    Anyone tiled a kitchen surface and not regretted it?

    There is a reason why its not common over here any more. Personally, i'd just do the beech. It'll look better, last longer, and being slightly softer is less likely to chip your crockery or get chipped when you drop something on it. Wood that has been well oiled with plenty of coats of Osmo oil...

    Anyone tiled a kitchen surface and not regretted it?

    It’ll be difficult to keep hygienically clean. Too many crevices in the tile gaps and grout.

    How to patch this hole where the wall meets the subfloor?

    If there is masonry behind the holes, just use bonding. I thought you were saying there is nothing behind the holes.

    Old House Mystery: 6-Bell Servants’ Call Box – 2 Still Missing, Any Ideas?

    You’ll probably find that the wiring runs in the walls are in steel conduit. You might be able to find that with a modern wall scanner.

    Toilet leak but have sealed the pipe still leaking

    If the float valve is dripping, which I’m pretty it will be, after flushing the water will quickly rise to the normal height, but then continue to slowly rise because of the leaky valve. If the water never got to the overflow height, there couldn’t be a leak from it.

    Toilet leak but have sealed the pipe still leaking

    The water level is too high and its leaking from the overflow connection. Probably means the float valve is leaking, but you could adjust the float height on the arm to see if you can lower the water level. You need to push the float down the arm so that the arm is raised up higher by the water...

    Anti semitic attack

    It just gets more stereotypical by the minute as the facts emerge. The Syrian born terrorist immigrant, named Jihad, was on bail for alleged rape.

    Anti semitic attack

    If the march organisers had had the British decency to postpone last night's protests, that would not be sending the wrong signal. It would be sending the signal that they actually care about the Jewish community in the UK. It would not have hurt their cause any to postpone the march's for a...

    Anti semitic attack

    The attacker’s first name is Jihad, but he wasn’t known to prevent. You couldn’t make it up.

    I strongly suggest you put the idiot on ignore and don't engage.

    Anti semitic attack

    Unfortunately, it was only a matter of time until something like this happened. There is a whole chunk of the world's populace that cannot separate Israel and what they are doing in Gaza from Judaism. My thoughts are with the victims of this attack.

    Does anyone disagree with that? Of course, if you allow nature to take its course, most embryos would become viable human lives. However, i personally don't see the difference in aborting a pregnancy at an early, arbitrary point in time, or using contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancy...

    Not wrestling with what an embryo is, i understand that. Just poor use of language on my part :)

    The far-right are a menace to society

    Is it far right running grooming gangs? Is it far right trying not to investigate them? Is it far right calling for terfs to be killed? Is it far right prosecuting nurses for objecting to men using their changing rooms? Is it a far right teacher still in hiding after showing a characture of...

    Charlie Kirk

    Again, I don’t accept that his views on abortion, which I don’t agree with, were anti equality. He was wrestling with the dilemma of when a fertilised embryo becomes a life, and it’s a common dilemma n America that we don’t understand as it’s been a largely settled argument here since the 60s...
