"Not as good" how? They dont have to do much except mix the hot and cold.... :)

Is it worth spending big bucks on one or is a simple (sub-100 quid) bar mixer from a shed just as good?

Cheers. Never heard of it so I'll look it up. Scraping, pressure-washing or blasting, there's gonna be a hell of a lot of small white flecks of paint everywhere!

One wall of a house is quite damaged by weathering. It LOOKS like its been painted over dirty surfaces in the past. WHat's the best way to proceed before painting it again? Do I have to scrape all that white off, seal the underneath and paint over, or is there an easier way (not another bodge!)...

anyone?

Where I came from in the Midlands, "everyone" used plastering sand to make a sand/cement wall render ie slightly gritty but not as gritty as sharp or washed or grit sand (so many names for the same thing!) Here in North Wales you cant get plastering sand - only bs or sharp. Merchants all say...

Maybe I/We expect too much of a SCM saw

Ouch

How much do you have to pay to get a slider that doesn't have a bit of bend or "play" when cutting wider pieces? ie when its sliding..... I have (or had , as its dying) a Bosch CM summat that, while fine for general work, is poor for very accurate work due to said play in the arm (ie its easy...

Upstairs wall (the tall one in the stairwell) entirely made of an old shed.....stripped off the loose pb to reveal 2 T+G shed sides, loosely held in place by a couple of nails. They looked good enought to repurpose as well, a shed. Apparently the cottage had been a one storey hovel, and the...

Great stuff. If it were me, now I've seen your tiles in the alcove, I'd probably not use a brick pattern on the sides....makes it look too busy. Great work, though.

i tend to flit between different games, rarely finishing one as I get bored after a while. Can someone describe the various options for membership, and which is better for someone like me who likes to try lots of games but for shorter periods. Thanks

As an aside, in my experience of many showers in several houses I've owned, a 10kW shower is not much better than an 8.5....people always think they're going to get a powerful, very hot shower. You won't. So maybe you're wasting your time and money upgrading....? Just my 2p.

These safe zones only tell you where NOT to drill.....they are no help whatsoever, IMHO, as people often ignore them and run cables anywhere they please, making the rules redundant.

the lamp won't care which is neutral and which is line......a proper spark will be along in a while.

Done! thanks for your help.

You paid a huge amount for a big extension but you are considering leaving as blockwork????? Get it rendered properly, man! :)

One door catching on the other at the top, so need to rotate the door back towards the hinge at the top. Technique?

I'd be wary of using a grinder up a 3 tier ladder anyway....one catch and you're off.

Soon to fit new windows under new cavity lintels. Won't there be exposed metal in the reveal? I will be rendering the walls so I need something I can apply which might either be painted or rendered THEN painted. What's the normal way of proceeding?
