Just like all the others ive seen. That orrible self adhesive tape goes on the day before final inspection and comes off 2 minutes after BCO leaves. So to be precise no, yes, no. I will be bored if I get "its there for a reason" :wink:

No and yes. They needed to have non slip front surface on steps but thats easy to get round. Apart from that they fully comply.

You'd have to get up them 1st :wink:

Id love to do that far a day

Ive read that moss doesnt like copper and fixing a strip to the ridge on a roof would stop it growing. Maybe you could find something like a wire to tack to the top of the wall to create a similar solution.

The best way I have found of describing how to get the mix right is, if you roll up a cricket ball size of screed then try to split it half like a terrys chocalote orange. If its too wet your fingers will just dig in, if its too dry it will just crumble, if its just right it will cleanly...

Thanks for the comments. With the handrails its not as bad as you think. My 3 year old doesnt have any problems with it. I did a bit of bargaining with someone from ebay who had some oak work tops that had some edge damage. It was no problem to hide the knicks as it was cut up into small...

Heres another pic of my nearly finished extension. There are handrails now to bring it upto regs. Theres also smd led rope lights down each side. This is the inspiration I googled This is what I made This gives a small idea of what was involved.

As promised heres a couple of photos of my wetroom. The glass is 20mm thick, recessed into the wall and floor and is lit by an 12v smd led rope. Its a trial light for now and has proved it should be a bit lighter and bright blue!! or red or green or a combination. More to follow...

I would imagine this is the main family bathroom? If kids are involved and they cant use your ensuite Id be thinking of a way of keeping a bath. If you go with a shower I would go with your first option because you dont want to walk through a wet floor just to get to the loo. AstonMatthews do...

Use chemibolts. They either come in a glass thimble or more ofter a two part adhesive in a silicon type tube. Squeeze the adhesive into the hole and drop in some studding. That way you will not put extra stress on the concrete. But 250kg free standing glass panel!!!!!. How wide is you track...

OMG. Tell me more. I have a wet UFH. This may save me a fortune. Ive thinking about a diy pre heat system form ages.

Ive layed engineered wood but in a couple of places I have hollows. Ive used BAL92 to glue the floor down onto screed with wet ufh. However I have a couple of hollows that are large enough to annoy me. Is there a way of filling these. Ive thought of using a syringe and drilling small holes for...

Im sold on SMD LED rope lighting. I bought some as a back light for some stairs but tried it out under the kitchen units and Im amazed to say the light is just like Halogen!! I love the light and as its only 10mmx 4mm its extremely versatile and dissapears into tiny places, it can even be placed...

Just completed mine. I used a wickes ogee, turned round and painted the back. This gave me a square skirting. I found it less hassle and just as cheap as getting it cut. i used mdf because of warping. For the architrave I used the same as the door stops, 1.5"x 0.5". On the door stop side I...

Ive just done this for first time on 5 doors and found the only tricky questions I needed to ask myself were; what height to fix the frame and what gap between the door and door stops did I need. For fixing the frame I did exactly as above. Ive read "never adjust the frame to the door", well, if...
