I tile backer boarded my reveals and plastered straight over the top. Took ages to dry, but Ok a few years later. You could get away with something thicker than 6mm then.

The brick work that the RSJ sits on won’t be perfectly level, so some steel packers underneath to get everything level isn’t unusual. Ideally the thickness of the welded plate plus any packers would be less than 10mm (the usual thickness of a mortar bed) so it would be invisible. I think...

Is being a rapist, but not a convicted rapist Ok? Time and again on these boards we get the same point “but he’s not a ‘convicted’ rapist”. Why not save the pedantry for oxford comma’s, or using the correct ‘there, their, they’re’. Nit-picking over what sort of rapist someone is is a little...

I think it’s still possible. Leave the nuts on the stud just loose enough so that you can spin the stud as you insert it. Although if you’re using enough resin for it to extrude out of the hole, I’d disagree that a twist is essential to fully encase the stud. And you’ve got extruded resin to...

I’d have bolted the stud to the bracket with a nut either side. That would have held the stud square to the hole in the bracket. Slide it into the holes wait for the resin to set and unbolt. You still need to drill the holes fairly accurately.

I think you’re going to want something thicker than 9mm if your relying on that, rather than noggins, to hold the wall cabinets up.

I’ve got no problem with inheritance tax - despite forking out a six figure sum when my Parents passed away. The first £1M is tax free The person (estate) paying the tax isn’t going to miss it The person receiving the inheritance, never had it, so can’t miss it. You get 60% of everything else...

Got to agree with Rodders. No-one else had mentioned walling the tank in, so why bring it up. And you quoted his post making it look like you had a problem with it. Maybe re-think who needs to be winding necks in.

The Eurocell Forma range is actually an Ecoscape product that I was going to use. For boring reasons I ended up using a near identical product from Envirobuild - Hyperion Slatted Cladding. No issues installing over timber or masonary vertically and considerably (around 40%) cheaper.

Stand down. Nothing’s happening. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqjq9yxkkrvo

Off the aerial still. We’ve had poor reception on and off for a while and thought about getting Freely, but the interface doesn’t get great reviews and it’s still early days. It may be supported by the terrestial TV providers, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to gain traction and be the final...

And I’m happy to pay the extra charges. I’d have paid considerably more to have the work done by a registered Electrician. I don’t understand the point about not having the tools of the trade? That’s why I’m paying the fee - for an Electrician to do the bits that I can’t, with the tools I...

Nope.

I’ve had to pay BC (Ceredigion) a further fee. They’ve appointed their approved contractor who visited to visually check cable runs and installation, and then will do a second visit to test the circuits when connected.

This is exactly Trumps character - always has been. I don’t think it’s fitting for any leader of a country, economy or business - but clearly millions of US citizens think otherwise.

Nope, question not answered. There’s a reference to 40 minutes within that wall of text, but no answer to how many hours I might expect to ‘work’ to make my £25. Just a rough idea. Genuinely, good luck to you or anyone else who makes money at it. But throwing it out there as a great way to...

So I start off with my £10k. How many hours do I have to sit at my PC assessing the trading charts to make my £25? Sure, if you’ve got £100k kicking around, then it might be worth it for £250/day, but who’s got that much lying around to take a punt on day trading?

Has anyone turned all the original rads off, and just run the 4 new ones? If they get red hot then, it’s probably not a connection issue. 30kW should be plenty for an everyday house - the boiler hasn’t had it’s output restricted in the settings or anything silly?

It looks like the National Parks Service costs about £5bn a year and brings in £50bn in economic activity. https://www.doi.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2024-03/fy2025-508-nps-greenbook_2.pdf

And the key to good relations with your European neighbours is to steam in and invade one of them.
