Yeah ok thanks. Can you recommend a good place to buy one or is it just internet special search? Looking for something that would suit the sink and wood.

Hi Family have gone through a few "traditional" mono block taps over the years so looking for a recommendation really. This is the latest. It was wobbling like mad for a while.... A family member has tried to use glue or something to fix this previously (god knows where the original screw...

Thanks Woody. Yeah they are engineering bricks. Can I build with them with a normal sand cement mix do you think like a 6:1 mix?

Hi I am planning an extension that will involve removing some old outside walls. I would like to reuse the bricks to make a path and patio and also to build a dwarf wall. Will the bricks be OK for the path and patio? This is the look I was wanting Also I was wanting to build a dwarf wall...

I have had "a go" at some lime pointing. The previous custodian of the house had at some point had sections of the house, outbuilding and outside walls re-pointed with a sand cement mix. I suspect this is why some of my bricks have blown/ or the cement pointing is loose. Also had some shrubs...

I have swapped the offset around and now it does not leak anymore:D
