Thanks for the response mate. Regarding the ceiling, I'll have a plasterer take a look at it and see what he thinks.

Hey mate, thanks for the reply. You may not believe me but that was one of the ideas I had but I wasn't sure if slightly bending the plastic pipe in a wall was acceptable or not. I'm trying to be all pro, ya know! Followup question for ya - if I may? Can I bury the plastic pipes if I lag...

Hi guys, Question for you experts out there. I am seeking to trace this wall to bury the pipes for a shower but have hit a snag. The picture I uploaded shows the centre line (red) and green lines show roughly where the pipes need to come down. The left pipe however can't come over anymore...

I 'm thinking about something like this? Thing is it's 160mm in diameter which is almost half an inch larger than the hose. So how would it fit...

Hi there, thanks for the reply. Here is the unit.

Hi mate, It's a "Meaco MeacoCool MC Series 8,000R".

Thanks for the info. What would I then connect the a/c flexi hose to to go through the wall? I have seen them taped to a piece of pipe.

Hu guys, I want to vent a portable air con unit out through a cavity wall. The flexi hose from the AC is just under 6" in diameter. I am therefore assuming a 6" core bit is required? What about going through the wall, would I require a pipe to extend out to the vent? Thanks in advance for any...

I tried acid cleaner today and whilst it didn't do any noticeable harm to the pavers it didn't help either. It's a case of live with it or lift and replace them. I laid a mortar base of 6 sand to 1 cement over a hardcore layer of aggregate. I lifted one stone tonight to see if it disturbed the...

Interesting! Thanks for that. When it decides to stop raining here and the stones dry I will give that try.

Thanks for the advice. I scrubbed each stone with a wire brush on Friday and got the worse off (they were far worse) but the residue you see on them now won't come off. I guess with the scrubbing it's forced particles down into the pores of the stone. What I need is something like a liquid to...

Has anyone used this before? https://www.diy.com/departments/bostik-cementone-brick-patio-cleaner-5l/35681_BQ.prd

Hey all, Looking for some advice regarding removing mortar residue from paving. It was a novice mistake as I'd never laid paving before and having done a reasonable job I then screwed things up with the grouting and failed to wash away the residue. I then tried power hosing and scrubbing each...

Thanks for that.

Hi guys, I want to double-slot this fence for privacy. Is there something used to keep the gaps between the slots consistent and what length of nails would I need? Thanks.

Same to you and yours

Terry, you're a champ mate! All sorted, and perfectly square on the wall to boot. I used some jointing compound to satisfy my OCD and not a leak to be found. In the end it required 45mm of pipe each side between the valve and the elbow. Grand job all round and I really appreciate your valuable...

Smashing info Terry! I've olives & compression nuts so tomorrow I'll pick with the proper elbows and some chrome pipe. My fear was that given the short distance to cover that I couldn't get enough pipe to hold between the valve and the elbow. I'll dummy run it tomorrow before putting it all...

OK so one step forward, one step back. So I bought 2 female to male elbows thinking they'd do the trick but I'm still 50mm shy of the valves. To clarify, Distance between centre of valves = 700mm Distance between centre of elbows = 600mm Distance between inlets of rad = 550mm I would have...

In short mate, no I haven't. But I now will. Thanks for that.
