You’ll get better rates from some ‘ standard’ accounts, and forget the ISA part…

‘ French cars ‘ ? are like Wafer Thin Ham and Alcohol Free Beer …. Why ?

Righty tighty, lefty loosey Still use that every day :)

Ah ! Fair enough :)

I'd buy a very small (1kg) bag of Mortar Mix. Just add water. This also saves you cutting,sanding,coating with something else and then painting that you would have to do with expanding foam.

Curved ball time :- Black and Grey !!I You'll need black silicone anyway to do the join between your worktop and the bottom of the upstand. I'd go for grey GROUT on the top of the upstand for 2 reasons: 1. As @foxhole pointed out - you're not going to get a crisp sharp silicone line along...

Yip, without the ‘colour’ bit ! Lol

That, is not an easy job, and something I’ve turned down when asked to do. BUT, if you HAVE to attempt something ……. To limit the damage you are likely to cause when getting the trim off, you have to appreciate that the adhesive on the back of the tile will have a good grip of the back of the...

I remember the uproar a year or two ago when some Healthboards were advertising “ Corridor Care Nurse” vacancies. Was also surprised to see on the ‘Ambulance fly on the wall’ documentary the other night that after the Ambulance spent a couple of hours in the Que at the hospital waiting to admit...

It’s the British colours :)

I certainly wouldn’t be taking a grinder and diamond wheel around the top of my worktop and behind the taps. For one row, ( of lightweight ceramic tiles) only 6” high, if you must take some paint off, I’d just scratch it with a 6” piece of wood with a few screws put through it to make a ‘scratch...

Use the tile adhesive for the plasterboard Use a grab adhesive for the laminate Ensure you leave the spacers in for long enough for it cure/ dry before removing them.

Now as a tiler, I would normally never support such an unprofessional act as using tile adhesive as normal on the skimmed wall, and use “ sticks like sh*t ” ( other grab adhesives are available. :-) ) on the back of the tiles that are landing on the end panels ;-)

I would go for the small gaps between the boards and joins. If the wood expands, and the joints are tight, then it just HAS to twist somewhere, no matter what way you make the joints.

Tbh I don’t know if it ‘dies down’. I do know it’s a problem especially prevalent with I.S., and the couple of times I’ve laid it I’ve always slurried the back the first. The front also needs treating, or you’ll be forever trying to clean the green algae off it that always seem to grow on it...

Is it newly laid? Maybe without the slurry coat being put on the back of it to stop it sucking the water out the mortar?

Why don’t you up the screw length to 100mm screws? That’ll give you somewhere to hang your coat in the adjacent room :)

Do NOT use premixed adhesive for a floor; Premix adhesive is air cured, that’s why there’s a tight lid on the bucket- the stuff in there will never go hard. Now when you tile a floor, with a nice big ( minimum) 10mm notch trowel, and maybe ‘back butter’ the tile first, once you have fixed it...

With the planning that goes into a high profile arrest such as this, I'm surprised we're not hearing more about who authorised the arrests. This person should have had the statements necessary BEFORE the arrests were made. Those 2 guys have a good case for wrongful arrest - if there's no '...
