    Bathroom peeling paint

    1 month ago I scraped off loose paint, filled, painted with paint for stonework. 1 month later it's peeling off, it's mostly on the inside of an outside wall, so obviously moist air condensing on a cold wall.. but still!. What to do? :eek: the picture is from yesterday

    what is it?

    This water line is feeding into a boiler to heat hot water for the tap, my guess is it's not any more high pressure than usual here in the netherlands, the plack pipe is pushed onto a nipple to feed into the down pipe.

    what is it?

    Hi, What is it? and is it necessary, it looks to me like stuff is sometimes flowing back up it, and it's after the u-bend so that lovely drain smell is prevalent :sick: Thanks James

    Transition block paving to grass

    Any reason to not use 1mtr long edging, you can get them 20cm deep over here in Holland, generally they don't move because of the surface area, and the ends are male female, but you could add some mix behind if you want to really annoy the next guy to work on the paving ;)

    Brexit in/out vote 2

    There already was a vote in 1975, the result was to stay in, therefore there should have never been another referendum (according to the outies) because a vote is a vote and we won so get over it etc.. etc..

    Double glazed

    So not so much a disaster then.. The previous owner was a big company so I can't imagine money was an issue. I certainly would be ****ed off to spend so much on double glazing for them to leave a 1m2 Gap* and obviously the frame is twice as thick as it should be which means less light, I asked...

    Double glazed

    It's not my DIY disaster and I have a feeling that it was done by a company rather than an individual.. which makes it worse, i'm no professional double glazer but i'm pretty sure this isn't right. ok before shot, they left the old wooden window frame in place and fixed the pvc frame onto it...
