Good evening all, I'm currently stripping back our new (to us!) 1930s property in preparation for some building works, rewire etc. There is a small brick cavity built porch (approx 1x1.5m) attached to the property which has a pitched, tiled roof. It's unclear if this is part of the original...

Ha! Not sure what you old fogeys are talking about! Those old Dymo labellers are far older than me! :P Hopefully I can redeem myself by stating that it is actually a very modern digital one. And just to keep Scoby happy, I think I do have a brother one in the garage somewhere. I am so 'wiv it'.

Gotcha. Very useful responses, thanks very much guys! I'll make sure I get the old Dymo labeller out and identify which one isolates the hob properly. Ta again.

SP, thanks for the response. Now that you've mentioned the word diversity it's all starting to come creaking back to me! Now where I am really rusty is the maths. The maximum power of the oven is 2.8kW so would that be 12A at 240V? The maximum of the hob is 7.2kW (I'm guessing this would...

Guys, Am just doing some decorating and changing some units in my kitchen and have come across something that I can't quite get my head around. I'll do my best to explain this logically. I'll start by giving some background of how things are set out. The house is approximately 5 years...

Not a problem bud, very useful! I'll stick at it. Cheers!

Thanks for the reply Pigeon. Could you elaborate on the tape vs mesh? Will it make much difference if the wall is going to be papered? I have done a load more since the original post and think I've got a better technique now. Was putting too much mud on and the tape too wet. Meant I had to...

Guys, I'm taping and jointing a new plasterboard wall to prepare it for wallpapering. It's going so so, but I'm having a problem when setting the tape in to the mud. Im covering the join in mud, putting the tape (which has been dampened and shaken off) into the mud and then running the...

Brilliant, thanks for the input. I thought it might turn out to be a little bit more complicated than I first thought! The concrete looks like it might well be the ticket though, I really like the effect and should easily be doable over a couple of weekends. I imagine it would be fairly cheap...

Morning guys, Wondering if anyone could advise what material these worktops are probably made of and if so, how they are finished? I need to make a worktop for my bathroom and this kind of effect/finish would be perfect. It doesn't need to be very intricate, but normal worktop wouldn't...
