I've been on the British gas site to no avail Paul. I recon it's gonna be a case of who you know rather than what you know.British gas will train you up if you do get in. My bosses son was trained as an engineer then somehow jumped ship to british gas. he's doing maintenance rather than install...

differant batteries. lxt are slide on rather than push.

radiator now up. thanks for replies

sorry should have wrote it's a posy radiator and can't put board behind it as you'd see it.The Ply is underneath plasterboard. Would toggle fixings be Ok ?

Bet you've got a much nicer bath though :lol:

What is the best fixing for attaching a radiator to Ply board?.

Cheers,

Been looking around for a new finish nailer and might buy either of these 2. Paslode IM65A http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=83658 OR DEWALT DC618KB...

Yeah,mainly gonna be used for skirtings and facings. been thinking. might spend a bit more money and go more up market

i'm get lazy these days and can't be bothered carting the compressor around. seen this nailer. Anyone used it or can recomend another cordless brad nailer ?. i know ryobi do one but only does up to 32mm nails which is too short. http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=83681&ts=95565

Hi,DIY PLasterer here. i am dropping the height of my door frame down about 5cm. i am gonna do this the easy way by screwing some wood from underneath into the top of the existing door frame. question is. When i skim the wall. Do i just PVA the wood to get the plaster to stick to it...

Yes, this is the older model. it doesn't have positive stops on the bevel which the new one does.so should be much more accurate as i have the old one and don't completely trust the angles on it.

question answered lol

i always use my impact driver for putting screws in everything. i never use my drill/driver as the impact driver is way lighter / smaller / has double the torque(when needed) and the bit never jumps the screw head either .

buy youself a plastering dvd on ebay. will cost you maybe £10-£20 or so but will give a good angle in how to do it.

the marshalltown one are quite pricey though. you can get a Marshalltown "LIKE" set on ebay for £60. anybody used the cheaper ones ?

. i would stick some no nails on the book and stick the book in !.. no , only jokin, cut back the plasterboard (horizontally) to the studs and board up with appropriate sized board. fit noggins if needed. then scrim tape round the joins

The dewalt screwdriver bits are crap. They break easily and don't fit as snug in a PZ2 as other ones i've used. To me the brand is not as important but good stuff generally costs more.
