    tiling over plumbing joints?

    If one was to have access to every joint in the house, then we would live in houses full of access doors and panels. However - compression and push fit do need to be accessible. How 'accessible' is defined is probably open to interpretation - but I am sure some of the guys here can help out a...

    tiling over tiles

    I tell my customers that old tiles should be removed. We have very few jobs where the old tiles didnt easily fall away once you get started. Adhesives - especially some of the early trade stuff - dont have an infinite life. If one was to tile over a tile that seemed ok - but was perhaps only...

    spacers in or out

    We uses cross spacers all the time - very handy. And we leave them in too if they do not interfere with the grouting requirements.

    What are the legalities of this scenario?

    Too long a story, so I will cut to the chase with this one..... After we recently done a cloakroom for a customer, the drains have backed up a few times. The first time I cleared it, but after then, they got a local drain firm round who suggested a survey. On the camera, they found an old...

    Fein tool for grout removal - can you help?

    I have a one off job to remove some dodgy grouting. The grout width is 2.5mm and the tile edge is squared off and not beveled. The grout is rock hard Mapie stuff. I am looking to get the job out of the way with minimal hassle and I have been told to take a look at the Fein tool...

    Impeccable logic

    Very intriguing thread. I have to say I cant quite get my head around a lot of what is being discussed, but it is interesting none the less. This is my take on it.... apologies if it seems quite simplistic, but it would be interesting to have explained to me what I am missing... here...

    vigilantes

    Sounds like a smart answer, but it's naive and bull. Surely, they shouldn't even need lobbying - isnt it just plain old common sense? Same with immigration issues - they know the problem exist, but they havnt got a clue. It would take years for anyone to listen let alone do anything...

    Vandalism on Christmas day

    Every few weeks, late at night, someone walks down our road and smashes the wing mirrors on the cars - usually about 10 in a row. The last car gets a half eaten kebab thrown on it's windscreen. Fortunatly for me, I live on the other side of the road, and keep my vehicle outside my house so I'm...

    Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep?

    The word seems to evolve quite a bit. I find it quite interesting that whilst us 'honkies' are getting our knickers in a twist over it's use, many younger generation blacks dont seem to give a flying flip over it anymore.

    Tipping

    I used to feel guilty and always tip, but not now. I only tip if the service is good and with a smile. Even abroad. A few years back in New York, we had a rather awkward incident when we gave a tip, but the waitress told us it wasn't enough!!! She said due to weird tax laws, a tip has to be a...

    Mobile phone tariffs

    Cant vouch for your own contact gcol, but a lot of those free credit back schemes are notoriously full of pitfalls to trip you up and void the deal. If you have a good'un there though, well done!! you've trumped us all!!

    The pact - Who will break first??

    Its taken years of intense negotiation, and now at last, both Megawatt and Joe90 have finally entered an agreement. I give it 2 days tops and reckon Joe will break first. What do you think? The most accurate prediction wins an evening in the pub with the pair of them!!!
