Anyone? Will a normal tile cutter cut them or do i need an actual glass cutter.

Good to know about the bolts although if there not I'll just router the Thickness down. They reckon these new worktops are solid so shouldn't need the euro fitting packs. Seems these tops are square I wouldn't mind butting them together But its getting the laminate off The front edge to get...

Does anyone know the average waste water a 7kg washing machine kicks out per wash ? I want to move my WM but it would mean having the waste going into an acko drain outside so would just like to know in LITRES how much water will pump into it. Thanks.

cheers mate, I might have a go at getting it going again seems this alarm aint that old. This is the old thread from the other year if you want a look, its got a few pics of the wiring in the bell box and...

I f'ed about with it with help off someone on here about a year ago and i think it came down to the panel at fault. So what are decent alarms and best places to look?

Hi, I currently have an accenta G4 alarm panel, one keypad, 3 sensors and a bell box. This was all in the house when we moved in and its never worked properly. What happened was it all works but the bell box never alarmed, I messed about a little and got the bell box to siren but then it...

Might be a stupid question but I wondered if placing storage heater bricks ontop of convector rads would help to give off more heat after rads turn off.

Went and bought me a proper sanding head that fits on my roller pole. Worth every penny, I've got quite a bit of sanding and this makes it so much easier. Just got to paint now then put the skirting & archtrave on, put new rad up and that's one room finished. Let's see what my plastering...

Hi, all rooms are plastered now and Im ready to fill all the little dinks that I've left. I've got some easi fill to use but just wondered does this go straight onto the bare plaster ? I plan on white washing walls afterwards with 50/50 water & emulsion.
