    What type of couplers are these?

    The pipe cutter tool stripped the old paint off quite nicely as it went round. It left a nice bit of bare copper for the olive to sit on I even added a bit of PTFE around the olive, controversial!

    Opinion wanted on cavity wall interior brickwork please

    Thanks for the replies. That is the interior side of the external brick wall in the first photo. They're coming back in a week to complete the cavity wall with concrete blocks, plaster and make good. Bit of thread drift sorry... As an aside, the concrete blocks have been stored, uncovered...

    Opinion wanted on cavity wall interior brickwork please

    Hello, I'm having some work done on my porch. Part of the job is creating a half height cavity wall. The exterior brickwork looks ok, but the interior looks a bit messy. Am I worrying about nothing, or is it important to have a tidy finish inside as well? Please have a look at the pics below...
