in future, ask for 'fully rectified' tiles. All will be the same size. even with man-made tiles, be it ceramic or porcelain, the firing process changes the shape of tiles that went into the kiln identically sized. The rectification process cuts them all to size. Most often seen with...

any self respecting porcelain tile will be fully vitrified. completely non-porous, polished or not. look at the box - it should tell you. (it is pretty obvious - even in Italian!)

Porcelain all the way (and it's moot point!)

i know how to do a three way mitre with the standard quarter round plastic or metal trim. Been there done that. I am tiling my kitchen splashback, and am taken with the flat metal trim. Looks very neat with the tiles we've chosen. However, i need to do two threeway mitres as the splashback...

we used Mapei Chocolato for some brown tiles - looks excellent

apologies - i can appreciate the offence caused!

well done you were a soldier. whoop di f*cking doo now, back to scrap copper....

my latest opinion on this is that as this is a radial circuit, and this is a central socket near the main run, the cable from the CU arrives here, and there is a wire off to the left, and a wire off to the right, hence three wires make sense?

firstly , this is a DIY forum, and a scrap metal discussion at that, so i have made no mention of my patriotism or otherwise. For the record, I am far from apathetic, and whilst I am not personally in the Services, I have a family with a proud Military history, in both the army and the Navy...

maybe he has the stamina to perspire in bed.....

got home last night. you have never seen so many swatches in your life!

must have written it badly nothing wrong with the porcelain sink at all. it is the plastic bits underneath. there is a plastic thingy that gathers from both plugs that looks pretty specific (cant find a replacement) it is this plastic thingy that has a screw fix attachment for the...

i think this racial rhetoric (from both sides) is pretty pathetic. sinking to insults like this (from both sides) is a sound way to lose an argument. why are we not talking about the financial, economic, environmental and ethical concerns of scrap metal recycling, and suddenly talking...

i have a large belfast-type sink unit that i rescued from an old Habitat freestanding unit, and have plumbed it into my new kitchen. the plastic connection underneath that connects the two bowl wastes and the overflow seems pretty unique 0 i cant find a like product anywhere. the...

so, just finish decorating the new living room - one mist and two finish coats over plasterboard The Minister for Domestic Affairs then stands there looking at the glorious brilliant white that she wanted, and asks "can we have a light cream or silvery grey?" so, if I give into this...

to be honest - i think we need pictures of this...... :lol: :lol:

on the other hand.... I had a builder that claimed to get the best rates for everything. He was a very small-time chap, and reasonably experienced, but has a mate 'John' that can beat all prices, get better prices than a volume house-builder etc etc. His claims were so outlandish, that i...

i've just done this same job with a wooden worktop, but with the assistance of a joiner. he mentioned a technique similar to yours for holding the brackets in place, but a bit simpler he screwed in a couple of short screws over the bracket flange (without drilling out holes) and said this...

not necessarily you need to understand what is beneath the concrete, and how big a void there is. if it is plasterboard on 25mm strapping straight onto the concrete, it would be relatively straight forward. make a hole in the ceiling big enough that you can see / get a tape measure in...

very nice shed. beats a B&Q £99 special hands down I hope it is securely held down to ground / founds. one comment - you said you needed a big shed for a ride-on mower..what are you mowing with that? Garden looks like a postage stamp! I assume you have other acres elsewhere, or are a...
