There is enough give in foil faced celotext that you could fit a 90mm board plus an 8mm fastener you're determined to use into a gap 94mm wide. Go push your finger into one of the boards and you'll see what I mean If you want to get out on site with a grinder and flap wheel and shave the...

Honestly, I think it'll pay for itself very quickly; now you have one you'll start finding uses for it. They make a super neat, quick job of zipping a square of plasterboard out for installing a backbox.. There was a squeaking joist hanger and a missing fire alarm wire here post plastering...

If you've found a builder that can build a pair of block leafs true enough that the worst deviation to your 10mm gap you can find is a bit of mortar closing it to 4mm, don't risk upsetting them by raising such a trivial inanity. It's highly likely the next builder you have to get in to finish...

At a guess I'd say your installation of the usb card disturbed the graphics card, possibly stopping it working temporarily - there may have been another graphics card built into the motherboard that took over, windows installed a default driver for it at some lower resolution and rearranged all...

Yeah it might have only been years of gunge that was providing a seal! It's also easy to see when you multiply what you found by the tens of millions of homes in Britain, how the sewers end up with accumulations of fats that size of double decker buses, blocking them up. The water board's...

Yes going up is loosening it. It's badly cross threaded and needs to be undone then carefully reassembled to fix. You should align the black pipe to be as straight as possible when reassembling: (I've underlined the angle of the black pipe in orange pen and the angle of the white pipe in...

I wouldn't bother. There isn't anything you need to do structurally and aesthetically you won't see it when it's re-covered with skirting and flooring

The only thing I'd caution with this; maybe avoid a water based glue - if there is too much water in it it can cause the MDF fibres to expand, making the edge curl. Consider a non water based glue or be prepared to sand and finish the gap

The metal doesn't appear particularly thick. I too second the earlier proposals of: 1: see if the holes line up any better by rotating just one of the pieces 180 degrees; maybe they are at a slight angle 2: rotate them slightly to better align them along the vertical line,then use a hammer to...

Screfix do M8x90 at 8.49 for a pack of 50, item 3262H. I didn't look exhaustively at eBay because most listings are "choose your length to see your price" and eBay doesn't help out much with those so you only see the price range, but I did see item 254722527587 which is m8x100 at 2.50 for 20

If you're ever wondering this and you can see the screw thread, look at it closely: You see where I put the black arrows? That part of the thread tells you which way the thread runs. I'll just rotate the image to make the next part easier to explain: So imagine the thread as like a very...

If you struggle to find a match, is there a anywhere else in the room you can take a tile from and then hide the missing one (panelling, an appliance that never moves, maybe behind something already). If you only find new ones that aren't quite a match you can look to move an existing one into...

Genuinely, I'd just carefully drill a hole through the side of the machine, on the world side of the rubber seal

It only takes one litre of oil to contaminate a million litres of water, and you pillocks are wilfully pouring it into the water table :rolleyes:

Oh you've never dead any of my posts than.. Even better when I dictate to Siri. Hacks oars are so last sentry. Decent sliding compound might a sore for me

I used to use Foxit PDF reader that had a distance measured and somewhere that the scale could be set so when you performed a measure it produced a value that had already had the math done.. This must have been at least 10 years ago, so I'd hesitate to guarantee the functionality is still...

What Norton's worth is a whole other conversation! :D

Stoked for you, but I'm afraid none of your stories offer any help, insight, guidance or explanation as to why I'm having to pay to return a faulty chair. Tell me, at what point was this mistake I made? What option did I tick/not tick, that made it some specific concrete action that I did wrong?

You should probably update your system. I know, I know - I liked windows 7 too, but you're a security breach waiting to happen..

As others have pointed out, using UFH to heat a slab that is not insulated from the ground below is incredibly unwise. You need a good chunk of decent insulation (Madrab has said 80mm of PIR, I personally would strive for more) in your buildup somewhere, be it on top of the slab or under. If...
