As thread title really, Today I caught the end of a finger in a table saw resulting in a fracture to the end of the finger and the tip being a bit of a mess. 5 months ago I caught another finger in a chop saw but that was just a deep cut so not too bad. Aside from that I've not had a power...

Yes they are nicely cut into the web, someone just appears to have done a poor job of the top

Hi all, I'm fitting a new floor to an upstairs room as the original floor is excessively noisy, I thought it was originally due to a plumber trapping pipes across an rsj and nailing the floorboards around it causing them to crown and not fit together correctly. Now I've the floorboards up...

If you know what model your going for email the manufacturer and explain why you need them and I'd imagine they'll send you them reasonably quickly

I'll refer to my earlier comment about people making up rules, I don't see any judge enforcing a fine for failing to carry poop bags when the dog hasn't fouled in the area as no offence has been committed.

I'm reasonably sure it isn't an offence to walk a dog without poo bags but as seems the norm with anyone who thinks they've a bit of power nowadays they'll make up whatever rules they like and leave you to spend your own time trying to sort it all out, Unfortunately in that situation most...

I'm guessing these are all issued by the private companies that councils are outsourcing enforcement to? There's been a few ridiculous ones thrown out at court recently. The companies being used are just another extension of the bullies who run private car parks and try and extort people for...

Wow I'll be glad I've not got that issue then

Hi all, Due to some plumbing bodgery I find myself probably needing to drill some holes in a 178x102x19 UB. The steel is a 4m span, I need to drill 2 x 20mm holes, they'd be on the centre line approximately 300mm and 330mm in from the end of the steel. The steel only supports the upstairs...

Hi all, So who needs DIY bodges when a pro is willing to do the following and take money for it. So for a bit of background, ever since we moved into this house the floor in the front bedroom has been horribly creaky, after taking up the old carpet there was an obvious crown in the floor...

I've got the one your looking at, had it about 18 months and use it probably 6 or 7 times a week without any issues

The disruption isn't such an issue, the whole floor is getting taken up in the room in question to fix some previous bodges the house has suffered so I'll have access to everything that needs altering. The room is a spare so the general loss of 120mm shouldn't make much of a difference

How's the contractor dry lining the wall? If he's dot and dabbing or foaming the plasterboard to the existing wall then I'd chisel out the existing cable runs now and temporarily fit both sockets into a surface mounted back box, on the day of the works you can then safely terminate the cables...

Buy a length of 40mm or 50mm solvent weld pipe and some end caps. (can't remember the diameter of a cartridge offhand) Cut the pipe into say 6 inch lengths, solvent weld an end cap onto each end. Then solvent weld each capped length vertically to each other as crudely shown below, 0000 0000...

Can you not use square ducting on top of units to get to an external wall within the kitchen?

It's not a cavity wall, it's a single skin block wall

100mm was just a nominal figure. How about 50mm celotex direct to the block wall then a 3x2 cls stud wall built in front of the celotex with the small side out in filled with 25mm celotex (this would leave a 13mm gap in the frame work), I can then build extra studs into the wall for hanging the...

Hi all. I live in a chalet bungalow, downstairs is a standard brick/block with cavity arrangement. Upstairs both bedrooms are single block work with no cavity. The bedrooms face north and south and the north facing room is a good 3 to 4 degrees colder than the south facing room, this...

If the terminals are secured from being able to touch each other inside the debox and there's no exposed wire outside the box then carry on

We're back on now
