Perhaps.. But we got there in the end :giggle:

Genius, you are! Many thanks.

Yes, either touching or a few mm gap. To me it is. In the future, I can see myself wanting a 3rd or even 4th socket. By extending the ring (as opposed to adding a spur), I would be good to go Masonry

Want to add a new double socket right under the existing double socket. If I just run the cables (extending ring) directly from the existing socket, can I do this without using any conduit for the pattress box?

Thank you so much for your advice and help throughout the thread. I can't thank you enough.

@JohnD Do you know of a lock that'll fit the mortice?

I think you're right. From the image attached A - 22 (min)-25mm (max) - Width B - 122mm (approx) - Height Thanks, didn't know this. Learning everyday.

There is no existing mortice in place. Just a cutout/hole where a old mortice appeared to be However, with my tape measurer I can see that a two-and-a-half inch width mortice would fit After removing the existing night latch. I see a cutout for the keyhole (images attached below) from the...

is brick acid (i.e. hydrochloric acid), 'safe' in a steel bath tub?

I'm a lot of things... stubborn, sarcastic, a neanderthal.. However, I am NOT a complete amateur :mrgreen: , I own many a bucket (black, plasterers, flexi tub).. @freddiemercurystwin I got in this situation because the only room in the property with water was the bathroom. I placed the flexi...

@DAZB @freddiemercurystwin Thank you. You guys are awesome :mrgreen: @^woody^ Please chime in. Would love to know what books you'd recommend.

In case anyone gets in the same predicament, the following effectively worked for me 1. Fill tub with warm/hot water in order to 'soak' the screed/cement 2. After about 30 mins, use wet vac to remove water from bath. Never let the screed/ cement water go down the drain 3. Get a rubber mallet...

Many thanks @Wayners Although grateful for the suggestion, I think that the surface mounted lock would look horrible. I am quite 'competent' with woodwork.. Could you suggest something that would be a 'better job' please? The more suggestions the better.

Balcony door currently has a nightlatch, which is terrible as the you get locked out if the wind slams the door shut. So, I was after advice on a suitable replacement lock and door handle. The door does look like it has previously had some sort of mortice lock installed in the past, so I put a...

@crank39 Top man. Thanks

I would like to install a lock on an Internal wooden doble door Can anyone advise on a simple lock i can use? It needs to be tamper free, ideally i would use a key or some sort of pin code and it needs to be under £30

I meant to say that the screed has been kept in water to keep the material wet and hopefully prevent the cement from curing However, the screed is rock solid and stuck to the steel bath. I get some success in using my nails to scrape smaller areas. However, larger areas are too difficult.

Cocked up and got flooring screed stuck solid to bottom of steel bath tub Does anyone have any ideas how i can get this off? Left it in water to keep it soft
