Is this reasonable, Class 3?. I don't mind paying for something that will last to be honest. Maybe treat it as well?. I'd prefer to stick with plywood as the first lot was excellent, held the weight very well and lasted a long time.

Hello all, about 10 years ago I ordered some marine plywood sheets (12mm iirc) to use as falt surface for working on our cars (gravel drive), it's lasted very well and still in use. I ordered some more a couple of years back and it's completely delaminated and lost all it's strength. I need a...

I've fitted a Sneider (sp)one for now, just managed to fit it in the socket box. Looking the the fuse box the lighting circuits are not on RCD either so at some point a new consumer unit (and probably re-wire) are on the cards. House was re-wired around 25 years ago I believe.

It's our emersion heater supply, on the none RCD side of the fuesbox. Was hoping to make a usable socket out of it for Wife's new pressure cooker.

Hello all, I'm looking for a single wall socket with built in RCD for our kitchen, has anyone seen such a thing?. Has to fit into a standard wall socket box. Satin Chrome ideally but to be honest anything will do. Cheers all!.

That's why I do my own flooring and tiling!. Can take as much time as you like on the awkward cuts to get it looking spot on.

Blobbing solder is not enough heat or not clean enough to start with.

We use a Rothenberger at work with Yellow Map gas. Bought the same kit for home (Torch + 2 cylinders in a case) , I would say it's a bargain for what you get!.

My lad has been wanting get the GTI back on the go so we've been at it this week. Had to make/ modify a trolley to get engine through the house but it's in the workshop no read for a refurb. Most of the chassis parts are salvageable and in good nick considering!. Going AN-3 coated stainless...

Just looked an you can buy internal stop ends, with a bit of grinding that will work. What's best adhesive?, I'd normally think Silicone was best bet?.

Did the front at the weekend, struggled again with the standoff as our fascias aren't deep enough to sit it on. Need a longer one (if one exists) to push ladder out further?. Anyway managed to get all the crap out of the gutter. We had a stop end, bloody Council have joined next doors gutters...

Cheers, didn't know if it would be easier removing these for cleaning on the ground and refitting rather than just cleaning the gutters. Sounds like a none starter

Has anyone any experience with Gutter Headgehogs (long brushes)?. Is it worth fitting them?. Cheers, Keith.

Good idea!, will probably need that on Sunday when I do the front.

The proper Black Velcro has excellent adhesive properties on it's backing.

Our bath panel has been Velcro'd on for 5 years or more. Don't use loads of it as it'll be nigh on impossible to remove the panel again!. Refreshing to see some forward thinking over pipe access, I thought I was the only one!.

Yes, we put a bait station at the front of the house near our fall pipe, next door had bait down as well by the end of it. I you know their "run", they will all follow the same trail normally so a good spot for a bait station.

We had a problem with rats climbing up next doors cavity wall and eventually getting into our loft. The party wall was not "rat tight" between the properties. They can also climb up fall pipes and enter throught the roof via guttering. Best bet is bait stations and poison the fxxkers, that's...

I'd rather not have the Council anywhere near it going by their previous work on next door. Should complain in principle but would just end up with a poor repair unfortunately. Managed to get high enough with the Stand Off to pull the guttering about and re-do the fall pipe. Would be easier to...

Hello all, we had our guttering done (fitted to avoid next doors asbestos guttering), then two years later Council came in and fitted next doors 4 inches short of ours!. Anyhow, just working out best way to position ladder to sort it out. I have a standoff but can't rest it on the window...
