Yes Dave, And thats not on.

?

Why didn't I think this through earlier? The problem was staring me in the face....... This is the cross section of our slab You can see that the slab is 100mm thick. (Red elipse) It has some 193 mesh in it ... And I had thought I could put this Wedi shower tray in..... until I decided I should maybe add 6+90+40 before I did anything else. So, its 136mm deep overall. This is the document that nudged my brain into something like coherant thought .... Talked to the architect ... stumped as well. I really really wanted a flat floor wetroom. Really. I'm stuffed now aren't I ? As @Russell griffiths puts it so eloquently .... URGH FOOK FOOK FOOK. Learning a new set of skills is bloody painful.

Thanks at least for that - now I know what to call it.

Schmoozing your wife while cooking together is inevitably affected by an exploding cooker switch innit? This is the miscreant - miserable thing hasn't even got the decency to show any damage - or have blown a fuse or anything. Look at it, not a mark on it........ (greasy, yes, but otherwise intact) Namelss, generic cooker hood, at least 15 years old, took 30 minutes to extract from the hood part of that time required me to lie on my back on the kitchen surface and work as if I was replacing parts on the underside of a car. Nearly went to sleep. Doesnt look like its meant to be replaced because the slider (rheostat? top red and blue wires) is soldered , not push fit connectors like the rest. Bin the cooker hood? Ask @Onoff or @ProDave to travel the length of the UK to fit a new one? Cos they'll do it right first time. DIYable?

And in my case cracking -invisibly- with the inevitable happening. On initial contact , the crack opened and on -how to put this, ermmm ?- under full pressure the crack closed. Firmly. Clenching its nasty teeth into my withers. Stop being a girl, Ian. And stop screaming. I did. To help me stop screaming I got up - well, started to get up - with yet again - the inevitable happening. Oh shit! Exactly. Jump in the shower. Jump into trousers Off to an interview. Sat in the lobby for ever it seemed. "Do come in we're ready for you now" Stood up. Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo. That hurts Trousers stuck to my leg with blood. Which had trickled through and also stuck to the seat. @Temp - buy the most expensive loo seat money can buy. You know it makes sense. Honest.

NO if... you live with (a) bog lid slammer(s) AND you don't like cracked bog seats YES if... you need to pay for Big Bens Bong AND you need to settle your tax bill by the 31st

Get a mate who is wheelchair-bound to give you an opinion.....

Smash + grab?

?

!!!!!! You little old charmer you. ?

Just in case, the seals round the edge are leaking , yes? Or the manufactured window demonstrably leaks?

If the document is locked, you'll need a password irrespective of the software used... And if that is the case, and all you want to do is erase, then creative use of a photocopier is one way. Used to do that all the time - it's quite fun when you get into it.

The explanation given was that it was just too much hassle. Not so much from a supply point of view but what they called 'on costs'. Guarantees extending over several years and so on... I suspect the relatively small proportion of business generated in the uk might also have been part of the Consideration. Grosse Scheisse ist das Alles. I mean look at the amount of uk building stuff that is German in origin....

aha.... thanks

By 'complimentary tiles' do you mean summat like this ? or maybe like this? (image shamelessly grabbed from YooChube) What do you call tiles like that (immediately above) ?

Aha! We have Nulok, and that uses metal battens and clips. Super easy to fit and repair.

This is what I'm doing.... With the agreement of the architect, trim off the foam, measure and fit board (tanalised) between each rafter, screw into each rafter. Tea.Medals.

That's what is brilliant about BH. A really experienced, time served professional and a no-nonsense builder giving contrasting advice. I -as a Know Knowt- have come to realise that when that happens the answer is -probably - It doesn't matter. Except it does, sometimes. What we need to know is the answer AND why. Please.

Ooooh... Whassa problem with them then?

My brilliant stepson called me over today to show me how he was getting on. Here ya go : it's just a little thing .... but massive to me A humble GU10 working on mains electricity for the very first time in Salamander Cottage. Another milestone. There was this nest of spaghetti which makes it possible to switch the lights from three places and this set of intermediate switches ... Quite how sparkies 'see' it all, I have no idea. I could not be more pleased. So thanks @ProDave for telling me about Scolmore Click Mode and for all the support. Had it been up to me there would have been the mandatory 3 gang switch at the door. And that's about all. A small beer tonight methinks. Just to mark the passing of another milestone.

missed that ... ? But wouldn't the Utility designer need to take that into consideration anyway? I mention it because in my direct recent experience if they get the design wrong, then its their responsibility to put it right.

Hmmm, Gary, the door's a mil or two out of line. ....... can see it from here.

I think you could ask the supplier for that specification. Our supplier sends specificationstion to the applicant as part of the standard application process.

Just the one can ? Is that all? Doin' well mate. Doin' well.
