Yes it is, a side wall in the shower, so not directly being showered on (and not a power shower), but will still be getting wet daily.

Hi all, Hoping you can help. I’ve been tiling my shower and was ready to grout before putting a massive scratch on one of the tiles. I went to remove the tile but it’s taken the tanking and some of the cement board with it. As it’s in a shower, I want to do what I can to make sure it’s not going...

Hi, I have just poured some Mapei Ultraplan 3240 self leveller down to level the floor prior to fitting a shower tray. It says that it is walkable after 4-5 hours, does that mean I can install the shower tray after 4-5 hours or do I have to wait for the leveller fully cure first? Thank you!

Hi @opps, thanks for the message. The butt hinges on the cabinet doors at the bottom are more there for effect than anything else. The door itself was the problem and had space for the hinges routed out which turned out to be the problem, one was too deep. I added a spacer in the top hinge on...

working fine now mate... maybe try giving out advice on an advice forum. I have no time for people trolling to make themselves feel better.

@matlob, I played around with it and some spacers and it's done the trick, Thank you! Now just to get this locking mechanism on :/

It is homemade, that's how I started this post. I was after some advice on this issue, being a DIY forum. if you have any actionable advice then fantastic. Saying that its a problem because its homemade isn't helping anyone...fantastic advice there

You can push the corner in yes. The door itself is really light. I even took the cabinet doors off to check if it’s warped but no dice

Photo is only the bottom half of the door. It’s fine at the top corner but the bottom corner sticks out so the gap gets bigger as you go down the door

Hi all, Really hoping you can help. I have attempted to build a “secret bookcase” door for my daughter. The door itself I’m happy with but despite hanging it three times, the bottom corner on the opposite side of the hinge side, sticks out by about 4cm when I close the door. Everything is plumb...

when you say screw to the wall, am i right in saying that I can just use plugs and screws onto the masonry? I dont have space for battening out unfortunately and the wall is a bit wobbly so was hoping that foam would do the trick. Or foam with a couple of fixings just to keep it in place?

I have a shower enclosure that I plan to board with AquaPanel. The walls are brick and i dont have space to batten it out. Is there anything wrong with using a foam adhesive like DRYFIX or similar? I've used it for normal plasterboard but these sheets are 1220x800n and weigh in at 11kg a go so...

Hi, It shares a centre wall with next door yes. It looks like the purlin is supported in the brick wall on either side. I’ve now removed all ceiling joists as they weren’t supporting anything and have started building a new frame so looks like all sorted. Thanks For your help.

Ok update, the first two joists were held in with one nail against the rafter and left balancing on the wall on the other side. There seems to be a structure already built to hold up the roof (see attachment), so am I right in saying that these joists are purely for holding up ceiling and if so...

Hi Tony, thanks for your response. No vertical timber hangers that I can see although the joists are on bricks on the other end so supported that end. What do you reccomend to remedy solution?

Hi all, So I have an not level ceiling so today I planned on removing it, sistering joists to straighten it up and then plasterboarding. The ceiling is lath and plaster that has since been over boarded, so a lot to come down. So here I was in the attic trying to kick the ceiling down and then...

Joists run from left to right on the picture, in parallel to the longest wall. The room below is a kitchen and since there is a lean-to roof on the external wall about a foot below floor level so going into the room below isn't an option. the wall the toilet is against is a brick wall seperating...

Thanks @robinbanks, here is a drawing. I'm planning for the shower to be against the external wall. So i need to get the waste from the toilet, through the shower area, to the outside. Only other thing i can think of is to get a macerator and run the smaller waste pipe below the floor, but...

Hi, I have a small space (1200x2800) for a bathroom. the back of the room (on the external wall) will be taken up with a shower and shower screen (The ones with the left side static and the right side slides open). I need to get the waste pipe from the toilet through the external wall to connect...

Hi all, Im turning my back bedroom into a bathroom and been scratching my head around how to get an extractor vent in as the external wall is over a lean-to roof and pebble dashed. The room used to have a chimney breast in it which has been removed by the previous owners, the chimney stack in...
