See? I knew you'd get it sorted out...... 8)

I don't think you took the phone call into the equation breezer. You will find that the odds are slightly higher...... :wink:

Anyone had any experience fitting them? (Hard wood) We got the set with 2 french doors and 2 demi panels. My problem has ben fitting the demi panels. The instructions say they must be hinged on one side (outer frame) and then screwed into the inside jamb. EXCEPT when I hinged the first one...

Thanks both for the advice. ( I guess I overdid the string line then eh? :wink: )

Thanks for the tips Daz. I should have mentioned that I have to fit the frame into the opening too. Is that where the string line comes in? or is it a case of applying the tips that you gave to the frame as well?

Need a joiner? yea well, ring back in June..... So now I have to fit my exterior french doors plus 2 demi panels all on my lonesome. Can anyone give me an idiots guide to hanging them? I hear that a stringline is employed to ensure that the frame is square, is that so? and how do I do it...

Keep on laying those bricks rob, you're a way off yet. Check this link out.

When I built my porch (ambitious, I know :wink: ) I used the bricks with three holes down the middle, god it was so annoying to lay a line of mortar only to watch half of it disappear through the holes! Hang up? me? Don't think so.........

Good points both. Thanks gents.

Mandate. You're right, it's not so clear: The piping coming down the wall is the speed fit type, which then links to copper at floor level. The speedfit is fitted in trunking on the wall. It's this trunking that I'm looking to conceal in the wall.

When we had central heating fitted, the plumber used some sort of 'plastic' hosing from upstairs down to the ground floor radiators, the pipes feeding the radiator run down the wall in plastic conduit (solid ground floor) Can I bury them, plaster deep, into the wall? Cheers

don't think she hasn't tried vijay!

Always the last sunday in March agoshi. (I've just realised how knowing that makes me a really sad person!)

What about something like this Dave?

Not a DIY disaster as such this one but, carrying on in the vein of cheeky relatives. My sister (who is not averse to a light 'flirt' when she wants a job doing, now that's scary enough in itself!) let it be known to my wife that she had ordered a new kitchen from xyz shop and they were going...

Unless of course you mean the cladding is fitted along the wall above the height of the bath? If you do.....I wouldn't.

lonz, I have T&G cladding along the side of my bath, but it is never exposed to more than a few rogue drips of water. Where the cladding meets the skirt, I used clear aquatic seal along the edge to stop water getting in behind it, the same along the bottom of the skirt. But on balance I'd say...

I would just like to say thanks. To everyone who posts questions, and especially to all who have the 'knowledge' and experience to answer them. I joined this forum over a year ago and was lucky to see one posting a week, now it's turned into a vast and fascinating, resource of knowledge...

I tried the push fittings when I did the bathroom. Very good......BUT and I can only speak from my own personal experience, if they do not work/take/fit, call it what you will.(and 2 of them did just that) You have to cut them off, nightmare! and I personally wouldn't use them again.

I'm knocking the wall between the kitchen and dining room out to make for the one larger room. However, that's not really the issue. I've had the idea of part exposing the joists in the ceiling by removing the old boards (which has to happen anyway, thanks to the dreaded artex and general...
