Hi ... Original posted was 2004 So that's 21 years ago How is your Electrical skills these days I was looking over old posts, as I had a friend today that had all her bathroom down lights fail & the wiring was real poor I found 1 junction box in crawl space that has a fist full of switch...

Maybe this is another case for *SUPER GRAN*

Have you guys ever took notice of the Wattage measurements on the Rear of domestic light switches? I've NEVER once done it myself, but I just read it, while I was pottering about on Dr Google Does it help you guys?... Or is it just summit that's OVERKILL

I have a concrete hard 8m x 3m. No plant matter, nothing to Scran. All they have is the Green **** that seems to have Overpowered everywhere lately. You know, Just green mildew from a damp concrete area. The slugs must come from my homes airbricks, at ground level & they just MOOCH around the...

I appreciate your comment regarding what WE both would recommend as a "Best Practice"... ... although many times, it's Outa my hands. The customer has been filled with crap from B&Q. I actually went to B&Q because I needed to understand what the heck he was recommending I've already told a...

What you say , sets my mind at rest. I agree ...yes...it's just a case of the floor has expanded due to normal conditions . Because NOT One area was open for 'Point 2 point contact' with any bare concrete. The rolls of underlay were all layed really recently. Thanks yeh....appreciate your efforts

Yes I agree with your thinking. The floor surely had all expanded and now it's touching at various points. As a comment said..Im supposed to use wedges to keep the initial gap & then lay floor. we all know about the need for expansion. So I had to screw the first row down ..as a temporary...

It's getting worse. So all i can do is remove a skirting board along one side of the room and check there's a expansion gap

Yes great comment

Cheers but I installed the foil underlay myself and it came up the edges also. Maybe one area could be a problem ...at the door leading to the hall. The floor stops here & a door bar separates rooms. That edge could be pulling moisture I guess

I said that from start. So I made sure their foil backed underlay was installed perfectly. I wanted the rolls of matting that peels away leaving a semi sticky face The boards wouldn't move using that. But NO .They wouldn't change it . As B& Q said theirs was fine ffs

Solid Oak engineered t&g planks Each pack contains 4 or 5 different lengths. Biggest issue maybe 1200mm, smallest is 300 maybe. No locking system for t&G So glueing was only option, as we had a concrete subfloor

The subfloor is concrete B&Q told customer to lay and leave a expansion gap. No need to glue planks, because they'll just be good little planks & NOT bloody move ehh So he calls me, I ask for the sticky rubber underlay. I get told .."NO...we've already bought the foil backed underlay So I get...

Sorry ... Metal system . The metal stud system..i get it now

No mate, everything you mentioned is Spot on. I also was aware of all those 'Pit Falls' you mentioned above, but I 'Hold my Hands Up' those 'Variables' within the existing house, made the job VERY TOUGH. There was no real datum to take consistent accurate measurements from. Some walls are brick...

It's easy for me to picture the job, but I appreciate my ramblings may be hard work to picture. So imagine a rectangular room that has a 300mm wide walkway all around the rooms edges, which is also 3" lower than the rest of the rooms floor. Now wack that on the ceiling
