Need some experience here if anyone can help please! Building a low supporting wall, 60m long. Going for the Flemish (?) bond, which I believe is 2 course of stretcher followed by 1 header, repeated. If the walls 60m long and 1m high (form footings), how many bricks will I need. (Did that...

Does the L1 and L2 not suggest two separate live feeds, separately fused? ie 1 pipe in split to hob & oven? I'm no spark though. Ps like you bit on floor finishing, I bet it frustrates you when you see so many Lawrence Lew-bodged floors on TV!

buckets out tonight then! is there a standard? thanks for the advice

Hi guys, nice weather at last eh!! Just bought one of these from Screwfix 66228 SINGLE LEVER BATH/SHOWER MIXER . Fitted it to my new shower bath. Supplied off the 15mm feed to the cistern, basin shower cube and now bath. The flow to the basin and shower is great, however the flow to...

the local (NW Bolton) BR guy told me that there was a 12 month time span on any work - ie after that time they could not demand you fix it, although they will strongly advise if needed.

if you need some more, I have a quantity (2500!!) of GU and GZ10's all 50w 240V ceramic bases, and sealed beams!

what kind of bulbs are they?

thanks DAZB! Rob

bought some wall paper over the weekend. (Usually use the paste the wall as its far easier; however..) Anyone have aay tips on trimming the paper for skirts etc without the paper tearing. I have been given one of those Harris rulers (two planes, one set at 30Deg to the 1st). I use a stanley...

thats the fella! cheers masona

a guy at work did a simlar job and hired some acrows, and what looked like bits of Right Angle alli. Apparently they sit in between the bricks (in the motar joint) and support the existing structure, supported by each acrow. cost him about £4 per week each I think. beats a scaffold plank...

can you use the Wicks adhesive rather than plug&screw every 12"? (Just put down a new floor over the connie screed. used 12mm Brazil Ply screwed 32(!) times per 8*4 sheet.) The Wicks option sounds easier and a lot less labour intensive - how good is it?

I have, prefer 240V though. All fixings are above where the water could ingress so I think I'll fix them this wekend and see how we get on - worst is it'll trip out I suppose?(6amp on 1.5mT&E to juction then splits in 1.0mmT&E to each unit. Total 6 units @ 50W). Cheers for the link. Rob

there was the (4.95) minimum postage charge - then a £5.95 handling charge. usually save up till I've got +£45 worth of stuff to save on the P&P

Any sparks in the forum? I'm installing new soffits and fascias. The felt has been renewed (two runs) and 6mm ply has been installed to support the last 12" of felt. My soffits are 450mm wide, so I'm installing so chrome down-lighters to smarten them up a little. Void is 450mm wide and...

I've had quite a bit from them too. - just gutted they've managed to add another charge on to the otherwise excellent service.

quote "or is it purely down to head" I think Divine Brown can answer that best ;-) The pump we used quoted "ltr/min" and thus was quite easy to work out how long we would get in the shower without running it dry. (not that that would happen as you have the feed back in so it would just go...

We had the small parkie flooring down, onto a bitumen floor. When we tried to salvage it the wood it either split or got damaged. In the end we had to use a bolster chisel as they were fimly fixed - in some cases splitting the wood down the middle rather than lifting up. When we assesed the...

best locate the joist underneath otherwise you could be re-plastering too! That-is unless its on a solid floor!
