Welcome to our journey of turning our first house into a home. Over the coming months I'll try and keep this updated with the details of everything that is going on with a load of pics. I find reading other peoples projects interesting so I thought I'd share my own. Background: My wife and I...

i think you are supposed to use either a bolster and mallet or a chisel on an SDS. Since the sides of the chase are already done th emiddle will come out fairly easily. When i have to chase some wiring in the new year i'm just going to hire a chaser and vac from HSS to make life easy.

And when its a child? It would still have gone over the bars and I'd think EVERYONE agrees that children shouldn't be in the road on their bikes regardless of the letter of the law.

you gave me a good chuckle at the end of a long night shift. thanks lol.

good job too. Men shouldn't share food lol. thanks for that :)

do I need to get the popcorn? lol

just out of interest Richard, what is the reason for not using white grout? it it just because it will get dirty fast?

I have a man coming in on Thursday to replace the tank and move the CH tank off of that stack. Hurrah!

Your best bet is to check out somewhere like www.blu-ray.com A whole bunch of anoraks review the Blu's and essentially tell you if the transfer had any effort put into it or not. For example, Zulu looks WTFOMG incredible because it was made on decent 70mm stock and had a decent amount of...

mucho grassyarse :)

I'll be laying 300x300mm polished porcelain tiles tirectly onto the tiled floor in my kitchen. These existing tiles are laid onto the concrete floor and are throughout the ground floor of the house (no idea why, that's the 1950's for you) and dont want to budge easily and i'm happy to leave them...

hehe. We think it was more to do with the old woman living there not wanting her other cupboards moved but we dont know. I have a man coming to move it dont worry :)

well the bosch metal detector says that the plate at the bottom of my lil chimney is metal so i guess its just a case of repainting and trying to ignore it lol

forgive my ignorance, but a gallows bracket is one of these? There is no sign of them anywhere in the kitchen. If you see the second image the orange cube in the corner of the room is just that, a cube. Where would these brackets be located? I tihnk i'll life the boards upstairs tomorrow...

hehe thanks for that chaps. I was indeed going to start from the top of the stack. Not sure about the bit in the kitchen though. It seems to have a metal plate screwed into the base of it but i just don't know what is supporting the bit upstairs. Obviously the bit in the loft is supported by the...

thanks chaps. It was going to be ply and certainly with a larger footprint than the tank.

Having just gotten into my new loft for the first time i found this old disused coal boiler stack up there. The flue within no longer goes through the roof and the stack itself stops just short of the roof. Is there any reason i shouldnt be able to just remove it brick by brick myself...

Off the top of my head i cant remember the size but several of the tanks on screwfix will definately go through the hatch as they are under 500mm on two sides. some more pics for your perusal That chimney isnt the proper one, it is just the remnant of the coal boiler the house had...
