    Designing a girls bed

    Thanks for some really good feedback. Yeah I changed the joint to this: I take your point about the ladder. I will rethink it to make the bottom of the holes wider. Yes the idea is to paint the grooves and the roller over the raised parts. I was thinking of using some sort of...

    Designing a girls bed

    I guess 40mm would be right, given 3/4 inch board.

    Designing a girls bed

    Checked out sketch up (I like, thanks). I will produce a sketch and post it here. I intended to use board for each side. The mattress / bed size is US single. I will need to use two boards for the long sides. I was wanting to etch / grind a stone pattern (essentially etch out the...

    Designing a girls bed

    I would like to build my 4yr old girl a new bed. The basic idea would be a loft bed with a play area underneath. Basic construction would consist of 4x4 vertical posts with 2x4 horizontal struts. The 2x4 would be mitered and insert into 4by4s. The outside walls would be 3/4inch board. I made...

    Grout colour and sealing

    I'm tiling a bathroom with large 300mm x 600mm tiles. Wall tiles are beige, floor tiles are a darker mud colour. I wanted to match the grout colour, and was going to mix coffee in to the grout. That was before I did some research on the web, which seemed to suggest that this was a bad idea...

    Thermostatic valve in wall

    Thanks newboy. There is one joint between the shower head and the left side of the valve. I will look into some sort of sleeving and clips. The hot and cold feeds are at the top and bottom of the valve. Both feeds are 22mm. The shower head is converted to 15mm. The tees that you might...

    Unusual lighting install in bathroom.

    I bought a Osram Halotronc Mouse, but I'm not sure it will do the job. It seems to have an output that they describe as complex AC. I think the voltage is 12V RMS, but it is not a sine wave. This is OK for halogen lamps, but not for my setup. Not sure what this would do if I bridge...

    Unusual lighting install in bathroom.

    I want to install lighting something a little unusual in the bathroom 4 leds in series. Current driven 20mA, each led dropping around 2.5V. Lots of them dotted around the bathroom, with wiring behind the tiles. 3mm Leds that fit between 4mm gap in tiles. I have experimented with creating...
