I think you might be right, having revisited the bumpf, the picture does show the bit channelling i piece of hardwood, so i might just stick to the spades andaugers after all! cheers for your thoughts.

so do you use them free hand on a drill for morticing? or on say a piller drill to replace moticing bits?

magic! very helpful... how does one go about calculating the demand? I'm starting to think this may become rather a lot of work: the consumer unit in the hallway is the original from the 80's, and only has 4 slots, 2lights, 2 sockets - 1 each for up and down stairs. When this gets...

Admitidly the original question is a classic example of not thinking it through ( a pre-cursor for common sence). :oops: Having read the replies, the suicide lead would not be a good option! However a more productive solution might go something like " me asking bone question" " you...

similar to what i was expecting, although not quite as tame! :shock: How deep would a cable need to be burried along the garden? would it have to be armoured, or could it run through some form of conduit? Could the connection at the house, likely run from the existing socket circuit, or...

Although i can remember a little electrics from college i think i'll put this one to the pro's.... I've put a summerhouse at the bottom of the garden, i wanted to have it connected up to the main house permenantly by means of laying underground cable etc, but a thought occured (maybe i...

I've been looking round at replacing my spade bits and some other bits and bobs in the tool box and found these MAD bits.... Has anyone used/purchased these and have any comments about them? The sales bumpf says they can replace spade bits and augers alike. and they have the ability to be...

Well that's what i thought :? just wondered why they would specify for brick - or even mention it at all?! but cheers, my next question would have been how much to allow - well pre-empted :)

I'm looking at some wooden windows frames to fit into a timber frame structure.... The sizes say "Dimensions shown are brickwork opening sizes", what, if any adjustment should be made for a timber frame structure?

are grinder discs date stamped?

Stainless won't rust , but then again zinc won't either, depands on what the zinc is plated to..... Personally, I'd go with the stainless.

does it look like the flashing needs attention too? or is it just the pictue? If it were mine i'd be inclinded to hack off the bottom 6 inches, put up a drip bead and redo it, then pain the whole lot

cheers, that helps loads. i did mean breez block, normal cavity wall type brick build 80's house. when you say smaller nails, was that for the paslode? which ones from screwfix? also, stright or angled - you got the straight, any reason you'd choose straight over angled?

i'm currently in the process of re working the entire property, which will include all the skirting, archetraves, dados, panel doors and frames, the kitchen and the bedrooms. I'm toying with getting either a paslode IM65(A) or DC618. I'm thinking dewalt due to lower cost and no gas, but...

I think you'll find that at the end of the day it doesn't make a hugh amount of difference, although most people would say put the ceiling up first, then the walls. You won't see anyway once it's been skimmed. Personally i do the ceiling first, but whatever takes your fancy really.

have you tried the ryobi kit? i've the combi drill and the impact driver, which both get a right poundin' not rated by all, by work for me. screwfix have an offer on these at the mo, get two kits, keep the bbatts, then flog thedrills and spare charger on the bay...

Why not get a 12v dewalt? theres loads of people selling split down kits on fleabay with a battery or two, then you don't need another charger...

:lol: fair point!

Board adhesive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why no me think of that?!?!?! :roll: total eureka moment!! would likely be easier to work with as well. Thats guys.. Richard C - sorry didn't see you answer to this in the other tread. So cheers, and cheers... :oops: when you say B&Q type, was that...

Are there any particular types of grab adhesive - brands, reccomendations, solvent free etc to stick skim beads direct to plasterboard? what do most people use?
