  1. No batteries either, as the quinetic refers to the instant energy created by you pressing the switch rocker. That movement creates the energy required to send the signal to the receiver. They work from miles away too.
  2. That's what I am using in most bathroom jobs these days. Really trick to have a hidden 2G switch behind / adjacent to the bath so you can flip between feature / low level accent lighting and ceiling spots without meeting the man upstairs. Yup. They are IP67 switches that I mostly use. Shit hot and super reliable too. Just put them in my man cave so I could turn off the lights from a second switch by my back door ( Quinetic too ).
  3. I'll give you your due's, if that's your first attempt at tiling. Good effort Forrest
  4. Remember that chat about water / sponge / paint brush / cleaning as you go.........? Because you took that on board the excess should be a doddle to sort
  5. It's a bit blurry, but I think that's a packet of 'nuts'.........
  6. That membrane is as thin as you're going to get, with Ditra etc deeper again, as they are castellated both topside and underneath. With a wet mix of rapid-set flexi under that membrane you could just keep going over it with a 4"roller as it goes off and keep it as shy as possible. You'd have to mix up for one 1m strip x Xm long at a time and wait until the first sets before going onto the next. Only necessary, as said, where it's uber-critical, so you can relax a little as you move inward away from the doors etc. Depends on the tile size of course.
  7. Were you sniffing around for loose change?!? ( again )
  8. Nowhere near enough puff with that, guv.
  9. Good girl.
  10. Only if it’s a clear over a very tight cut / gap. Otherwise I have always said grout then seal. And can we leave your mum out of this now? She’s trying to get some rest.
  11. A real pita to hook out when the cosmetic silicone needs refreshing. The grout is fundamental and the silicone sacrificial.
  12. Your momma sure does care about your schooling, Forrest Will you CT1 every other grout line? No. So don’t CT1 those ones. Simples.
  13. Do NOT attempt to use CT1 as a finish product. Use silicone. Grout the 3mm gaps and sponge them back so they’re just a little concave. Then silicone. CT1 should only ever be on show when it’s the clear one and around a shower glass, or at the wall / floor junction over a grout. Silicone everywhere else. Mapei do a great range of colours, and NoNonsense from screwies is ok too. Grout in the corners first, now I’m off back upstairs. Keep the noise down.
  14. STHIL one in CNS Power Tools was less than £100. I use it to vacuum sites after drilling timbers for 1st fix. Works a treat.
  15. A ‘tent’ of that size will likely need one or two poles to ground ( which would be on top of your roof ). Scaff with poly tent or tarp would be your only choices afaic. A tarp will cave in and fail unless supported by horizontal poles, lots of them, and they’d need supporting so you’re back to scaff. Accept, move on, conquer, and get to the next bit
  16. Try doing that lol. Just use kitchen roll to plug the flexi until it’s outside then lay it on its back to drain it fully.
  17. Qualifications fall out of cornflake boxes nowadays, and then these beauties simply dry off the milk and instantly decide that’s the trade they’ll self-nominate themselves “good to go with’, then promptly head to B&Q or Argos for some plastic tools, and present themselves to the public to do that job. The fact they’ve zero experience or time served apprenticeship behind them seems to do little to deter them, especially when they’ve shared a pint in a pub with these trades folk, and have seen them counting their spoils, and think “oooo, I’ll have some of that”. Some guys have not even lasted a day with me. Plain to see they have zero pride, zero give a f.uck and zero basic knowledge. Plus it pisses the others off to see them asking for the same daily rate when they’re nowhere near as competent. Customers can be idiots too, chipping away at prices ( and then crying that the job is not champagne quality on lemonade money ) and those are the ones I despise. Establishing your expectations is paramount, if you’re as particular as the OP appears to be ( rightly so ) but assumption or lack of clear understanding of what is required ( before a single nail gets knocked in ) will leave lots of wiggle room for arguing after the ship has sunk.
  18. Clearly you've already started on the Lambrini.......
  19. Jurassic arse
  20. Swearing is one thing.....but lying now too ?!?
  21. Under, deffo NOT OK to come above, and a bit worrying that he would suggested it tbh!!
  22. Its only based on one type of base load, IIRC, and was an odd set of hoops to jump through. A bit of a converse way to get somewhere AFAIC.
  23. Renewable Energy Ratio. What % of the consumed electricity will be offset by self ( eg mirco ) generation. We got 37% on that job which was apparently very good.
  24. He's a bit of a cock doing that in front of you unless it was in jest?
