I used bog standard wall caps

Cheers for that...im goint to ring local breakers and see if i can get a whole drive shaft ...might be easiest thing to swap it out altogether. How much would a CV joint be on its own new roughly? Marty.

Hey have a toyota starlet...have it since it was nearly new 9 years ago..have absolutely hammered the life out of this car for 165K miles with no trouble. Its been some servant!! Today i was driving through some forest roads a bit too fast and hit a massive pothole i simply couldnt...

Dpc below parapet and below capping. Im not sure about height above roof line but mine ia about 6 inches @ a guess which is ample im sure. Instead of using lead google "plygene rubberised guttering" by sharmanns...i used some last year for the same as what your doing and it worked out WAY...

Cheers Guys, One last question...one wall that is going to be tiled was never tiled before. It is painted...can i tile straight onto the paint?? Marty.

Thanks appreciate the advice Martin

Hi, removed all the tiles from my bathroom the weekend. On one wall some of the skimcoat came off...it was no more than a mill or two. My first question is: do i need to re skim these parts or will a bit of extra grout do the trick in this spot? And my second question...there is still some...

Thanks Seco...and do i do similar for the cold? Must go google surey/essex flanges now! Marty

Anyone? i suppose the question im really asking is this. Is the pump triggered by flow or by a change in differential pressure between its inlet and outlet(i havent bought a pump or shower yet so i have no MI's to go on) Cheers, MArty.

.....i suppose that should say "tee into my bath taps supply" obviously if i put the tee after the pump i would have a pump running needlessly Marty

Hi, Currently fitting my new bathroom suite and am contemplating replacing my electric shower with a pumped shower. The place where i bought my bathroom suit he showed me a few options and one of them suited my needs. I asked about plumbing them and he said youll need a pump and to connect...

Cheers Lunat, Have just gotten the suite now and it looks great(in the shed!!!) Anyways i am going to swap the bath and sink drains to plastic as they just go outside and go into a funnell type arrangement. However the soil pipe I really want to hold onto. I have just measured it up and the...

Cheers for that, When you ssay "stack"...i take it you are talking about the pipe that runs all the way down the outside of my house??..yikes!! Id like to keep it as it itself is a feature and it goes straight down into a pathway....is this where the collar should be?? Thanks, Marty.

Hi guys, My new bathroom suite is arriving tomorrow :-) My existing suite is the original and is 55 years old. Im Ok with plumbing but ive never plumbed a toilet. The waste pipe in my current loo is about 4 inches in diameter,is 6 inches high where it intercepts my current loo,and is nine...

Thanks Flufster...Is LPG the stuff in the bottle?? It was on mains gas in the UK and i intend using it (if i buy it) on mains gas here. Marty.

Hi, Am in ireland and have found a practically new cooker/range that would suit me. It was used in the #uk but when brought here the owners couldnt get mains gas out in the sticks so are selling it rather than converting it. Any reason why it would not work on my mains gas? Cheers, Marty.

Cheers noseall, Same mix u advised for the floor patching last week...that worked out perfect BTW. Thanks again, Marty.

Cheers John, Did a bit of reading appears to be 2 types mainly..bonded and bound..bonded being mixed thoroughly with glue and it allows water to drain through once down and cured....bound is the one you can"bind" to an existing base. So im not sure if i could mix both styles, i think id be...

Heya, Need to build a concrete ramp @ the back of my shed onto the path. (like youd often see going from a roadway onto a path) Its basically so i can get a trailer in and out without chipping the floor. Floor is only 4" above the path...what ratio mix would i use for this? Thanks, Marty.
