    You could be right and I did consider this before I made my postings.

    Message for "justlooking"

    Masona, in the nicest possible way, I think you are being too polite. This person is nothing more than an a***hole. He is using his alter ego on this site, the reality is he is more than likely an insignificant little s**t, who if he does work as a tradesman is getting the mick taken out of...

    One of the reasons our country is going down the toilet

    They used to say that a man chose a car which is an extension of his man hood. As most 4wd are driven, it seems by woman, what can be read into that? BTW liked the bit from fitter.

    I laid a laminate floor in my kitchen 2 years ago, acoss the width of 3.5 mts. it ran off by 20mm added to which it was a mixture of wood and concrete and had meeting lumps and bumps all over. I phoned the flooring importer who advised me to take out the kitchen units, have the floor skimed...

    concrete worktops

    I would also think you would have to be careful with the selection of style & colour of units, don't think they would look good on something too modern.

    Support for a Belfast sink

    Why not put it onto 2 pillars of bricks, I believe that's the way they used to be mounted. You could leave spcaes for the wastes to go through.

    Where they gone?

    As a newcomer to this site I have been going over most of the past postings and notice that a few of the "regulars" have disappeared, by that I mean the ones who answer the questions, what's happened to them? Also if somebody takes the time and trouble to a help you, is it really out of the...

    Kitchen worktop jig / incompatible router

    I could not get a bush for my cheap router, also the longest 1/2 cutter with a 1/4 shank that I could locate was still too short if the worktop was 38mil. thick. What finally put me off, was the thought of a 1/2 inch cutter spinning at 20000 +rpm through hard chipboard all being held by a...

    concrete worktops

    I remember seeing this on an American prog. on Sky. As best I can recall they made a former out of wood and poured in concrete, there was a paper (?) that was put next to the wood so that it could be pulled away cleanly when everything was set. I know the question of weight came up and also...

    Fed up with Politicians in Britain?

    Yes but if you only appoint ministers to something they know about it's pretty limiting, how many ministers of bull s**t can you use at one time.

    AdamW you just gave the reason why some tradesmen get away with it, "your parents gave into him to avoid hassle". The fitter gave a quote, it's not your parents fault if he could not do it in that time & price , why give into him? What they should have done is got someone in to finish the...

    Fed up with Politicians in Britain?

    The problems you mention have always been here and always will be and like everything else will get worse. There has always been a underclass, people with no skills and who bash out one child after another, who were happy to live on state handouts. In the last couple of decades their ranks...

    plasterboard for a ceiling

    Asked my mate who does dry lining for a living, says use 9.5 it's lighter to lift and use plasterboard screws, got a different head shape. The secret is driving screws to exactly the right depth and as Masona says a T support.

    Fed up with Politicians in Britain?

    Trouble is there are a lot of people in this country doing very nicely at the moment and they are not looking further than the end of their nose. Why are they going to moan? they have never had it so good. Most people who do ordinary jobs, for mostly crap money do not seem to count anymore...

    Fed up with Politicians in Britain?

    It's a shame this thread seems to have "died", maybe this is the wrong type of forum. A couple of quotes, I've heard The British do not complain very often but when they do, it's always about the wrong thing. People get the government they deserve. Prehaps someone much more clever...
