Think they realised they have wrote off the bath , is pointless to plumb in after missing with the taps . 90 bend lol deserves a yeha Soil pipe looks like it runs through the bottom of the cabs , obviously is a problem as the toilet not yet working . Lowering the ffl will mean tile lines are...

Some of the plastic wall panels are so thin can see manufacturers track marks within the panel once fitted . So choose a decent one or will look aweful Is water that has caused the tiles to pop out . In theory can cover tiles with the panels , but will only be stuck on as good as the tiles .

The self taping panhead type fixings I would use , a 5mm pilot hole helps when fitting the metal plug , flush brackets on the back hooked over the system screws that come with the fixing . Accurate marking out an transferring of measures , can adjust on back of head board if wonky . Imagine the...

Awww sorry to hear , would think buying from a company like Wickes to be a safe bet .

Should of used a spade to rip up the old ply , is not good practice imho Is only 25 mm of wood bottom of your door then is hollow . Cut 40mm or whatever from bottom , clean up the piece to remove face board with plane and glue it back in with wood glue few claps . Half hour job , door weighs...

They probably send a team back in a few weeks to dig them up to tarmac .

Looks high Cut the door , clean up the bottom rail and glue it back in . Could try using a tapered fillet over a few inches width , under the underlay/under the carpet to bring the level up for a metal threshold , or use piece of tile trim and some 30mm strips to face off the step .

This is the product I used http://www.colasproducts.co.uk/bituminous-products/packed-products/bridge-joints-and-sealants/sett-grout/ DIY, using a roofers boiler was fun heating it to 210C to achieve a 190C pour . Coal tar pitch is not available , well it was but at £5/kg

I dont know lol but it looks authentic the adhesive will set faster with airflow ? Could always fill the no gap with a dark grout later ? Raking & sponging it out so to get minimal with a seal . Edges be more prone to chipping without grout and bits of water could get under in , but it looks...

Used traditional lime mortars

After searching the country i found these stones locally / Decided to construct the drive to a carriageway specification as essentially thats what it is , was an excavation of 450mm . Took weeks to clean , gauge , row , patern and lay the stone but I got there in the end Pitch jointed...

I think your method involves sticking down the hardie with 2 beads of adhesive using 12 minimal screws to tack it down while the beads of adhesive set . My method is fixing the board mechanically using screws at measured centres to ensure all the board is fixed solid Would not want to...

The screws go every 200mm or less , basically peppered so is no glue required screw them down tight . The cement board supplier will stock the special screws Sealing the chipboard is pointless tbh keeping it practical. So long as in good condition and not loose or creaky the cement board can go...

Yes a nice piece of 3 (+)x 1 timber @ 2ft long would only need 2 good fixing points to hold . Then can easily fix the hooks with small screws . If you are lucky , maybe can place the screws to hold the timber , behind the hooks so they are hidden . Could have a nice edge put on the timber also ...

I think they meant to go on batten installed to manufacture specification .

Screw the boards to the chipboard using self tapers , dont need to seal the chipboard the cement boards protect it , could use a pva sealer on the chipboard , can seal the joints with silicone . Is not like will be rivers running under the tiles .

Easy repair for a multiskilled joiner

Longer screws , bigger gauge , more brown plugs , can knock a brown plug into a brown plug , sometimes can use multiple to get a fix . Internal walls are made of muck , is chances is nothing behind the plaster . Try a few inches the other way . Fit a rail and fit the hooks to that ? Get a good...

I really like Valspar paint , is expensive goes twice as far .

Is a tape and tanking paint for joints . Run the boards down below bath level and tank/seal to bath edge before tiling . Assuming you can board it square and within few mm tolerance . Might loose a lot of bath edge fitting the boards on top plus tile . Yes tile floor after bath is fitted...
