    Concrete post tilted. Gap in fence

    ah i see what you mean it looks as though you would be right there. But do you think if I try the method mentioned above to get the post straight and then added on a baton to either end of the fence. That might (for the short-term) solve it? but again the guy did mention it took him weeks to get...

    Concrete post tilted. Gap in fence

    As you can see, over time the concrete slab at the bottom has sort of dropped on the left hand side and you can see a gap at the bottom. I have tried to get the fence to be fully horizontally level in order to show what it should look like when it is straight. And then the concrete post on the...

    Where should I start so I end up with the least amount of cuts?

    So i've spent a while trying to figure out the best location of where to start my tiles so that i don't end up with tons of cuts here n there because I know that if I just start from 1 side with a full tile and then just work my way across I will only need to cut 1 side of tiles, but because I...

    Awkward size to build a side gate?

    Ahhhhhhh, thank you for this suggestion. Never thought about this to be honest, especially regarding the metal top bracket to act as a brace and like you said if any equipment needs to come in. But tbh the whole of the back has been redone already so I'm 'hoping' there's never a need for a...

    Awkward size to build a side gate?

    Thank you for that info, it's helped me think about just having 1 opening gate and I guess I could alter the size of the moving one to whatever dimensions I wish so it's not exactly 50/50, just so I have a wider moving gate.

    Long story but we have had to change our sink (in a previous post) because our quartz worktop guy suggested that the one we had was too big so we have now opted to looking at an Inset stainless steel sink but we are trying to just work out our sizing because it seems we can't seem to fit a...

    cutting space in base unit to slot in sink

    ahhhhhh thank you, yeah I was thinking it was abit of a faff to have to route it nevermind all the dust thats going to come out and having to faff around IF I had'nt gone deep enough and have to have another go around, cutting it straight off would eliminate that. yes that is the only...

    How to cut through this worktop?

    Hi guys just an update, used a combined method of pretty much all your comments and have finally managed to get it off, used an old knife to protect the pipe whilst I was multi-tooling towards it. The two on the right had like 50% of a portion cut out already so those two were not too bad. it...

    How to cut through this worktop?

    Basically replacing the entire kitchen units and worktop. Have already ripped out the worktop but had to cut around this previously just to get it out. So now we are left in the dilemma as to how we are going to get this remaining piece out? Obviously we want to do it without damage to any of...

    Sparky forgot the wiring for the cooker hood. Alternative methods?

    we agreed on the price of the work that needed doing, which obviously included the much needed wiring for the extractor fan. he said it was an oversight on his end. ok cool, i asked to ensure that it is done and even though it would take longer now for that part of the kitchen its all good, all...

    Sparky forgot the wiring for the cooker hood. Alternative methods?

    Not me lol will either be the sparky that i find or will just post up the job locally on trade/fb website. I have an sds which will be able to do the job but just dont have the core drilling bit, but even if i did i dont think i'd attempt it anyways as it seems very laborous to get through at...

    Sparky forgot the wiring for the cooker hood. Alternative methods?

    ahhhhhhhh ok gotcha, i did think that the top route might have been the easiest but once it reaches past the cupboards there is going to be quite a distance till it reaches the hood which i think might be around 20cm as the hood itself is 90cm but the vent part is obviously alot slimmer than the...

    Sparky forgot the wiring for the cooker hood. Alternative methods?

    ahh good point, i guess i can try find the route easier if i tap the plasterboard and should be able to tell where the hollow spots are and do as suggested. and no doesnt matter if the PB has holes in it as it will be tiled over. seems to also be mixed feedback regarding the issue of tiling...

    Sparky forgot the wiring for the cooker hood. Alternative methods?

    right i think i get you now, so basically take top cupboards off. take faceplate off the socket on the wall, and then go up from the inside of there upwards because obviously it must have a clear section where that cables coming from, fish the cable from wherever we decide to pop out above the...
