Thanks for replying my Irish friend 🧡 Another forum member has been most helpful thanks @ETC

Its been a while since i have posted but looking for any contact details for a plan drawer in Glasgow. I am planning a single storey extension to the back of three bedroom semi built around 1964. Basic rectangle, 3.5m x 5m to house a new kitchen. Drawings for planning and BC. @ETC @Gus Potter @Iceverge Come to mind as folk who might know of a person or company. I'm intrigued about how much I can do myself but feeling my fitness is not as good as it was and there is a young joiner across the road who is venturing into the extension business. Many thanks Sam

Nice to hear from you again @Jeremy Harris old fruit. I think you will outlast my 10 year old Makita battery

I'm currently in a rental in Quebec and the tank is in a tray, with a drain. Also the wee white thing is a sensor which turns off the water in event of a leak.T

Getting some studwork walls in our new office that I've yer to sign the lease for. Happy withe joiners quote but he asked along his electrician as we will also have a few sockets and light switches. Each exiting wall has around 5 double sockets 2,3m apart and have a 16 Amp circuit breaker the mini type. Electrician not happy to add three double sockets for the work kitchen area, kettle, fridge, microwave ( be nice to put a slimline dishwasher in too) and wants to rip out and replace the board too for North of £6k. It's an office for maybe 15 people and use will be laptops and a few pics. It's got gas central heating so no electric heater. I know I'll need a second opinion but is this a bad install by the Romanian guys who did the refurbishment for the landlord. It's got a completion certificate but I have not yet seen it...bit worried about this now

The other hoose does have rooms etc but can't work out what one has the toilet.

Okay so I think it was added in 70s but what colour is the Armitage Shanks classic.

Show us some pictures please

Finish this off, very happy with the neoprene tube product. Floor waxed and job done. The picture if of a very uniform gap but it coped with less and more. It's about how much you stretch it for thinner gaps.

Thanks @Nickfromwales

To finish this off, the pipe in the wall had indentations from over tightened previous crocodile rings so solvent weld wasn't looking good. Used the McAlpine flexy with compression fitting and it held very tight. Now out the wall the end of the flexy was jointed to the existing using the rubber joiner from saniflow. Job done.

Update bought the 6mm roll and have it a try Think it's got promise The floor has to be cleaned and prepared and touched up for scratches and waxed. Then this stuff. Will post the finished results.

I've looked at the reviews for Draught Ex and for £31 it looks like it's worth a go. Basically a foam tube that you stretch and ram into the gap, black in colour so if pushed well in creates a shadow. Seems the trick is gauging the amount of stretch to make it thin with the amount of ramming in to the correct depth. It then expands so you get a nice flexible deal. Reviews say it can be hard on the old knees but if you take time a good result. My knees are too sore so if the youth want a lesson then crack on, it's up to them. Do we do too much for our little darlings now that they are 23 and returned to home city after graduation...that said at 23 I had completed apprenticeship, bought a flat on an endowment mortgage and sprog number one was a year away. Old days old days

Plan was to fit laminate flooring so lifted carpets and found this. 100 year old Glasgow tenament fairy solid but 6 to 10mm gaps. Read quite a lot but as it in good nick would want to nail the odd squeaky board then wax it. I'm thinking a squirt od black silicone for the gaps afterwards? What says the forum? 2nd floor so no real ventilation issues. More the gaps collect grime.
