Help please for elderly lady who has plumber trying to cutting corners!
Vijay replied to Nico's topic in Introduce Yourself
Any particular one? -
I used quite a few. I found it tied the scaffold in nicely and no trip hazard
-
that looks like a normal transom. A return transom has a kind of upside down U that hooks onto the ledger (at 90 degrees) https://www.scaffolding-direct.co.uk/new-kwikstage-4ft-return-transom-2-2.aspx If you Google retrn transom, you'll get loads of images

so all those grout lines are actually grey silicone in those pics (or not yet filled)?
-
@Onoff what did you use to grout it to stop cracking?
-
Yeah but when you have a planning condition, the choices are limited for low maintenance
-
absolutely agree
-
Hadn't heard of R7, what's the difference from R9?

Living in "illegal" building and affect on future planning

I genuinely think it's all our responsibility to report these things. The problem if we don't is what does someone do next and before you know it people are thinking well they did it so can I. Living in London, I have seen to many sheds/garages turned into rentals and I believe that's because no one bothered reporting it and now it's so out of hand, that councils are just not bothering with it, saying as long as they are built properly. What I suspect is it's another council tax income............ -
Exactly what I'll probably going to use. I agree, very impressive window even up close
-
Exactly what Toolstation did near every Screwfix near me lol No longer £10 for free delivery, they upped it to £25
-
I thought sythes were the large ones with a double handles (one half way down a long handle)
-
For what reason would the frame height make a difference, I'd have assumed the toilets would fit in the same place and the the difference in height is in the upper parts of the frames??

I bought a small Clarke hobby mig welder years ago and never got used to it. The problem I had was using small gas canisters that I couldn't regulate the gas pressure (they have no gauges or real control). I got an adaptor to run a CO2 bottle and what a difference it made, gives a nice flow of gas to the weld. Now I would happy try and weld anything - it's a real nice go to tool to have

Got a bonding coat on the wall today - don't think I'll get any plastering work soon but it fills in the gaps
-
Watched some of his videos before. Do you mean for wall panels? I'm probably going to fit an Abacus shower former which he speaks highly of
-
is it OK to tile straight onto plasterboard?
Vijay replied to TryC's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
What about everywhere else, is that ok or best to skim? -
nothing heavy, will be a walk in shower
-
Now you're just showing off lol
-
-
Can't believe I left out that vital information lol I need to double check the other end, but it is approx 2.5m
-
Before I carry on, can I check opinions on the joists. They are 7x2 sitting on a 3x2 ledger plate, which seems to sit on metal supports. My concern is how the joists are cut to sit on the plate. What do you think?
-
Multipanel is still an option - the problem is getting to see the stuff as everywhere has been closed or they don't stock it. It's my Mum's bathroom and her choice, but she really has to see what ever is going on the walls. Would multipanel straight onto the walls still need tanking?
-
The main wall in the pics are a party wall, but yeah a bonding coat would fill all those gaps in. Once that pipe is out, I'll do the bonding coat I think
