Hi guys, I have been using 15mm Plasterboard for 2 X walls. I had enough but wastage have left me short. Only need less than quarter sheet. Can't get anymore 15mm. Since I shall be getting a plasterer to skim etc, I wonder how they will consider me using 12.5mm in those small areas. It will...

Hello guys, I bought 8 X 15mm Plasterboard for a room. Due to the cold weather, I have just started to fit them. I found that one sheet was delivered with a damaged area as seen in the photo. What is the best way to repair, please?. Thank you.

Ok. When I inserted a ruler, it went in as far as approximately 290mm.

I bought a Macdee Elan Exposed Cistern with flush pipe. I believe the flush pipe should be pushed to the top of the Syphon. Am I correct?. It seems somewhat tight. Thank you.

Great, thank you. That is what I thought, but I usually like to get a second opinion, when not sure.

Hello guys, My WC had a small crack, usable, but I decided to replace it. I bought a new one but put it aside in order to do other work. I now realise that, whilst I believe it will be OK, it is actually designed to be fitted/secured to the wall. A back-to-wall WC, so, I need to work out how...

Many thanks for all suggestions, all useful alternatives. I have one of those as suggested by Denso 13, and I also have the fibre washers. Great. Thank you.

Hello guys, I am fitting a new Cistern with Bottom Entry valve and a 15mm Nut to connect the copper pipe. If it was copper to copper, I would use an Olive at the Bottom Entry joint for the copper pipe. But the Bottom Entry valve is plastic, so I cannot use an Olive with the 15mm Nut. What...

Hello guys, I am connecting a WC to Soil Outlet using a 60mm Offset Pan Connector , and a Flexible Connector (I do not want to use the Straight Connector). But I bought the wrong size Flexible Connector (3 ½ /90mm). The Soil pipe is 110mm. Also, the Pan Outlet is 235mm above floor level. The...

Thank you JobAndKnock. I am not sure what sort of surface that laminate has. However, (elsewhere) I had a Formica laminate Worktop installed some years ago and it is still in use. Now, I will either look for that type of Worktop or consider steel. The existing Worktop is 3835 X 38 mm with...

Hi guys, I had a worktop fitted about 6 years ago and I am now renovating the property. It seems the base material is actually woodchip as in so many types of furniture. Need new worktop. I have done some searching and read reviews but find it difficult to make a choice as the best ones seem...

Thank you for your response. Apologies. All the woodwork has been painted before. Finished in Brilliant White solvent based gloss paint, clean brushes in white spirit. On this occasion, woodwork sanded down, dusted, vacuumed, wiped clean with Sugar Soap. It was intended to use Undercoat...

Hello guys. Normally, I prime bare wood, undercoat, then gloss. I am now repainting previously painted surfaces. I just did not check this paint is primer. May be a silly question, but will gloss work well over the primer?. Thank you.

Hello, I am redecorating and usually had good paints. Now I have been reading reviews of different brands and some are very much not recommended. Do anyone know of any good Magnolia Vinyl Silk?. Seems to me some are manufactured according to retailer's requirements, like baked beans, for example.

Thanks to you all. Having read your responses I realise where I went wrong. I was logging off after viewing what was recorded and misread what appeared on the TV. Thank you.

Hello, My CCTV system did not come with good instructions for use. I use my Smart TV as monitor for the NVR. How can I leave the system to record without leaving the TV on?. Doing my best to learn how to use it effectively. Thank you for any advice.

Thank you, sparkymarka. Prior to my FIRST post, I had the TV and NVR linked by the HDMI cable. When I pressed the 'Source' button, 'No Signal' appeared. EXACTLY as I said in my FIRST post. It DID NOT give a Menu. It DID NOT show an onscreen label showing HDMI 1, or any HDMI. The only thing I...

Thanks. On my Remote Control that button is marked 'Source'. That is the one I pressed, when I got the 'No Signal'. So, is the problem due to the Indoor Aerial?.

Thank you. The TV is A Medion Smart 48 inch, 4K Ultra HD, with HDR X14357. NVR is : XN4P-1T. 8MP 4 Channel HD-IP NVR 1TB. I have a VGA cable to connect, but I would not know how to actually do a test. I, at first, connected TV/NVR with HDMI cable, but I would not know how to 'switch' TV to...

Thank you
