Hey guys, please bear with me on this one, it's a thought I come up with today and would like to quickly put it forward to see if it's doable. Basically, we are doing the kitchen and bathroom this year, which will include moving of walls etc and hopefully, I would like to bring the soil stack...

Looks good, very interested, I'll be following closely!

Thanks, just what I'd hoped. I do wonder if there's still some moisture behind the skirting, so I think I'm going to a dehumidifier in there for a few days before wiping back and refilling. Cheers.

Hey guys. I had the spare room plastered just before christmas, and fitted the new skirting a week later (primer MDF drilled and screwed), then filled. I then noticed, a week later when i came to look at spot priming the filled areas on the skirting that the filler had sunk. I seeked advice...

Guys, Been asked to change some light fittings/tubes in a body shop, but i'm unsure about what colour tubes to put in for him. its the work/prep area that needs doing, not the spray booth. Currently the tubes are all mix and match. Any ideas on what to go for? Cheers.

Lv networks is simply a 'radial' The underground network could either go to a pot end, or a link box where it can be backfed from another sub. On the overhead network, the end of line could go to a terminal pole, or an open point where jumpers can be made round, or a set of PC400's for...

Thanks woody.

Thanks guys. Put my mind at rest on that one. Should I point it out to my SE anyway or is that something he'll look at anyway? Cheers

Very sad news indeed. I'm sure he is looking down on this thread shouting out that they are bird diverters, but the actual high viz disks have gone, leaving the line taps in place.

Hey guys, A little bit concerned about one of my walls. See pics. The wall was like this when we moved in and ripped down the units that were there, that was over 2 years ago, and I don't think the gaps got any bigger- but I haven't been watching it that closely. I've become a bit more...

Thanks. I was hoping, as its a bungalow and only supporting the ceiling (which I'll still get a SE to confirm) that I could move it and nobody would really know. We're looking at staying here for a good few years, and will be doing a loft conversion at some point, which would probably take the...

Hey guys, Some of you may already know that I'm currently planning a bit of work this year including taking a couple of walls down. Now I've already asked advice on the walls, which I now need to get a SE in to go through what and how things are to be done. What I didn't realise was, that...

PROBLEM! I've just cracked open the primer and started priming the door frame after days of prep, ran my hand over the skirting thinking I need to get that done too, and all the filler has sunk! I thought this stuff was meant to be crank and shrink free! Any ideas why this has done that and...

I'm no expect but my tiling looks better than that, and they've fallen off once. I'd have words in the morning, tell him not happy and that you don't want him to carry on and pay what you think the work he's done is worth.

The room will be around 13m3 I believe. Not sure on towel rail yet, it's got to fit on a wall 800 wide by 2.5m high Cheers

That sounds fine, but connect the earth to the back box to keep the faceplate earthed.

Hey guys, Just been discussing the new bathroom with the other half, and we are unsure what to do about heating. We want a towel rail, but are they only good for just that or will they heat a room as well? If not, we may have to have under floor heating as well! Cheers

That's great to hear, I shall make note and argue the point if need be! Cheers.

Just been having a play with sketch up and drawn this out to see what my ideas look like on paper. I didn't notice before that I've already got 2 joist binders in place, which now I'm thinking I may get away with using the new wall for the joists to rest on, and with the use of an additional...

Great, thanks john. Guess what I've been doing today (y) Oh and when I said spot prime, didn't quite think I need this much lol Cheers
