Do you mean on top of the current paving? would that not damage it? What about my shutters and pour idea? Would that work if I used a few inches of concrete and rebar laid on a DPM so that it could all be taken away in future?

The floor panels are laid on a membrane (and are quite thick - the name of the company is a clue!). It's physical stability that I'm concerned with.

I want to build a small garden room, one of these: https://www.insulatedpanelstore.co.uk/flat-pack-garden-room-kit-1-piccolo As it's made of large panels with tght tolerences, the base needs to be square and level. The spot I have for it is on a raised patio laid with York stone slabs. It's...

Yes, I've considered the bigger sink solution. No, it's my own place, been getting round to it for a few years now!

There are some very rotten bits, especially around the sink. I've considered filling, but it's going to look really terrible, I'd like to get rid of the black stuff. Interesting about the sink. You're probably right, most inset ones have a wider brim to allow for sealing.

Get scratched easily, wouldn't it?

Probably easier if I post a picture - this is what I'm dealing with. Really, just trying to do something that will make it a bit more tolerable for a year or two while I save for a new kitchen. The plan was to rout an apperture about 8mm deep in the red shape, and drop an appropriately cut tile...

Interesting! I'll look into it but sounds expensive for a basic bodge up

Just about, if I do the rear edge with a small trim router I have my eye on (Katsu)

Interesting stuff - not much more expensive than a tile @ 6mm, which would be a perfect depth to recess in. I'm now wondering if this might be better managed by pouring an opaque epoxy resin into the recess.

I see. What if I made the cuts with the tile already in place so that it was supported? Alternatively, can you suggest another material that I could do this with?

I have a ruined wooded worktop where water from the sink has rotted the wood. As a short term bodge I am thinking of insetting a single 1200x600 tile, which would fit perfecty. The idea would be to use a router to create a tight fitting recess such that the tile lies flush with the rest of the...

Interesting idea... I'm better at cutting wood but it's worth looking at. I wondered if it might not work due to a gradient on the drainer, are they flat?

I need to replace a single bowl sink with no drainer for one with a drainer on each side (because the wood has been water damaged beyond repair). I don't have much worktop so if I do a full cutout, there won't be much left to support the sink. My possibly daft idea is to cut a channel in the...

I don't understand the question!

Just returning to this as I said I would and mostly when people say that you just see the end of the thread! Having swapped out the shower head for one that permits a greater flow, my shower is fine. I've not stress tested it by getting toilets flushed etc, but I'm optimistic. Also slightly...

I have a recessed coir mat just inside my front door. It's great, but the cat has relentlessly ****ed on it and now it's got to be replaced so that the house doesn't smell like a pub toilet. What could I use in place of coir, that will not be attractive to a verminous feline, or at least will be...

Thank you. I will have to leave this for a bit now as I'm on hols but I'll do all that when I get back and @ you. I appreciate the help!

Yes, I get the cycling. The tap (next to the boiler) is a two lever mixer and I noticed it was putting cold water back pressure on the DHW so I added a check valve to the DHW on the tap.

I'm going to try a shower with the higher flow shower head.
