5 screws per joist for a 600mm board . One 50mm in from each side, one in the middle and then one equidistant in the remaining gaps. Screwing it down well now is pennies so just get them firing them in like its the Devils coffin lid.

22mm P5 is what you need to ask for. Rock sold, and not expense enough ( compared to P4 ) to complain about. Get the guys to use PU glue and screw it down.

Don't scrap the drum of 6mm! Put it on eBay on an auction and let the fur fly Nothing more entertaining than watching people scrap over your unwanted crap

Sell it and fit new. .

2. Faliure is not an option. Can you nail said Eco-nugget to that gate and THEN put the £50 sign on it?

Pmsl.

Best advice he could have given you tbh.

Time for a bonfire

It's the norm if your screed is over insulation. The way you describe it is with the screed over your slab. How far along are you with the floor build up? What's the proposed insulation / total thickness of all layers etc?

Ready mixed acrylic adhesive or powder?

Taking tiles off will end in tears me thinks. You'll not separate the tiles from the plasterboard without nigh on destroying the PB. Multi tooling between the grout lines and removing the tile and PB in one is the way I go about it. Patching back in is ridiculously hard work, ( details available on request ), but may be impossible if there's no void eg the PB is tight against the frame or cistern etc. Whats your tilers take on removing the tiles?

Tidy, now I won't get any sleep. Get back out there, right now, and dig one up. Ill wait here.

I fitted a new combi a while ago. I told the landlord it was a bag of shat and don't waste any money on it, he said to try and fix it. Cue £150 worth of new fan and it worked for another month or two before popping a circuit board. After a told you so chat, in goes a nice Baxi. As I lifted the old combi off the wall and carried it outside, I remembered to grab the fan out for the LL to put it for sale / stock and went back in for a pozi screwdriver to get it out. By the time I'd walked in, opened my toolbag and walked back outside it was gone. I reckon less than a minute, if that. Went down like a lead balloon with the LL who was convinced I took it. I don't have the Pikies anywhere near my jobs, and I've used the same localscrap boys ( also registered as waste handlers ) for around 10 years or so. Their in my phone as "Pikies" and when I see them around I shout "potato" at them. Goes down a storm.

Put it out front and let the scrap boys take it. That's what puts the bread on their tables so let them have it.

Steel isn't worth the petrol money tbh.

+1. If it pays for the tea, coffee, and a bit of medicinal vino, then bag it and weigh it in as it is and get on with things of importance.

The question is Dai, are you getting there?

Maybe a nice hand-carved egg and dart moulding around the trailing edge of each tread would look nice

?

Your the chosen one, Nick. ?

I thought that would have been into 4 figures. Cheap as chips.

Just changed mine on my big Makita. Makes a hell of a difference and the good thing is they're reversible so only one visit to the shop gets you two changes. Bought it mega cheap from a power seller on eBay, less than half price iirc, brand new in the box. Some late night browsing / buying pays off. Good idea on the plane, then the BS.

+1 to Belt sander.
