All, i need to drill a hole for a outisde tap (large enough for a 15mm pipe inside a plastic tube). i have been wanting to buy a decent drill for some time now but do not want to buy one that - a) cant do the above or b) can do the above but is not much use as a household DIY...

The join that concerns me is the one above the tiles, where the end panel meets the wall. The tile part can be beaded but what about the bit above that?

Uploaded with ImageShack.us where i've marked 'join here' is where i'm not sure how it'll look, won't i have a piece of wood stuck to the wall with a visible join all the way up the side of the wall?

Can you illustrate this on the pic please? I'm a total novice :)

How will this get rid of the uneven join of cupboard side and wall?

I have removed some cupboards from the kitchen and have been left with a small piece of blank floor. The tiles in the rest of the kitchen look like this - I know that I'm never going to find them again to do the gap with so what do people recommend?

Not sure I understand this one.

Just so I fully understand, you mean build up the wall to the cupboard side level with plaster? After trimming back of course. I think this is the way forward

French doors are there now - far left of puc

I'd like to have that area painted not tiled.

It does not go the whole depth so I can shorten it off but if I make it flush higher up ill lose an inch an have to resize the cupboard floor and door. I suppose I could retain the width by using L brackets an have the side of the cupboard raised still.

I have been left with an uneven surface which I need to make even. The unevenness is caused by the side of a kitchen cupboard which is attached to the wall, as below Any ideas on what I can do to retain the cupboard but make the wall smooth so I can plaster it? Dan

Spray? With pva?

Mine is dot an dab but the gap is not too big - is that why you glue in off cuts?

Thanks for the input everyone. I've it some spare bricks outside so ill chop one up and put it in the hole then go at it with ready mix.

I've heard that I should use bonding coat to fill it too? Is it a case of just whacking anything in there an then replastering?

will that stay firm underneath plaster and not sag?

How do you go about filling an old plug socket hole and chase? It was a double socket cut into brick work and plaster board. Pic to follow: Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/img]

thanks for your help :D

I have one small L shaped bracket left at back - between the cupboard side and the worktop. So is it just a case of replacing these for the front and back of the cupboard side wall?
