You’ll need a timber in the door leg to fix your frame The stiffener is the tiny rip of plasterboard above the door head Simple but crucial

I’ve just been to a job (Care Home) One that we did the taping on but didn’t have anything to do with the framing or boarding We we’re apparently to expensive Cracks have appeared above each door frame A simple blame exercise The client is refusing to cough up the final payment until these cracks are remedied Ive stripped several of the boards off to find there isn’t any vertical stiffener A simple rip of plasterboard that reenforces the joint and stops it cracking Make sure your framers put these in

No I wouldn’t If you can’t live with the grout a bit lighter These DIY products will annoy the hell out of you Bit late for you now We normally mix a good sized blob of grout and leave it on a window cil while we are tiling You would be surprised how many homeowners want to change the shade Thats why most developers choose white or ivory

Dremel and a steady hand Make a cut down the centre of the grout Then use a grout raker You would be surprised how often grout colors get mixed up Will take a day on a 30m2 bathroom

The problems at the beginning is Every time you bring in a truck of mot is 500 quid Same with muck away and concrete Costs soon rack up
