Just to confirm (i've asked in 'Tiling' too):- I'm boarding out the bathroom with this product (but haven't started yet :wink: ). Not a lot of people report using Lafarge boards though. According to Lafarge website So the bright green face, with the tapered edges, is the one I face...

Good afternoon A question on adhesives, if I may :wink: After much reading I am going with the option of using BAL products. There appear to be many types though!! So which is recommended for:- Wall, with 16x10" tiles on aquapanel/plasterboard depending (A/Panel for shower...

Preparation? I've had sleepless nights mithering over it!! A saying I picked up goes "Fail to prepare - prepare to fail!!!" I'd rather get everything ready than have a crisis and have to make do with some second rate materials from B&Q at 8:00pm. Merchants all the way for me. Just a few...

Thanks for the advice Gcol, priceless!

Thank you very much indeed, well done in giving up the smokes as well 8)

During the forthcoming re-fit of my bathroom furniture I intend replacing all the wastes including totally replacing the soil stack with new. This will be with like for like with the drainage points going into the ground in the same places. The things which will change are an extra approx 3'...

Back to the thread topic..... Don't mind most practical stuff, it's working out what building regulation i need to read in order to change a lightbulb, and deciphering whether I need a BCO visit or not to witness me drilling a hole in a piece of timber, that does my head in. :twisted:

Very true indeed, I am looking into some other alternatives, can't be bothered with 'cheap' stuff (by 'cheap' I don't just mean low price :wink: )

I'd rather call it a form of social untidiness. The mess that some of our cities are now in as a consequence of immigration bears little resemblance to "engineering" in its traditional sense.

Good afternoon, I have more questions which I would like some clarification on as I near the start of sorting my bathroom walls prior to tiling. The first pertains to the plasterboard I am using for the non-wet areas of the walls. This is Lafarge Moisturecheck (i.e. moisture resistant)...

Hmm interesting, I have not tried but looks interesting since I am after replacing a window myself. They only appear to offer one style of frosted/patterned glass though :?

I've got the perfect solution. Post your woes on a DIY forum so people can take the mick out of you. :roll:

Hey, us unfit Brits have lobbied to get darts on the olympics schedule, and no, not just pub olympics. :lol: I am against this olympics for a number of reasons. If you read my post about the lottery then this is dying on its legs due to the probable millions being extracted to fund it (much...

OK a 10mm radius notched for the floor and a 10mm square notched for the walls it will be. Gonna go with BAL adhesives/primer/tanking products (not worked out which yet). Just veered off to the Wickes website which advises that their own brand tile adhesive is "Irritant". I bet it is, in...

Ok a few posts ago I explained the size of tiles I had got (16x10") for the bathroom walls. Gcol told me a 10mm notch was needed for these, thanks mate. Anyway, I have a mosaic border to add in, and have read that a 3mm notch is needed for mosaic. Does this still apply when the mosaic is...

Just, to break off from killing, violence, left wing etc posts, something a little more 'gentle'. Is the lottery going to the dogs? £29 for 4 numbers last night, £624 for 5 numbers and two people got less than a million each for splitting a £1.947m jackpot. Last Weds paid £33 for 4 numbers...

you missed out question 3 - is Joe-90 really "mighty"?

It is a shame, the general dulling down of society. :cry:

Well we certainly have no effective barriers to the influx of everyone elses cast offs thanks to the liberal left wingers so they'll probably end up here. Oh look, another debate about immigration and human rights, which will get locked for people speaking the truth :lol: !

In Italy, not the UK. I, for one, cannot get too worked up about what the Italians are doing when we have enough issues in our own country to worry about.
