    Locked Topics

    This is one of the few forums that I look in on where racism and immigration is not discussed. Some go too far but at least they debate, on here the word black has only got to be used and you would think it's a recruitment drive for the KKK. Best stick to cutting edge stuff like "ice...

    shoprider mobility scooter

    I had a demo few weeks ago, could be broken down in a matter of seconds without tools, the heaviest part being the battery.

    Quite frankly I'm getting pi**ed off

    The best way to deal with him, is to ignore him completely, I would imagine he is used to that in his REAL life.

    Couldn't agree with you more. The idiot you mention along with mods with twitchy fingers, has all but destroyed general chatter

    Liability for faulty kitchen worktops

    If you supplied them, it's down to you. You really have to go over gloss worktops looking for defects, if you did and did not find any, can you be sure the customer has not caused the damage. Unless you are a big spender at Howdens, I doubt they will do anything and would proberly say...

    The Third World

    But even at it's best these people have a poor diet, wouldn't the body change to suit. I read something many years ago, research( I use the term loosely) done by the Germans in the second world war, found that the instinct to reproduce was second only to breathing in males and third in...

    Kitchen base units

    The 1000 unit is set away from the wall. Mearure 500 along on the unit, fix the post on the mark, get it into position, then position the other unit to the post. You will find that the dimension from the outside edge of the 1000 unit to the wall works out to about 1130. Don't forget to...

Other differences int. 545 deep, free 580 deep.. int. provision for continuious plinth and access to filter, also meant to be built in, so air...

    i wanna be a plumber;honest

    Nobody chooses to become a tradesman, it's a calling. It is one or more of the following; The desire to make people happy. The wish to turn out quality work, the money does not matter. The pleasure of working in peoples homes, where you are made to feel part of the family, gives a...

    PLEASE HELP! B&Q and my kitchen saga...part 1

    A good result, shows what a good shout can do. I wouldn't worry about the tiling, most do it after the worktops are in. Now it seems to be sorted, hope it runs smoothly for you.

    PLEASE HELP! B&Q and my kitchen saga...part 1

    Minxlj, welome to the wonderful world of kitchens, 40 years in the trade and it's worse now than it's ever been. No 1, no chain employs it's own fitters, they use outside firms which can be just one person and up to 40 teams, a person working on their own would still be called a team. No...

    Where can I get kitchen door dampers?

    Tex, as you say very easy to fit, the only place that requires drilling is if the unit has a center post eg. double wall unit. I worked at a place that supplied them and people loved them, I managed to get enough for my own kitchen and they really do work. My wife feels that unless the...

    Minerelle Worktops

    Any decent fitter SHOULD be able to fit these, you might have trouble finding one that has fitted them. They tend not to be very popular, mostly because they are not promoted, so very few people know of them. I have never fitted them but was at a job when the supplier did so, he treated...

    Installing a gas hob

    I have 4 CORGI fitters that I can use to do my gas work (depends on who has the time). They all use 15mm pipe with a stop cock, I believe that a hob has to be connected with rigid pipework, because of space limitations if the hob is going above an oven they always use end feed elbows etc, I...

    Stopcock

    In some older houses the stopcock can be under the floor in the hall just inside the front door. If it is, there will be a piece of floorboard meant to be taken up.

    What NOT to do with sealant

    Nature has given us the ultimate fiddle toy whilst we sit there, it's much better to stick with that rather than get stuck to it.
