yup, just came back to say when i opened the fixings bag i found some other bits and see you guys have posted the same. what a numpty!! :oops:

rotate image 90 degrees anticlockwise to get it the right way up :oops:

hi, just bought a "flomasta" panel radiator from screwfix, it came with 4 "bracket buffers", plastic bits clipped onto the radiator. I assume these are to stop metal on metal noises as the metal expands and contracts. i can't see how to fit these and still get the radiator to hook onto...

i've used toolstation online a lot (for diy needs) and found them to be quick, always arrived next day, also only 10 quid spend needed for free delivery

Is DIY fit of that possible for a condensate pipe? modified my condensate pipe to 32mm but if it still freezes this winter i'll need to revisit the problem.

no problem, i see lots of posts where I wonder how things worked out for people so I've decided in future to post updates on my own (if i remember) in case it helps others. :)

I had a similar problem (no pump involved though), i replaced my hot water cylinder with a mains pressure one and had fitted a gate valve on the cold feed to limit the hot flow rate with the theory it would stop people using up all the hot water too quickly. what i discovered though was that...

so, in the end only one door had a big enough gap (3mm) that needed some attention. i had some 3mm hardboard i saved from the back of a kitchen unit, cut a thin strip, glued and clamped to the architrave, light sand down when dry then fitted as normal. should be undetectable when finished...

i have a similar sounding problem on an ikea chair. i suspect the missus cleaned the arm rests with something she shouldn't have and years later they still feel sticky (and look a lot dirtier now) one day it may get sanded and re-varnished, too many other things to do first though....

the stuff i've got is half round and looks on paper to be a match to the range on the wedsite called "crescent".

Hi, Need to repair my guttering before this winter as I broke a coupling/bracket and chipped another bit with all the ice we had last winter. It's terrain guttering, crescent shaped, from about 1985. Just wondering if the modern stuff will be an exact match? I may even replace it all...

i've fitted a U04 before (134x98) and would not have been able to do it without help.

were those bits of wall repaired at any time? I've noticed when I paint that if the wall has been patched or repaired with filler it goes darker due to that bit of wall having slightly different absorbancy. It normally sorts itself out when it dries though.

thanks for all the tips and replies, not had a chance to measure and look more closely to see if it's an even lip all round, will check tonight and decide on the best course of action. I also did think about planing the frame, but decided against it as i didn't want to take it out to do it...

interestingly, when I was doing research for my project I read the part H document (although I'm in scotland) and if you read the section in this document http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/br/BR_PDF_ADH_2002.pdf, Page 9, Table 2 it indicates that the minimum fall is 18mm per metre...

as mentioned, not sure of the correct name of it but it's not the decorative, shaped kind. In profile, it's just a rectangle with the two outer corners rounded off. I'll need to measure properly as I only did a quick visual check with an offcut last night once I had finished taping and...

Hi, Just getting round to fitting the architrave on some door frames I've fitted. The door frames are a few mm wider than the wall I've built so the architrave does not sit flush. If the gap was small enough I would just caulk it but I think that will look sloppy in this case so I reckon...

just discovered that problem yesterday on a one of my external corners (been using the metal embedded in paper stuff). need to be more meticulous when applying the compound next time

he's only posted once since joining so I don't think you're going to get a reply from him.
