Agreed on using the grit gear over pva, give it a tight coat of bonding, perhaps mix it with multi if it doesnt need to be too deep and once it's firmed up coat it with two coats of multi.

Bonding doesnt like having the moisture ripped out of it, it crazes like hell and pops off so I would pva first, the day before then pva again and put if on while tacky. Why not render?

Knocking up a frame from 4x2 is not going to be any more difficult that putting a shed together. As stated before these sheds rely on gravity to keep them locked together, then shrink and expand at large rates due to their design and are not ideal imo for converting into insulated rooms. A...

I think you need to check with the manufacturers instructions as to how much clearance the require above the fitting, LED lights give off heat too. I cannot see the need however for fire rated downlights as the concrete ceiling above your suspended one will be the fire break. Wouldn't it be...

Have you considered other avenues of work in order to keep your savings or reduce the flow of them until something turns up?

Are those singles within a containment system? (ps the plumbers would love a look at that compression fitting haha)

Dont we all :lol:

Come on now fellas, we all know what a ring final circuit is, how it's installed and how it's connected, the OP on the other hand doesnt, although I suspect all the info is in the wiki. We all know how to properly test a ring final (what a lot of additional time consumed there), the OP...

I normally smear a bit of tru blue or what ever on the fitting, it saves remaking or nipping up weeping ones imo.

its quite sexy in any language :lol:

Two ducts he means, not ropes, although with two ducts you'll need two ropes! :D

I really think you should get a different electrician to have a look at the installation, It is amazingly stupid to not have an means of earthing on an installation, very dangerous and the idiot who did the work is very lucky nobody got hurt or died! I would not be letting this bloke near...

Was that a chimney at any point?

sheat :( :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

If we are all doomed then whats to worry about, I'd be worried if 70% of us were doomed, I'd be worried if I was in that 70%, if we are all doomed then we are all in the same boat, lets just carry on as we are.

Mr Martian, could you answer this question honestly - Do you think it is acceptable to leave a child in a hotel room unattended whilst you go to a restaurant?

I am the egg man, they are the egg men, I am the walrus, coo coo ke choo, oh wait a minute....

This is the problem being a subby and putting all of your eggs into one basket, I used to rely on a firm for about 50% of my work, which at the time was only electrical work, had two employees and so on, the company changed hands and I had no work from them, Im still trying to fill some of that...

Quick step is a good brand with a good reputation, im afraid I dont know about the other brand you mention. The fitting price seems cheap to me, Around here the date for a hallway is about £12 to £15 p/m2.

Personal choice, I like to do the floor first as the cuts havent got to be so accurate around the edges where the wall tiles will cover but you could damage the floor tiles if you drop a wall tiles on there.
