@Barney12 Why not borrow mine for a small donation to the forum ? Rubi 1200mm scribe and snap. Rubi 1200mm wet radial bed saw on legs. Buy it a wire brush and clean your wet cutter up ??

Yup, adhesive can be a proper rip-off, but they're aiming at DIY and retail punters, and know the trade boys won't touch it. £12 a bag down here for Granfix, and a tiny bit more for standard set.

Use the mop. you'll never go back

Yup, but Chinese slate needs a scrubbing brush for the grain on the last pass, then a final mop. Seal the slate first of course

Nice tile. Do NOT put a grey grout in....PLEASE! @joe90 A top tip for grouting, after sponging to get the first wipe out of the way, switch to a cheap mop to remove the remainder. A caretakers mop, rather than a fibre mop, is the best as it doesn't drop into the grout lines. Cleans this stuff up ( especially the charcoal / black ) in minutes, whereas with a sponge and bucket you'll be there for hours.

Snickers for me with pads in pockets. The ones that strap around I found cut off the blood supply to my lower legs / feet and gave me pins and needles. Avoid trousers where the knee pad is pushed up from the bottom of the knee pocket, with the Snickers ones dropping in from above.

Theres very little to dislike about that site, looks amazing. Agreed, worth the wait. -
I think another member made a good suggestion. When it arrives lay it flat, outside, and level it by whatever means. Then run water over it to see if its all free running to the drain and doesn't pool at the corners / other.

Could you elaborate on that a bit please J? Do you mean 2 ducts joined into a reducer, say 2x 75mm ( cant remember the common size, maybe 65 / 63mm? ) into 1x 150mm for a single point double capacity terminal? Im looking at a proposal putting 2x single extracts into a reasonably sized utility ( beefing up to remove a bit more heated air generated from all the white goods that will reside there ), plus the plant room would be in that room too, eg a door into the utility. So the thought is that one may struggle, so put two in, at opposite ends. Outside the utility entrance door there will be a cloakroom WC, so an extract in there too. The utility and cloak doors are linked to a tiny sealed lobby, the seal formed by a third door to the kitchen, so next thought is to increase the single inlet in that lobby to a larger single inlet to match the 3x local extracts, doubling up 2x 75mm ducts into one 150mm. Any issues with a 150mm inlet servicing those 3x 75mm extracts in close proximity? Also; Is there any scope to put in some kitchen inlets at low level, even though a typical kitchen 'room' should only have extracts? It'll be an open-plan room, with fresh inlets over the dining / living space just off the kitchen, so a myriad of difficulties to overcome in order to get the right air shifting in the right directions in the right amounts

Ahhh, the old outfit in an aerosol can. "Make it so, number 2" . Tres bien. -
Just down the road from me. Used to live there. Less than a mile from my house there's a load of underwater canals which were apparently used for mining that have caused mid-terrace houses to just drop and fall to ruins whilst the ones to the left and right are still up and intact. I doubt if their mortgage companies are too respondent to lending on the equity

Benefit or necessity? Check with the manufacturers first to see if their panels need that for warranty etc.
