Ok, I have undone the plywood and I put an insulation board with adhesive and the screws Unfortunately my pattern recognition was not working properly at the time. I hooked up on some other pattern I wanted to avoid but then somehow I put two exact tiles next to each other in the exact...

Just a side note. Isn't easier to dismantle the floor in the future if I have this layer of plywood so the floorboards don't have adhesive on them and won't get damaged during the dismantling?

Ok so I take off the plywood then. Where can I get the right SBR? Topps Tiles has this BAL Primer that has bad reviews. Should I buy Sika Bond SBR+ Waterproof Bonding Agent and Mortar Admixture - 5L or KA SBR Bond Co-Polymer Bonding Compound 5l from WIckes. OR BOSTIK SBR ADMIXTURE WHITE 5LTR...

I know that the floor is going to be higher than it was originally. Before there was a similar 5mm plywood and floor covering. I reckon 8mm in total. Let's say I take off the ply and use only STS this will be 10mm STS + 10mm tiles + 2x layers of adhesive another 10mm? So I end up 22mm higher...

Hi again, I have taken down these plastic covers on all the downstairs windows. I had it blocked completely on the inside since winter. Haven't noticed any condensation or humidity going over 52% as of yet. Can I simply fill in the holes with expanding foam? Then cut the excess and I was going...

Hi All, I hope you are doing well. I have screwed the floor boards so I don't have any movement and squeaks. I have put extra 5mm ply wood on top and screw them in. Now I have these items: 1. STS screws and washers 2. STS 10mm insulation boards 3. EVO-STIK 1L Flexibond Tile Adhesive Primer...

This is how it looks now. I have to now plug the other bit. This old house has this wooded something. How should I fill this? Can I plaster over this wooden thingy? Do they put this to attach skirting?

Hi, Has anyone done some welding with a blow torch? What blow torch have you used. I think on mine the output is too small or the item radiates the heat too soon because I was unable to heat it to desired 390C to melt the Duraflex rods. Please advise. Best

Hi All, I am going to DYI some ledges for pets and I don't know what is the name of these screws? You drill a sufficient hole, screw it in then you have this washer and a fastener. Thanks

On another forum someone has suggested trickle vents that open when the humidity in the room goes beyond certain point. But this new regulation about trickle vents on EVERY window is a ridiculous idea. It should be down to the owner to control the humidity in the house regardless if they are...

I think the best arrangement is to leave vents of downstairs north facing windows and either south or north upstairs but downstairs south does not make sense as it only draws hot air in summer.

Hi All, I am preparing to build a shed from EUR pallets. These are very strong with 22mm planks. I want to put anti-weed membrane on the ground then concrete blocks. What concrete blocks should I use that will last? Please advise. Best regards

ok the hole has been plugged with brick pieces and mortar 1/4 cement/sand.

Hi, no black patches on the walls. The house has outside insulation so I think the interior is drier.

I think you are right because this solution is from previous era when nails were the thing before wall screws

Are you talking about me? I asked about vents, which ones are the best candidates to leave. There are these 3rd party vents that open close depending on the humidity but I think I stick to manual as the relative humidity hardly changes.

I have 4 sensors in the house and all show 46-47% range. I don't have condensation on the windows.

Great. Thanks for explaining that because I removed one from the wall then I thought it maybe serves a different purpose.

Hi Gents, I have all windows with vents. I also have a standard ventilation fan in the bathroom and twice bigger in the kitchen. Considering the house is old it all makes it a bit drafty to say the least. Currently I blocked all of the vents because of the winter but I want to re-commission some...

Hi Gents, After removing old skirting boards I discovered a hole in the wall. Not sure if this is some old school ventilation in the bathroom but it's too big to my liking. On the picture on the left is the outside wall, on the right it's internal wall made of plasterboard. Should I brick it...
