Just checked. It's fine.

No my plasterers have always preferred tapered edge for skimming too. No chance of scrim showing through. No extra costs, the first coat just goes on a bit thicker at the edges.

I have a very similar Bosch Series 4 oven. It came with bare wire ends as shown. This turned out to be helpful as the electrician wanted the oven on a plug/socket in an adjacent cupboard rather than hardwired (easier for testing apparently) so I needed only to drill an 8mm hole for the flex and...

That's one of the things I was wondering about. Is there a rule about footing width v wall width? You can build a wall offset on a foundation so presumably there isn't a minimum spacing to footing edge? We will need clay board so potentially looking at a 700mm trench which I guess is another...

But easier than a 150mm cavity?

This stuff? https://unilininsulation.co.uk/products/cavitytherm/ Appears to be PIR like Kingspan with a textured surface to aid drainage on the external face?

When I've needed to build up a bed I've used a sharp sand mortar for the first course - doesn't slump and stronger than a soft sand mortar.

Hi All What is the standard wall detail with the new part L requirements please? I have a 2021 design with 100mm cavity bats and thermalite inner skin. I understand that's no longer enough? I guess the three options are: 1. 150mm cavity with rockwool batts 2. 100mm cavity with Kingspan 3. EWI...

I don't understand. What's an oration? I linked to the screw size above.

I've not used Peelaway 7 but have used Peelaway 1. It partially dried, like a cracked toothpaste. Some came with the bandages but there was still a lot to scrub off.

No one?

Oh and I've looked at faced plywoods (phenolic or melamine) but they're cost prohibitive, around £200 to order a single board. A shame as they would be the perfect solution.

I would like to make some furniture from plywood. I plan to leave the edge raw (clear Matt varnished) and the faces painted. Any tips on how to get a good finish? I will roller the faces using a short pile gloss roller. Would masking be sufficient to get a crisp edge? Or would you paint the...

As per one of the first comments, likely to be old storage heaters or electric radiators.

Hi, I have an engineered maple floor, full glue down, with 150mm wide boards. Two boards have buckled in a little pyramid. They are at a doorway. Lifting the threshold it looks like the boards and glue have pulled the self levelling compound away from the floor. I have an offcut but not...

Plus a days labour for two roofers and an electrician. Another £1500?

Yes exactly.

Thanks all, I managed to find a Polypipe stockist locally and got a solvent bush. We got a drain snake up to the toilet and pulled out sanitary products. Lovely!

Hi, I have a Sharan 7N but believe this is a common set of parts across VAG including Golf Mk7 so hopefully more commonly known! The centre console has two rear USB ports for 2nd row seats, powered from a red plug. I can't find this plug in the wiring diagram (page 1/14). There is no voltage on...
