i genuinely believe that some people are less susceptible to the effects of an electric shock. likewise, some people are more susceptible.

Damn you, i got all exited.

when i first moved into this house i had a few horrors. been belted many a time prior to it, but not by mains - Mainly from high voltage stuff, but pretty low current....such as neon transformers etc. they tingle, but don't hurt. First one was my old dishwasher. ever time i touched it i...

my bad MOD - i didnt see the free advertising thing, but simply wanted an opinon on someone's work, as a "non tiler" anyhow, yeah, ceramics on walls, polished porcelin on floor. floor substrate will be what ever someone on here tells me to use when i re-lay it.

i did some boarding today - using 2400x900x9.5 mm boards - getting them up the stairs was easy...but getting them round the 180 degree banister.....That was a challange !

the screws i orig bought for doing my roof were 5.5x38mm, fine single thread, phospated. I changed these for 5.5x32mm, as the 38mm were to long for the roof job. How well do coarse threaded drywall screws grab into plasterboard ????? Well enough to use them to hold new onto old, along...

I tried making brown noise with my system.....It'll do -3dB @22hz......all i ended up with was sore ears, a very scared dog, and a broken mirror ( fell of the wall, in another room.

spoke to a tiler today, and showed him the photo. He suggested that i re-cover the areas that will be tiled, or skimmed and painted. Either using Dot+Dab - OR expanding foam adhesive. I'll likely use the later for ease - along with some mechanical fixings where possible - even if its just...
