you better check to see if the wall is supported first - last thing you need is the opportunity to grace the "DIY Disasters" pages!! The bricks won't be keyed in to the existing hole so any strikes will loosen the surrounding (new) wall, leaving the existing fireplace bricks relatively...

if they left the lintel in, no ( & chances are they would have) It could only be a small steel bar 3'x3"x0.5" or it could be a huge great monster depending on the weight its carrying. In my Bungalow conversion the lintel was tiny as it only supported the bricks to ceiling height - in fact if...

you can use polypipe right up within 1.2m of the boiler/combi etc. You must make sure that you either use the same type fittings that are currently installed (as the internal Dia are different which can cause "blow-offs", or you can use the compression type (also used on copper). Its...

white, and try Sunset in Oldham & they are cheap! ask for Ally. [email protected] I bought a 3*3.5m connie, 2* french doors, front & back door, plus two 1.5*1m windows with openers. £3K inc delivery. The connie was £2300.

you could use reed matting - I saw it on DIY sos last week, and a quality job they did too (some squaddies house so its not surprising!!) ;-). Stapled the matting and platstered on top. no problems with gaps or the un-based plaster cracking and dropping out. maybe they have a web site -...

aaront, where are you based? I need a re-cliamed cast iron end piece as I "managed" to swip the end off one whilst trimming a yew tree. Doh! Would be interested in buying one to replace. House bulit 1935.

why not sleve the pipes down to 10 or 8 mm before you sink in to the wall. That way you've pleanty of room for the skim etc and the chances of heat craks are minimised as the paster depth is greater and the pipe expansion less. BTW I bought 12 cans of expandable foam (750ml) off ebay for £30...

I've just put in 3 bottles, can't remeber the product name, but its in a 500ml white bottle from B&Q. Daft idiot here forgot it was summer though so its sat in the combi not doing anything. (we have an all year round gas guzzling Aga for background heat and a multi point for hot water you see.)...

you could use that perforated drainage pipe, 4"dia I think (or 100mm) under the gravel.

can you take that much off without knackering the door? (Chances are it'll fall to bits, which would be nice as its an external!

homebase do a new range from Richard Bainbridge? Its Beech or Maple I think with very nice mettalic fittings. expensive though.

sounds like a load of faffing, at 2 mins per run its going to take all night!! Oh well, I'll give it ago and se how we get on. cheers Masona

I live in the north west (of England, not London!) - anyone any contacts for digger hire? I've been quoted £180+ Vat for a weekends hire, inc delivery. Is this expensive? bloody daylight robbery it seems? If anyone can point me towards one I'd be more than pleased!!

Just bought a stack of rolls for the (new Sept03) kiddies room (From ToysRus as it fits in with the theme (apparently - ask the wife!!)). Its all pre-pasted stuff. The destructions on the reverse are for normal paste paper Do I just sumberge the Pre-Paste stuff in a trough of water? Does...

ref the flow, your right, there's more coming form the bath than the sink, and when the taps are on hot &full the water runs cold. Time for a new multipoint. know any cheap sellers anyone?

We have bought boards from factories before now. They are deeper than normal boards and when oil soaked found there's no chance of cleaning them. They also emit a constant smell (like the outside of a garage!), and any rugs etc left on will absorb some of the stain. We’ve always removed them...

try your local car access stockist - they sell tons of them!

NO! its deff 60m * 1m high. Bit of a mammoth task, and not looking forward to it to be honest, but at least I know I can order the correct amount from the builders yard, rather than the usual over estimate I normally do! Cheers Masona, appreciate the help! Rob

when I fiited one it was to an existing system so it just fed the pumped shower. BTW they are dead easy to fit, make sure you use the correct size hole saw though - i was quite worried about dropping the back of the flange inside the cyclinder! aggh, I meant an Essex Flange! Doh. A surrey...
