Measure twice-cut once. If you can't get the board to fit smack bang upto the edges of the wall and it leaves a massive gap, just fill it with a bit of bonding before you skim it. If you put the board up in two halves, make sure you tape the cut in the in the middle of the board where it...

Sounds like you need a pressure reducing valve: Get your plumber to test the flow rate of the mains water.

Sorry, Can't think of any tricks, try using a small set of stilsons on them, Stilsons have a very good grip. Yup that is a bit daft :wink: Do you know what make and model of tap it is? Even if you totally mash it to bits getting the body out, it would be cheaper to replace this part...

Its the only way to get it undone. Are you using an adjustable spanner or a pair of grips? grips will probably be better than the spanner if its that tight :idea:

Fibre washers should be just fine.

Give it some welly!

Follow JohnD's advice from an earlier thread today here

Or what Kev said, try that first :lol:

Sounds like you need to get under the nice new laminate flooring then. The pipes most probably need a couple of clips somewhere or other. Mains water pipes need to be clipped well as the high pressure can make them clang about alot.

Getting the water supplies under the floor into the garage shouldn't be the problem, its the waste that you need to worry about. Waste water relies on gravity to flow away with fall that would be on the waste pipe, an 8ft run would need roughly a 2" fall. You could run the waste outside into...

If you install the pump above the cold water tank you will have real problems with airlocks. Without the head of water above the pump you will be allowing air to be drawn through. Install the pump below the cold water tank (idealy next to the cylinder) then take the outlet supplies up into...

Water hammer, the ball valve in your cold water storage tank might need replacing.

You could re-route it to the outside if its internal, but the more bends you put in theres more chance of blockages. Two 45 degree bends to take it to the outside then renew upwards. You could need planning permission for this, check first. With that style of toilet you've got no hope of...

Wrap the olive with PTFE tape before tightening the nut home.

Yes you can

Depends

One of these should do the trick.

That sounds about right to me from what you have described. I'd avoid running the waste pipe through the joists, use your first option and run the waste pipe outside. I'm not sure if i have understood you correctly in thinking that the bath waste is furthest away from the stack, and as it...

Forgot to mention that you should have rodding access, I'd had a hard day and was tired :oops: This or this should be something that you would need to install.
