Bump

Feels really quite smooth and it's being painted eventually.

Bump

I have a piece of wall that was recently plastered and next to it a piece that wasn't. The piece that wasn't has a white powdery coating on it. In the picture below its the bit that looks white, adjoining the door frame. The plasterer said get some easi fill and sand it up smooth. To me it...

Ah, didn't realise you could risk that with clothes drying. How do you feather the filler?

Yes it's apparent in other places to. Not sure if there was silk underneath but it's a possibility (I didn't decorate the house). When I peel it off it takes the surface back to board. Do I have to strip the whole wall - if so how the hell do I do that without having a massive task?

What do I do to rectify this mess and also, what causes it to happen in the first place? Many thanks, Dan

not bothered about the colour mismatch its the grout lines that are going to look ridiculous i think, any other opinions? I'm thinking I might just take the whole floor up an re-tile it.

More importantly, what are opinions on the below; the issue being the non matching of tile size, meaning I'll have a large grout line to compensate. Any thoughts on whether I should just lay these with the big gap?

just checking its acceptable to finish with a slither. never tiled anything before. thanks, Dan

All, What do I do here - Cut a small slither of tile or . . . ?

Is the L1 in the below for the switched live? Or, rather, if I connect my switche live here will it give manual override?

A circular saw is that? Thinking of buying a cheap one to do the job.

I'm doing one piece and taking off a third length ways so don't want additional expense. Would consider hiring if it is guaranteed nice cut tho.

Any tips? I'm reasonably steady but I would never trust myself not to leave a curve, albeit only slight.

Hi, What is the best saw to use to cut a straight edge through a chipboard end panel? Thanks, Dan

so buy the manual override light and wire up perm off (iso) and PIR live, then flick the switch on/off to perm on? sounds best if i take this approach as im a certified numpty with this kind of stuff :oops:

Surely i can install a switch which turns the damn light on? i think im just going to get a light without PIR, that would make it very much simpler. :(

can isolate by removing the 13a fuse at socket FCU

I may be totally confused here but can't i have the perm on and off function from the switched FCU? i dont want a wall full of plastic FCU/Switches - i thought i could just have light switch on the wall and flick it on for permanent light and off for PIR only? :?:
