A local building supplier gave me some free corrugated asbestos sheets in the mid 2000's, they couldn't sell them and were stuck with them. I had a couple of cracked sheets on my 1970's garage. Took them off with the PPE and water etc. The replacement ones, I painted to seal them, and managed...

When I try to send a payment through my online bank webpage they make me log into the app on the phone to authorise the payment. Probably to increase security. So it's quicker to pay directly through the app, this means I use the web page less often, where I used to remember the log in...

Surely, by tilebacker board, they mean the foam sandwich type. Marmox, Wedi, Jackoboard. Not Hardie board. That would be my answer, it's available in 10,12, 20mm. Glue it straight on and then skim over it.

Can't be long now then, I'm off to stock up on bog roll!

Often attributed to Sir Douglas Bader, who lost both his legs... because he broke the rules.

Looks like they will get a couple of years grace, just enough time to get some local slapper knocked up, then they'll be allowed to stay because they'll have a British kid.

Paywall

If it's not a big one then he's probably right. Or get an MDF radiator cover/shelf.

10 minute job. To the OP, *make sure power is off before attempting this* You can cheat by using a wago box to join new to old. You cut the old wire to the head then strip it and connect it to the wire from the new head using wagos (in a box) Saves having to deal with a tangle of wires...

Yes, doable, but it helps if you have the patience for messing about with numbers and angles.

Complicated problem. Lots of variables. 15mm acoustic plasterboard will provide the most mass, but fixing directly could cause transmission of low frequencies. If it's your teenage son up there playing his Showaddywaddy LP's too loud, then it probably won't make much difference.

Well it is a **** show, and requires a radical solution. I'd use a 6mm and 12mm cement board, and get creative with the tile adhesive, it would be slow and painful, more of an arts and craft project rather than quickly lashing some tiles up in a hurry. It's what I've done with uneven and...

Let me go back and reread the original post, it can't be that fekkin hard.

My mum used to say it, I later found out she plagiarised it from Shakespeare, she's lucky he didn't sue!

How hard can it be? You only have to chop a few tomatoes...

Was he talking about cooking a chicken?

Ghost in the window, top right.

"Neither a borrower nor lender be" I wish my credit card provider had heeded that advice!

With a backer board

You could use a Stanley knife. (Not one where the blade is likely to close on you) Use a brand new blade. Score out the shape you want, then keep going over it until you get through. Or use a drill with a cheap hole saw attachment. Go slow, don't push hard. Can be bought for under a tenner...
