Thanks guys I will take a browse when I get a moment. PP

Jason The rad fixings are just stainless screws with rawlplug type fixings which certainly won't reach into the block wall. What would you suggest? I am guessing the trouble will be to get a fixing with a small stainless head screw that will be long enough? PP

'G' loading is recorded for landings and any 'G' limit exceedance will be followed up. You would be amazed at just how hard a landing can be before any 'G' limit is exceeded....he builds em well that Mr. B! As for 'passenger abuse', well what you may consider 'abuse', the pilot may consider...

I am looking for replacement handles for all my timber framed windows. I don't mind paying quite a bit for real quality, but having Googled for ages I haven't really seen anything that stands out as extra special. These days there are real quality ranges of things like radiators, taps...

Or you could use one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/plumbers-mat-heat-shield-NEW_W0QQitemZ170099762397QQihZ007QQcategoryZ63900QQcmdZViewItem which is normally used by plumbers when using a blow torch. PP

Bit off topic (well a lot actualy!), but gcol you will find there are many, many reasons why an aeroplane is landed firmly. Your perception of a 'good' landing, like most passengers, is that the smoother it is the better it is. However, if you ask Mr Boeing what constitutes a 'good' landing he...

Ok More help needed from you experienced tilers/ bathroom fitters. My stone is now up and grouted, sealing to follow in a day or two. Then I come to the fittings, which is where I am unsure. I have to fit an SBH stainless towel rad, like this...

Yep, on these :lol:

Looking for some advice from you experienced bathroom fitters please. I am looking to mount my glass shower panel using these fittings from Pre-fit; There will be two up the wall side and one on the floor, with a support stay to the opposite wall. As you can see the clamps will...

Not sure about compatability, but call Aquamix and ask their technical people if http://www.aquamix.com/for_home_use/products/pg_detail.asp?pdid=35008&pgid=9833 this product would be suitable.... Good luck. PP

The Dunlop kit has plenty of 'gum' but not much tape, supposedly enough to do three sides of a shower cubicle if that helps. I have used it and it is very simple and effective.

If you are going to lift the existing flooring, why not just put 4x2 timbers either side of the existing joists but attach them so the tops are level? If you look at http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=79838&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&sid=714a6065312893d1cb8ef819c044b9d7 I...

Or maybe he drives a 'touring car' with the little jacks on each corner....I guess then he would need the battery to get the engine started to run the hydraulic pump that supplies the jack pressure! :lol:

A bit off topic, but why is timber sold as one size, but actually measures smaller, like in the link posted above?

No Moz! Just uploaded via a hosting site :lol: Just a shame my tiling skills weren't up to that standard. My next project will be smaller tiles, which will give me a fighting chance. :wink:

Been really busy at work, and as I posted the large format stone proved too difficult to get a good finish without some practice, so I have been waiting for two months for a tiler who came recommended. He started last week and is finishing off early this week coming. Here are a couple of...

Assuming it is metal....why not use car paint? Every colour known to man available with them!

Try one of these http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp;jsessionid=TF2ESTEBGFUN0CSTHZOSFFA?cId=100122&ts=96053&id=23401 for your 90 bend which didn't work with a copper flexi. Alternatively, if your soldering is up to it (easy once you give it a go), try one of these...

Am I missing something, or am I correct in thinking that if you are tiling around a wet room floor drain as described, don't you need to account for the falls to the drain? Surely just cutting a square out of the middle of a tile is not going to achieve this? Don't you need to cut the tile...

Glad my experiences helped! I am no flooring expert, I am sure Matty will post a suitable answer to your specific flooring questions. I am unsure of suitable substrates for engineered or solid wood flooring, I would GUESS that correctly fixed chipboard would be fine, but ply better. I would...
