as the tyres. mine has proved very handy for blowing stuff down after sanding, I also use a needle gun on de-paint/de-scale duties though in fairness it'd only a Lidl cheapy so do need to be patient. I have also made up a small airlift to clean leaves from the bottom of the pond which...

Nowt: doing it for myself. Mate was on £220/day. New timber maybe £200 say £30 for spray and old wood went to tip gratis

Surely it's up to the dealer if he has bought it?

Even getting permission strikes me as a loss when you've shelled out over £500 for the priviledge.

"Sometimes" suggests sometimes it doesn't!!

3(.2?) in the ally, 6 in the wall. Pretty standard,

And remember the 6P rule.

Totally agree except that I wouldn't want a domestic chippy trying to do major formwork: there are different skills/mindset required.

An ordinary masonry drill will handle ceramic tiles. NO HAMMER though. 3.2 seems awful small though: surely you're going to use wall plus so at least 5mm for yellow plugs
