    Tile Adhesive not set

    Thanks for the comments. Rapid set was great to work with. I'm thinking about using what's left of the bal primer to go over where previously pva'd, as the PVA was so dilute (1:5 as per instructions) some neat primer should help? M

    Driveway lights

    How about a couple of bulkhead lights with low power energy saving bulbs, connected to a timer plug? You'd need to change the tidings a couple of times a year though!

    I've just installed a shower with a shallow trap, and I used the wrong gradient for the waste pipe. It's about 2.5m with a couple of bends, 40mm pipe. I incorrectly thought that 1:40-1:80 would be ok but this is the wrong waste gradient! In order to achieve 18-90mm per metre I'd have to go...
