Not sure it be a soakaway. I also dug up my back garden couple years back (theres a thread on here somewhere detailing it), and did not come across any pipes/soakaways. Though I may have not went deep enough. But considering this is in a large housing area, that was built at the same time, i...

The street was built at same time. Looking out my front door, the house to my left is attached, house to my right is not attached to mine. Live on a hill. House on right is downhill. THere is manhole in their drive, about 4-6' below our driveway. I need to check with neighbour to our left, but I...

Yea. its an easy fix. Just kinda annoying. I will be asking him to fix it. He did have a younger guy helping him, that maybe didint know. But yea, it is pretty lazy to not make it right. In defense, everything else has been done really well, and the bathroom is great. I saw all the plumbing work...

Hi, So have just had bathroom installed, and with a basin moved, the waste of it and the new shower now come out another wall. However I think they are going to the wrong drain. House is built in 1975. Existing soil stack goes into ground; Old bath and basin waste went into this. These...

Just got bathroom refurbed. Putting up a toilet roll holder and a towel ring onto a stud wall. New tiles put on. 10mm thick tiles, 6mm Tile backboard and the depth of the adhesive (not sure how thick that would be, 4-6mm?). Anyway what fixings should i be using on that. Standard 6mm rawplugs no...

Hmm, thats what I feared. A bath swapout wont be easy. The gap is 1655 tile to tile, and the bath looks like its probably 1675 withh tiles sitting on the top lip. Means tiles gonna hvae to come out... starting a whole can of worms.. May have forced my hand for a full bathroom refurb. ugh

I have access underneath it. its on the side where the side panel is.

So today I heard a crack as I stood in my bathtub. Looked down and it has cracked sorta on the curved part at the bottom to sides, near the end of the bath, away from taps. Done some googling, and seems you can repair this? I beleive it is a fibreglass or an Acryclic tub. Its one of them green...

Bringing this one back up. In the end I did nothing with the Garage, as when I started adding all the costs up it was just going to be too expensive for me at the time. So I put it all on hold. I am now looking at it more seriously though with a few adjustments. Originally I had done this for a...

Yeah nothing in the manual about it that i found online. Seems a basic one, I will take a look again later after dinner ! Have to unscrew the motor part to see in there. VHB60SS is model number. Some basic extractor.

Silly question perhaps.. We have a basic cooker hood that goes under a unit. https://kingfisher.scene7.com/is/image/Kingfisher/8422248032186_01i Since we moved in, it has been re-circulating. Anyway it was not very good, so looked into it and strangely there is a vent in wall so at some...

My parents got their water tank all urgently replaced there by a plumber at the weekend, after it leaked everywhere. Plumber didn't wire in the immersion heater part, understandably. I have experience and can wire an appliance to a fused spur no problem. Wiring it isn't the question, I am just...

Ideally you want the projector perpendicular at 90' and centre horizontally as close as possible before adjusting anything digitally. Make sure you check what the ratio of the lens is so that it will be suitable for your screen size. IE if you have a 8' wide screen and a projector with say a...

Yeah so, no way i can get it behind. Is there anything i can buy that would just cover it and look half decent with a mesh on it ? I mean im sure mouse can get through there, but would they? I think I actually need to block the gaps around the pipes that come up the wall from under the floor in...

Confident it's via heating and water pipes that go upstairs. They go up wall in kitchen which has a surround on it. It goes behind a cupboard. Checked underneath and there are droppings. I can see the pipes and can see access under the floor. Problem will be trying to block that as it's not...

Not sure I follow what you mean with plaster board fixings? I would use mesh but not sure how to fix from outside

So sourcing where mouse is getting in. It is using the pipes under the floors to get around and managed to get into one of the kids bedrooms upstairs where the pipe comes up to the radiator. Stuffed some steel wool in there for now. Anyway, we had mouse couple year ago and thought they were...

Cheers. Will get in morning.

I using an Ikea Worktop as an office desk surface and I need to cut it down to size and then put one of their edging strips on to the cut part. It says in instructions to use Contact Adhesive. Can anyone recommend what adhesive is best to use and a good method for applying?

Impressive! Looking forward to more progress. Did you have many tools already, or have you had to spend quite a bit on any special tools etc? I have found that, taking on D.I.Y projects the hidden cost is getting any tools required. Saying that, once you have them, you have them, but still it...
