By far the easiest way of repapering is the way I have told you, plasterers are also much quicker than all that messing about with backing paper, which I refuse to use point blank. Think about it, if you have it plastered the next job you need to do is Size the wall and hang the paper. Also...

Masking Tape across the areas where you are going to drill, align toilet roll holder, check level with a spirit level, mark corresponding holes on tape, hit a nail gently into the marks this will create a pinhead hole, using the pin head holes as your guide, use a decent masonery bit to drill...

Sounds as though the walls have not been plastered :?: I have hung lots of wallpaper and never directly onto plasterboard as its just not the done thing. :roll: Even the thickest wallcoverings show through, so the worse your wall smoothness, the worse your end paper will be. I would...

You really need to start again and treat that growth on your ceiling...! Although now you have the added bonus of scraping that emulsion off the ceiling too. Do it like the last poster suggested and make sure you let it dry thoroughly before repainting. Best way to ventilate the room is to...

Quite simply the finish you have posted is factory finish. They obviously spend fortunes on machinery and are churning out ship loads of goods. You may if you are persistent find a small factory that is able to finish your staircase, although in my experience you will probably have to deliver...

Quite frankly - No. Any abrasive material will dull down the gloss, but why are you worried about that, once you have very finely sanded this small area, it will only take a couple or few brush strokes to renew the look, without dust particles....! :wink: :D 8) :D 8) :D

I agree, just PVA and tile straight over the top.......! Although I have heard that 'Tilers' up and down the Uk are insisting on using some type of board around all wet areas. Apparently the Backerboard is water tight and allows the tiles to live where they are put for eternity and beyond...

You cannot restore old chrome as such. The best you can hope for is that you can rid it of rust and clean it with chrome cleaner to it shiniest. You can very gently rub the chrome spots out with a metal abrasive block but try not to touch the remaining chrome as it will dull down. Please...

A much better job will be achieved if you regrout the existing tiles, admittedly it is quite time consuming, but I feel worth the effort. When removing grout, only remove 1mm below tile level, don't try to get it all out as you will be there for a month of Sundays..! Just buy yourself a...

Get a GRIP...............! :D 8) :D 8) :D

How can you expect to install a pump if you dont yet undestand where your water comes from.... :?: I suspect that your immediate problem is caused by your new tap/shower which sounds as though it is only suited to mains pressure systems. Unfortunately whilst looking at these pretty new...

Tell ME the Result, this must be a one man forum.....! :D 8) :D 8) :D

What a lovely picture, I hope it really helps the poster when fitting the new tank... :lol: If an extra tank is whats required... :?: Sorry but this comedy slot has befuddled my judgement... :P :D 8) :D 8) :D

Apologies, but you say you are having a combi installed, then you go on to explain the problems so far as you see them. Have the installers finished.......? If not why not wait until they are, before worrying that the new combi is faulty is some way....? Just a suggestion...! :lol: :D...

Think about something more interesting to argue over, ExpertBoy was merely elaborating on weight and in fact was absolutely correct. Although admittedly, the information he supplied was as relevant as the subsequent girly cat scratching....! :roll: :D 8) :D 8) :D

Theoretically a boiler should be ok in most rooms. This posting appears to be more of a conscience question, that you are battling with. I personally would think that there are more 'againsts' than 'for's' in having the boiler in a babies bedroom. :D 8) :D 8) :D

Here Here........... :lol: I like it here....... :lol: :D 8) :D 8) :D

David as I thought your tasks ahead are far more reaching than simple btu calculations and well beyond the realm of this forum. I wish you every success with your renovation. :lol: :D 8) :D 8) :D

I have always preferred building a strong timber frame for the bath to sit on regardless of the legs. You can utilise ChrisR's folding wedges under the bath so that the base of the bath is supported. :D 8) :D 8) :D

There is something you can do as your Corgi was 'moonlighting', his employers would be none too happy either. You could choose to be nasty and divulge such information H M C & E who would like to know about such people in the community and legally you could persue him also. That said, if you...
