My error. :oops: Perfectly right (ive had a long day). yes, cement based adhesive does fully cure via chemical reaction....so it ownt still be wet regardless of the porosity of the substrate or nature of tile.

Im just imagining the voice from his sat nav saying" turn left onto pedestrian path.....carry on to cliff edge.........you have reached your destination....holy cow....turn around!" :lol:

Thanks Clitheroe Well, seen as how the property is a 1934 semi, i would agree with your assumption on age! Ive been here 18yrs - nothing been done electrical wise apart from me putting in some upstairs downlighters several years ago. I do now know of some socket work which was carried out...

what i can tell you, is that the meter was changed in 2002 by the leccy board....would it have been their responsibility to update the tails or am i barking up the wrong tree? Just feel like i wanna :evil: pick up the phone and rip someones head off !

Well, without taking the CU to bits again tonight, couldnt tell you if its rubber but its obviously not new! As for the wiring, the rest of the house does have pvc t &e for sockets, lighting etc (i know this as have installed downlights in a few bedrooms) There certainly is a good...

whats VIR? :oops:

You clearly also forget the very important process of extraction of said blu tack and the kneading of it into easy to use sized balls by tibetan monks.

Hope these are more clear and what you need. If not let me know and ill take some more.

How could you forget! thats surely the most important step! shame on you!

Is that blu-tack available in its purest form? or can i get some that has had its chemical structure altered to enchance its true audio qualities - ya know the stuff, thats been cryogenically treated and has passed all bostik approved standards?

I am LITERALLY wetting myself ere! :lol: :lol: :lol: I particularly like the idea of a sonic plank of wood at only $240.....that coupled with the cable elevators would indeed make my system sound almost like i was in touching distance of the said artiste i was listening to!! Ive seen...

I noticed that too - regarding the garage MCB....dont ask me why its like that as its been like that since i moved in. What i do have in the garage is an old metal box with a metal lever on it to shut it off whilst inside the garage....perhaps its own little CU although rather old and i must say...

Hehe! Dos cervesas por favor ! - a couple of beers! thats about all i know :lol: As your in spain, your prob better of doing it yourself with all the siesta breaks ive heard they take! Mind you, the spanish are immaculate tilers - obvioulsy due to the fact there is so much tiling in...

I suppose, upon reflection watered down PVA is prob not the ideal thing to use...obviously i use it alot to seal plaster but then im tiling the wall! That easy fill (gyproc) stuff is great ive heard and a bag of it goes miles if your using it to cover minor blemishes. (available from b & q)

Hi Neil By the sounds of it, if they are that well bedded and that thick....i dont think you will have a problem tiling over them. Just ensure the surface is as clean as possible. you can buy cleaning agents from your local tile shop for the job. Get a good quality adhesive and away you...

Also, what type of tile are you gonna tile over with? if its porcelain for example, you will need a one part flexible adhesive as the normal rapid set adhesives wont fully set under the tile as porcelain wont allow the water content of the adhesive to escape because they are not pourous. If...
