:shock: You won't find many railway inclines that steep!

Not a lot - at a guess my size 8s cover 2/3rds of a square foot - and carry 150lbs :-)

No pro's answering, so here's my 2p worth, firstly this might help: http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=161001 As the last post - I'd go for plasterboard 3mm lower than existing finish and get a plasterer in to skim the opening (and the damaged edges etc). As you have started -...

Doesn't happen to me. Paint should go on the brush, not the tin :twisted: We are decorating my daughters house at present and my wife was glossing - noticed she was squeezing any excess paint out of the brush by dragging the brush horizontally over the rim, and in a different place every...

As part of a bathroom/toilet merge I will be butting a stud wall at 90 degrees to the existing plastered corner of block wall. My question is should I lap the plasterboard over the plastered end of the wall (as photo), or butt joint it against the plaster the old door frame was (i.e slide the...

If you can find somewhere that lists BTU outputs for non finned radiators - use this to find the equivalent finned size. Did this when replacing a non-finned bathroom rad with towel rail rad - was about 10 years ago though.

Spent another hour on it this afternoon. Progress so far. Drilling/chiselling the mortar and then a bash with a lump hammer seemed to work well - couldn't crowbar to much (need a better crowbar!) Plan is to remove the wall and return you can see and the wall behind to the doorway you can...

We I re-filled this afternoon from a full loft tank and all was fine - must have been a weird airlock or and a temp blockage. Thanks.

Won't fit up the stairs :lol:

Snowed this time last year - had a great easter Saturday walk in the brecons through what was left of it.
