This was what I was doing wrong by the way.

Can you guys provide any links to good videos on youtube or wiki guides? I mean the guy is happy with what I've done but I'd like to be able to do it like a pro next time :)

I have had to remove a radiator and have turned off both valves so when turning the water back on everything should be great. But I would like to know if there is a quicker way to determine which direction the water is flowing in and out of other than ripping up the floorboards and taking a...

Ahh thanks man, that's the problem. This wasn't a planned project. See I accidentally broke the waste in the sink yesterday while replacing a tap and I only had the waste I intended to use for my new toilet sink. Can you recommend a good one, from say, screwfix or does it simply not matter...

I gave it back to the guy and he was quite happy with it since tapped a tree with it and the blade left a mark. I don't have a 112 grinder but I could just use a dremel grinding stone and no guide to take off some metal from the back too. How much would you recommend to leave as a thickness of...

OK, I am useless at this task. Save me from myself and a polar bear automatically gets born in the Arctic. The brass back nut does not screw up any higher than the tail you can see in the Mr Bodge Fail Install image (the thread ends below those two curved rectangular holes). Well, actually...

How to get something simple very wrong

Problem declared unsolvable by Icgs (at least without megabodge such as gluing it in and putting rubber tape around it) due to incorrect equipment This is for a porcelain sink not sanitaryware. How do you fit this push fit waste I have dismantled here? Like a genius I paid no...

It stopped happening on it's own maybe it was just a goblin

I said I'd sharpen a mower blade for a friend having never done it, knowing I had these for my dremel. Video looked easy, blade doesn't look nice like the one in his video though! I mean it's a bit sharper than the rest of the metal but that's it Any comments on dremel blade sharpener?

I got bored and just hacksaw'd at it until it fell apart. If you know the right way to remove them though. I'm all eyes.

How can I get this fitting off? I've pulled down the collet so hard one of the black clips snapped and it still won't come off. Anything better than a hacksaw to cut it off?

how can i stop the forum booting me when my ip changes, usually just as i am trying to post a really long and (un)clever essay

is there any favoured image resolution and aspect ratio (size) that is favoured here or just upload all my humiliating disasters as they come?

This might be a General Building question, if it is soz. Carpenters more likely to know the score through right? I have to pull up every floorboard in a room and they are all nailed down. For the joists integrity is it better for me to bash the nails through the boards into the joists to...

Tried that but wasn't enough room, maybe my straight coupler is huge and naff, which do you use?

The plumber did the plumbing for a shower before the electrician got the wiring ready and he's gone on holiday so I'm trying to want to finish it. Shower fits on with a brass compression elbow, but attaching this to the pipe makes the shower sit 15mm too far out from the wall. The pipe is buried...
