  1. Or have them "Removed "
  2. Looking good.
  3. Yes it will. skip the trim, and cut them as tight to the ceiling as you can. Mitre off the back top edge to make sure they don't kick out.
  4. I feel very lucky. I see bats every evening in the garden. With my knock and build i'm not required to have any reports bat or otherwise.
  5. Sounds like a plan.
  6. I hate tiling.....When ever i have seen pro tilers, they always use the little plastic wedges, rather than spacers. I asked one fella why, and he said that no matter how much you pay for tiles, they are never exactly the same size. Bloody tiling.....
  7. IN my opinion, flush.
  8. On a job a few years ago i met a polish tiler. It was facinating watching him. He measured nothing. He would hold a tile up, look at what he needed to cut, put it down and cut it. Even including going around sockets etc. He did mitres on a external corners, and used no trim anywhere. His tiling was the best i had ever seen, and boy was he quick. I wanted some tiling done, and spoke to him about it. I showed him photos of the room, and he simply said "A grand" I had been let down, and having seen his work said OK. A few days later he turned up, worked for the day, finished the job, got his money, and off he went. The tiling looked fantastic. The only strange thing about him was that at lunchtime, he went outside for a hour, put some foreign drum and bass rubbish on full blast in his car. Striped to his underpants, and laid down on the drive to sunbathe.
  9. I do hope your ceiling line is level ? Nothing worse than a tile at say 60mm one end of the room, and 90mm at the other end of the room.
  10. Grooves on Right or left though ProDave ? I could never decide on my own kitchens, so always ended up with both bloody sides.
  11. Standard for a tap is 35mm. Sounds like a decent company to be asking you for model numbers, so they can make sure they have them in the CNC machine.
  12. Thats fair enough. The best one i saw was Peter Stringfellow's sink falling through his unit while he was being filmed for Come dine for me. Lot of weight in a sink when filled with water. In 20 years the clips always went in the bin.
  13. Second image. The first one will trap water on the visible stainless steel edge, and be a total pain to keep clean. The worktop fitters should do you a small overhang if thats what you want. Most stone firms have the sinks cut out by CNC machines, so if the sink is in the computer, it is simple template size -
  14. Can i ask why there were not happy. The only sinks i have ever seen fall off are the ones held up under stone on those poxy little clips.
  15. I would suggest not using a shower tray. Way too slippy for a dog. If they put a joint out it won't be fun for them, or you with the vet bill.
  16. P.S. get the back of that sink unit out or you are never gonna get the tap connected.
  17. Been there a thousand times. Used to own a kitchen company..... First you need to cut out most of the front bar . If you have got 20mm doors ? you will want a 30mm overhang on the worktop.You need the drop of the bowl to be between 70 and 100 mm from the front of the worktop. Anymore, and you will be reaching, and bending into the sink. Cut away the front bar to 30mm, then use a router to rebate the sides, and what remains of the front bar. Drop the sink in, on silicon, and aim to get it flush with the top of the cab. The sink will be fully supported by the sides of the cab, so no bar underneath required. IMO, get the stone top overhanging the drop of the bowl by 5mm.
  18. Trif job, and the alcove colour change mood lighting to get that model in the mood.
  19. Exactly, and the shower is to wash the wellies.
  20. Great looking cat. If wall is damp, render will blow.
  21. Right you lot. I told planning (who are a pain in the butt) that it's a shed. So it is not a Villa, Cabin, or 1 bed house. It's a bloody shed. Just happens to be a posh shed OK.
  22. Looks bloody good to me. Just that bit on the top right hand corner of the window. (Well somebody had to point it out)
  23. Gav-P is right though. When you are in the shower washing your bits, you will wish you had sorted it.
