If i read this correct you men the open section that is cast into the concrete base ? If that is the case, you cant simply cut a section out without cutting all the cast base as well. A picture would speak a thousand words

I had a whiteknight. If you think yours is noisy you should have heard mine :shock: Mine also smelt when on highest setting. It turned out that the bearing was shot and that was causing everything else to run slow, thus not enough air flow causing the thing to overheat. I put it on my...

washerpimp, I have a WMA44 Good clean working condition. Wife wanted new graphite one so it would match new cupboards and decor in utility room. You can have it for free if you collect. Theres nowt wrong with it works lovely.

I have just had a new condenser dryer and matching washer delivered. We opted for the graphite coulour so it would match the decor and cupboards in the utility room. Our previous ones were stacked with a stacking kit. I have just rang hotpoint and they want £82.00 for a piece of plastic and...

You could try the liquid stains often used for mortar (bricklaying) Most builders merchants will do them. Cant see any reason why you cant put it into a render mix.

Jerry, Can you tell me why the window cill reveal apears higher now ? look at the frame, there doesnt seem as much visable. Looks as if maybe someone has boarded it ? You sure that isnt what was done to the walls also ? Maybe its a trick of the light.

yeah, It is expensive for what it is. There is another manufacturer of this kind of stuff but i cant remember their bwoody name ? Their gear is far better than the burbridge stuff, much more substancial. Matty: :D

duckegg, dont give up. a lot of so called plasterers will overprice a job like yours simply because it is either too time consuming to do a traditional plastering job or because it is beyond there capabilities (probably latter) Have a ring around and try to find one of us old timers...

roughcaster, I was a little bored this afternoon after the job i WAS meant to be doing was cancelled because the customer FORGOT it was today i was coming. Anyway, I read the full thread all the way through again because i was bored, and i cant beleive Joe stands by his guns with what he...

So long as the guy ensures he finds the joists and secures the new board through the old ceiling and into the joists then all will be ok. just take note to ensure he tapes all the joints with scrim. i usually scrim over the screw heads as well but thats just me.

Hehe, I thought this post was dead and buried :D

Why dont you just fit an air admitance valve ? No need to go through the roof with one of those beauties. Not sure i understand where you have moved your stack but they can even be used INSIDE the loft space without and nasty niffs.

Nothing like being confident with your plumbing skills :D Why dont you fit a shower tray under the bath waste and connect it to the drain for the bath ? That way, should any of the fittings under your bath taps or waste leak it will simply drip into the shower tray :D Then again, what...

water based acrylic glue is best used for vinyl tiles. Spread it on one surface leave it for 20 mins or so to go tacky then go for it. I use this when laying amtico and carndean flooring. If you lived near me i would have given you some for nowt lad.

bwoody heck chirpy :D I remember responding to you cries for help :D Good job mate looks good.. Told you it was easy 8)

I always use 8x4 on the ceiling. But it all depends if you can get them to the room where they are to be fitted. Not always possible.

Dave, Once you have chased out all the pipes and cabling, put capping over the pipes (same as you would use for the cables) Give the chase a good coat of PVA 50/50 mix and then use bonding as you said. So far as prep work is concerned, make sure you have removed all the little bits of...

What i mean is that the first coat is firm enough to accept the second coat without dragging it of. Usually by the time you have skimmed all the walls in a typical size room, its time to lay on the second coat starting with the first wall you plastered. I would say about 20 to 30 mins after...

Second coat should be applied while the first coat is still wet :cry: The purpose of this is to give a final troweling coat in order to achieve a nice flat blemish free finish.
