My bathroom has Plasterboard Dot n Dabbed (hope thats right), and on this are white Tiles. I want to fix a circular Shower Curtain Rail to this wall, and am unsure how to a) Drill the Tiles b) Fix the rail to the wall (there is obviously quite a leverage on the fixing point).

Cool, cheers for that. I would have thought new houses would have been just on mains, but clearly not.

Why do people have them then ??

Can you tell me, do you need to have a cold water tank ?? Cant the whole house be just mains fed ??

Mine is a Truss Roof (I believe), and am wanting to board it out - well some of it anyway. No great weight up there, just a few bits and bobs. Can I just board straight to the joists ??

Is it a problem to Board out the Loft if it is a Truss Frame ??

Please can someone give a step by step guide on putting in a new internal doorway ?? Basically cutting it out (already a window) of breezeblock, and am unsure where to go from there. Does it have to be a certain size etc ??

Cool, cheers for that. Just gotta move the blasted tank now !!

Regarding A) Yes - Would I need to screw in a plug (as it were) ?? And B) Yes, Yes, No - How else do I get rid of the air ??

I have moved into a house that has Oil Fired Central Heating. It has a 2500litre tank in the garden, which goes via a TigerLoop to the Boiler. I want to move the tank round 90degrees, and so need to disconnect the pipe to move it, extend pipe, then re-connect. A) Will the oil start coming...

Whilst you all argue over who said what, I have done it now anyway. Managed to acquire some BT cable (black), and it all works hunky dory. Bit of a pain to strip the outer sheath though - bloomin tough plastic.

I am after Black Cable too, fingers crossed I can hold of some. Living oppopsite an Exchange should help !! :lol:

So I need to get another master socket ?? And can the new phone line cables just go in on top of the exsisting ?

It is only for a PC to plug into (broadband). It wont need a ringer will it ??

I am wanting to add a phone point at the rear of my house (via the external of the house). I currently have blue, blue/white, orange,orange/white cables clipped inside the BT socket INSIDE my house. (2, 3, 4, 5) Outside, in the BT Nox, I have the BT line coming up, and that is connected to...

Just didn't understand jargon. The top of the rectangle now is the plasterboard of the ceiling.

eh ?? :? :? Also, what will happen to the top of the wall. It has nowt above it. It is below a flat roof, but not in line with the joists. How do you leave the top of the wall ??? Do you literally just stop, and thats it !!

Does it matter how it looks as it will be plastered ??? I was kinda thinking that me, a chisel, and "toothing out" the brickwork, could well create a disaster !!!!

Whilst you guys are talking Part P etc - I have just started my second year (evening course) of the City and Guilds 2330. Because of all these new rules, regs and course, our tutor is most confused as to what we should do after this years course. He is telling us not to worry about Part...

I have taken out a doorway within my house, and wish to brick it up. On one side it has concrete blocks, and the other side has normal bricks. What type of brick should I use, and can I just use the metal ties that clip onto a rail to tie the new brickwork to the old ???
