B&Q 'bog in a box' ?

The elephant in the room, as I see it, is the distance from the back wall to the centre of the soil pipe exiting through the floor. I don't think a 'space saver' pan - connector will fit easily, and that the cistern will need to be fixed to a batten bring everything 40-50mm forwards. Of course...

Should we? or, Could we? I well remember the change from £SD to 'new-money' in 1971, it confused the carp out of a lot of people. My grandparents who had a coffee-stall in the centre of town here, had to have a session of trading with pretend money amongst family on the eve of inception, and...

8 out of 10 boilers I fit are Viessmann..... 1 in 100 are worcester. I always offer a choice of minimum two different manufacturers, (I suspect the price difference and the longer warranty period between say, the viessmann and the worcester, swings it for the viessmann) Get a magnetic filter...

dunno about the structural side, but hey, that could double as a tandoori oven as well, imagine authentic woodfired pizza with tandoori chicken skewered pieces. Yum Yum.

My customers who have one, love it. Until. the resin core splits, and millions of resin beads of microscopic size are released en-masse and block up valves, taps, shower heads you name it. I see one every six months or so doing this, all makes included, from the £300 all-in to the £1500 plus...

Just warming up my Crystal Ball to try to see inside your WC cistern..... Nope no good, the walls are too thick. Any chance of a picture or three?

Hmm, lets see now, UK governments have negotiated with Irgun/Stern gang, IRA, and maybe many many others over the recent decades. (oh and they usually deny it to start with, of course) So yes isil/daesh may be the worst out there at the moment - by far, but who said "jaw-jaw is better than...

if you do cut out the old and replace the sealant, make sure when applying the new stuff, that you spit on the tip of your finger to smooth it into place, then you can repeat the experience in six months. none of those namby pamby 'fugi' sealant application tools or white-spirit for me, oh no...

Isolation point for the hob is where exactly?

And, of you are going away on holiday and leaving your home unattended, tel EVERYONE about it on DIYNOT, face tube etc, 'cos potential burglars may just be able to put 2 + 2 together.

Are we talking "emma freuds" here?, the old "grapes of Wrath"? One of those whoooopeee cushions with the middle cut out. With a bag of frozen peas in it.

get yourself some Glaziers Suction cups.... ( you know the ones in the movies, whenever there is a comedy car chase in a city centre, there is ALWAYS a large sheet of glass being carried across that very same street at that very same time) use them all too regularly when replacing stone trays in...
