Put half a dozen wall tiles on today and noticed some adhesive in the lines between the tile which should obviously be filled with grout at the end. I'm wondering whether this will make a balls up of the grouting - will it? If so how do I remove it when I lay more tiles tomorrow? Is it a real...

What are they stuck down onto?

Sorry to hear about your state of affairs, can you not use a coloured grout to help disguise the minimal offsets?

And have the same stuff on every menu regardless of:- The location The "brand" (beafeater, harvester etc) The clientele These places are just faceless businesses with none of the character or individuality of the traditional pub/inn. And why do they keep having to remind me that the...

Has he filled the roof ventilation space with insulation then? Looks like it from that photo.

See above post for the definition of this phrase.

Maybe it's related to the annoying habit of raising the tone of one's voice at the end of a sentence, giving the impression that everything said is a question being posed? :wink:

No chance. I am working on the bathroom at the moment. Ripping the kitchen ceiling out is a definite no no. I am not "just spraying the stuff around" I am applying it very thoroughly to the timber by brush. Maybe it will work??? Quite true, if I assume you mean "you're going to be 1 happy...

I've pulled up a fair few boards now. Approx 18'' of the end joist (4-5 board widths) are affected at the left hand end of the joist as indicated in the pictures in the OP. At the other end of the same joist, there is an area mildly affected which is about 1 board width. This lies below the...

:shock: :shock: Cut out and replace? Oh dear!! I'll get more of the boards off and see how the rest of it looks. Is there an easier option than replacing the whole joist? Anyway, thanks for the response Mr D. :wink:

I'm ripping out the old T&G pine, ready for 25mm ply for tiling on. The end joist, shown in the pics, has some dry rot present along the top edge. This can be seen in the second photo, at the left hand end where it's about 1/4" deep. It has also penetrated where nails have held the boards...

Full and I mean full renovation!

In short, nothing. The government will tax you about £140 for buying a TV set and putting it in your home. They will call this pathetic tax "The licence fee". It will be used to fund the bloated, out of date BBC, who haven't worked out a way of funding themselves yet, but pay their director...

Yes, interesting topic indeed. There are three pubs in the village I live in, they tend to get quiet in the week but will be busy at the weekends with entertainment etc on like bands. The pubs form quite a "hub" of the community which is good. In the village where I grew up, there were 4...

Work for Mcdonalds. Relevant building advice would be to ensure he only serves burgers.

Cheered me up mate!! :lol: :lol: :lol: !!

I won't touch the lighting and get the guy who re-wired the house to sort it then. Sounds like these councils and how they deal with the regs can difficult. I appreciate the points of wiring correctly but if they are awkward boogers it must grind people down to the point of just doing the...
