Hi all, Daughters bedroom was decorated about 10 years ago as a new born, I had walls and ceiling re-plastered beforehand. Emptied the room, took down wall hangings and blinds and am finding lots of, what I hope are, relatively minor issues, but would like advice on the best way to resolving...

Thanks! Does this 'crush' at all when it's pushed into the gap? It's 12 mm at it widest, but as it tapers down into the silicone they used to attach the up stand, at some points the depth is maybe 2-3mm , at other places it is 10mm? I'm just wondering if this loosely sits in the gap, or if it...

Hi all, Not strictly tiling, but I think this question could go here best! Decorated our kitchen a couple of years ago, but when the guys who fitted the stone counter top fitted the up-stands, there was a large gap as the wall is quite out. I filled it 2+ years ago, I think with Soudal, and...

Hi all, Hope someone can advise please? Just clearing out under the sink and happened to notice something which I wasn't previously aware of. We have a pressure reducing valve on out filter tap hardware set to 3 bar, as I believe the tap is only rated to 4 bar. While clearing out under the...

Thanks both!

Hi, usually Nest thermostat is set to around 19c, but with gas prices it is currently set to 16.5c But what I have recent today is that the heating is coming on before it drops to 16.5 Anyone know why this may be happening?

Cheers big-all, will give that a go!

Hi all, After a bit of advice. I have a Hisense Fridge Freezer, and while cleaning the long sliding drawer at the bottom of the fridge section (kind of like a chilled drinks drawer), I noticed some ice at the back of the drawer. Upon pulling the drawer out, looking at the back there are what...

Thanks JobAndKnock, no need to apologise, I did a lot of research after your suggestion, and all things considered this came as my best option - I would have been led to this jigsaw either way I suspect. Don't get me wrong, its a very good saw, I got it for a good price, and it will likely suit...

Thanks both. The blades which came with it were pretty crap, so bought some better ones, and then aligned the blade so its perfectly square - its better, not perfect, but better. You are correct, it is a splinter device, but there is a V cutout which looks like is is designed as a guide also -...

As i stated in a previous thread, I was looking to replace my Makita 4334D jigsaw. After some advice on here and lots of searching, I went for the DJV180. I am about to return down to a few issues, unless someone can advise how to resolve. First off, the blade does not align with the guide...

Yeah, CNC is the only thing I could thing I could think of too! I'll think about the corded Bosch one you suggest, but may ultimately plump for the cordless Makita one you mention. Thanks!

I have a bandsaw, but feeding in from 1m away, and my lack of skills to accurately follow the line without the inevitable twisting of the blade, has put me off continuing to attempt this method - not sure in this case I could use a domed saddle bed. Collins coping foot - below is what I posted...

Maybe my use of the term 'straight' was not best. It is to cut a pattern out on several pieces of scaffold board, and within the cut there are straight parts, but what is most important is to accurately follow the line. Once cut, they are stacked next to each other at differing heights, and I...

Thanks JobAndKnock, just looked at a couple of videos of the DJV180 (within budget), but it looks like it wanders pretty easily. The jigsaw cuts I'm making are (in some ways), the final cut for this wood. Not only that, the two halves either side of my cut line will be used together (as a mold...

Hi all, I've had this jigsaw a long time (bought second hand from a carboot sale about 10 years ago), and its done me ok as a DIYer. I'm trying to cut some straights and curves through scaffold boarding, and its difficult to get a perfect straight 'down' cut. The plates a bit bent, and I'm...

Thanks, I'll check those out - is the 11mm Cloud 9 not advised due to being too thick for my application, or just not necessary due to price, as I may be able to get this at a good price?

Was looking at Cumulus 11mm, but just pulled up the existing carpet and looks like it is currently Cloud 9 Cirrus 9mm.
