    using floor tiles for the wall - adhesive?

    thanks for that the floor is concrete, altough I need to remove some existing tiles first. the walls were newly plastered about 4 weeks ago, but haven't been coated with anything. So I can use the same stuff for both if I prime the plaster first, or instead use seperate stuff for the...

    using floor tiles for the wall - adhesive?

    Afternoon all we're tiling our kitchen floor with grey ceramic tiles. to keep continuity (and save cash) we want to use them for some areas of the wall that need protection. Now, I believe floor tiles can be used on walls, unlike the other way round. But I want to check about adhesive...

    old iron gas pipe - removal solutions?

    cheers for that the plumber would have to hire a big enough threading tool, but because the pipe is right in the corner he reckons it couldn't be done anyway as there wasn't space. it is still live with gas unfortunately. Ian

    old iron gas pipe - removal solutions?

    thanks for the replies I see my mistake - it's not sealed off as such, but the bayonet connector has a big nut through the back of it which effectively shuts off the supply. but it could be reactivated again easily, so in that sense it is not sealed. I'm also trying to work out the gas...

    Audi TT or Subaru Impreza

    A TT is hardly in supra territory though A bit like saying a TT easily beats a Hyundi coupe... To the OP, are you talking about buying new? The new subaru I recall shares a lot with the Saab models, but the engine and chassis are still very good. If you get a discreat silver one...

    Boiler lighting itself intermittently

    thanks for the reply. I've been trying to get bg on the phone, but they're busy. hopefully they'll treat this as a continuation of the first job, else they'll get me for another fee. the appliance is off, but this doesn't stop it lighting. turning the mains power feed off should do it...

    Boiler lighting itself intermittently

    Our back boiler (Potterton Brava) hads been locking out more and ore regularly over the last few months, so we got a British Gas engineer around to have a look. After a clean out, he relpaced the ignition module circuit board, which seems to have cured it. The problem now though is that...
