Hi, I'm installing a shower in the corner of my bathroom and plan to use acrylic wall panels on the walls. The walls are brick, plastered with skim and then currently have standard 4" white tiles from floor to ceiling. I've started removing the tiles and they're mostly coming off easily. The...

Hi, I'm installing a shower in the corner of my existing bathroom and plan to use acrylic wall panels which I believe are 3-5mm thick. The room is currently tiled floor to ceiling with standard 4" square white tiles. I've started to remove these and they're coming off quite easily. The...

Thank you both - will looking to getting the code read done. John - no warning lights at all, at any point.

Looking for any suggestions on where to start... I've got a 2011, 1.6 diesel Citroen C3 Picasso. Has done around 90k miles. I've owned the car since Nov 2021. Summer 2022 I started having an occasional issue with the engine juddering and losing power when driving uphill (actually only ever...

Thanks Johnny, I looked online and there seems to be a split about whether aquaboard needs tanking or not, but if I'm tanking the plastered wall, makes sense to do the boards while I'm at it as you've said. If the existing plaster on the walls isn't sound, what would your recommendation for...

Hi all, I'm planning to install a shower cubicle in an existing bathroom. Two of the walls are brick which are currently plastered and then tiled. The third wall forming the cubicle will be a new stud wall which I intend to face with tile-backer board. The existing tiles on the two brick...

Thank you!! :)

Hi, Refurbing my bathroom which currently has timber joists covered with 25mm thick T&G wood floor boards, and had a carpet down on that. I want to tile (slate actually) the floor and have seen suggestions that the floorboards should be replaced with marine ply, and other suggestions of just...

Hi all, I've just bought a house and was planning to change the locks just to be on the safe side. The house has uPVC doors with Euro cylinder locks, so I've measure up the cylinder and it measures 50mm external and 40mm on the internal side. I can't find any cylinders of this size?? They are...

Hi Crystal Ball.. not sure I'd want all 200 of them.. but depending what (artists) they are and how you much you want for them, I might be interested in buying some of them off you... :)

Thanks John, that sorted it straight away. Very grateful. :-)

Hi John, Thanks, will try that. I've been given "Corgi Universal Cleanser...."

Hi all, I've just had a leak on my gravity fed central heating system so have had to drain the system. While I was doing so I thought I'd take the opportunity to completely drain everything, flush it out, run some cleaner through, and then re-dose with inhibitor. First two steps are now done...

rsgaz - that seems to have done the trick - thank you!

Hi guys, I've got a digital photo frame which displays photos off a USB stick but have a problem with the orientation of the images. I've done a bit of 'Googling' and I understand that most digital cameras and image software these days use 'EXIF' data attached to digital images to display the...

I think rsgaz has the answer - I'm pretty sure the EVMs price only include a fizzy drink - if you want milkshakes, smoothies or hot drinks, you pay more, so that's why they're itemised and charged for separately.

My experience of Blackpool wouldn't have put it in the list, let alone at the top. Had many a night out there for various reasons/occasions over the years and other than a woman earlier this year who was so drunk she couldn't stand up without two of her friends propping her up, and the police...

Update..... Took it all apart at the weekend - not nice, but not as bad as it could have been! Anyway, the 'socket plug that went into the 110mm t-joint was a plastic plug with rubber fins pushed onto it. What had happened is that the rubber fins had moved slightly off the plastic part of...

Hi Guys, Thanks for the responses. Why would the bung have failed though? Do they fail over time? Or is it likely its been leaking since it was done (its less than three years old and the house was empty for 6months of that time - it only leaks when the toilet is flushed and only a little...

Hmmmm, as I say, as its right below the toilet pan, access is not easy so taking a picture didn't really work (I tried to do that when I was locating the leak in the first place, but it didn't help...). You seem to have understood my description though.... What does re-sealing it...
