Saw this on holiday, the 70's called and want there decor back, can think of one or two on here that might think this is a smart repair... It is a sheet of stainless over a hole in the tiles, with a central bolt, the lighting was dim so the exposure was too long to be sharp. Even the soap...

give yourself a decent gap for the silicone, if the gap is too small then it gets overstetched between ful and empty

The hoods we are looking at give a minimum and maximum measure for height from top of chimney to base of extractor. I require the hood to be higher than the height given by the minumum distance to ceiling. using that image as an example, many are similar. I need the chimney to be cut down...

Hi, As title want to fit a cooker hood, we have a few models we are looking at, but so far the fitting drawing shows that the maximum height that the unit can be fitted is below the minimum allowed for a gas hob. Are they easy to cut down to a more sensible height? I know I have some cutting to...

the only thing left is to use vinegar/citric acid to dissolve the cenent, will need agitating to dislodge sand particles as they become exposed. as you discovered setting does continue even underwater if there are enough solids around the cement

agreed, the bamboo would pop up about 3m away from the clump...

It still should have had a packing sliver for the middle section of the hinge and the two other screws fitted, also as others say, not really fitted square on either side. the chippy should have turned up wearing a 10 gallon hat!

try citric acid, gentler than brick acid, will take a while though, use an old toothbrush to agitate the cleaning solution

If you go for bamboo, then put a ring of slates vertically around whatever you plant them in, the roots will escape in time. I needed a wrecking bar to get my bamboos cleared out.

well they are 20x25 cm tiles, so not too much grouting to do.

As title, want to continue the tiling next to the hob onto the tall cabinets that will be about 40cm away from hob, they are 6mm tiles, so not too heavy, but need to choose the correct adhesive, I already have some mapei super flexible powder, will that be ok?

only 4 or 5 of those look useable to me

buy a lidl or aldi brushless angle grinder and some diamond disks to make a wider gap for the reneforcement to go underneath the track. Used carefully one diamond cutting disk would easily cut all of that for you.

the original mortar would have been lime based with horsehair added for strength, it will need sealing if you are going for a gypsum based plaster.

Also consider if the correct screw rawlplugs were used? Is it a partition wall, have the correct sized holes been used if it is bricks, as the screws just pulled out.

but then you are putting impermeable porcelain on top...

Hi, It is a timber extension and I am tiling the window cill as well as the front and sides. There is going to be a quarter round tile used at the join between the flat and vertical tiles. The quarter round needs about 12.5mm between vertical and horizontal. The gap just about works out for a...

you could put only some of the lamps connected to a particular PIR, so that the lamps near any movement are the ones that come on.

lift that slab to see what is underneath, if I was a betting man I would put money on it being 5 dabs that are not fully strong and have left hollow patches that mean the slabs are not fully supported and hence easier to break. Lift the slab and it will look one the ones my cowboy left me to...

As title, I find it hard to get the finish even across the whole surface. I can get most of it fairly even but keep ending up with patches and streaks that are dull. Any tips for how to make it a more even finish? I dont mind if it is not high gloss as long as I can get it more even.
