It was an easy bobo to make

I just finished ‘Untamed’. Great show. ( though it’s Yosemite Nat Park) Makes me want to go camping again !

I don’t see why not; though I’ve sealed the gaps off between the slabs to stop mice getting under it, and having bearers on top of a frame means there will always be air circulating under it to help keep it dry.

Only as you were looking for photos/ideas …

Just finished ( one of my many) outdoor projects :- small summerhouse for the Domestic Manager. Ok, so not as grand as some of the other ones you guys have going on just now, but I’m pleased with it……

Oh dear, I was hoping no one was going to reply !! Lol Well, I think I’ve met my limit for ‘trying anything’ :- This is the first job ive done that never went to plan…….. the top coat kept sliding/ slumping down. The scratch coat was solid, well adhered and reasonably flat. Has dried over...

You mean like this ? Lol Just arrived from Mr Amazon

It’s 450 x 450 slabs I used.

I’ve just finished ‘making’ my shed/summerhouse. After costing it up against making it myself, I went for the heaviest duty/ proper construction / T&G/ osb-free one I could find off the shelf… Anyway, I made my base first, out of Pressure Treated 4 x 4’s, put on top of a concreted in slab/pad...

IMHO the only thing the gas fitter has done wrong is fail to manage your expectations.

You mean ' a bad customer blames his workmans tools' lol

You are wrong. You can clearly see the gas pipe in your 3rd photo

Wow! Hang on a minute Yartin.........How has the G.E. made a mess of it ? You mean he didn't move a gas pipe or valve after you no doubt told him " just put the cooker in there" ?

JP and Morq killing what was, up to now, a light-hearted thread about an extension lead...............

I agree, that is a good solution. I was merely answering the question asked.

All good sound advice from Madrab, especially the " DON'T use a seal ' ; they are just a recipe for a minging looking job ! Re the mosaics; it is very difficult to regrout successfully those small squares. Looking closer at that photo, they have another hole in at the 4th and 6 th rows up. i.e...

The problem you have made for yourself is that the ' box' has been finished too low. Even without the ' removable' issue, it is still too low as you are attempting to tile level with the top of the sink. This is a two step fix :- 1. Raise the height of the box by another , say 100 mm, to...
