Tennentslager

My sister used them and was very pleased, and she is very exacting in her standards?

House still has vent bricks so of course it leaks air like a sieve...so is there any point in trickle vents? And yes, just had COP26 in the city where they make Tennents who incidentally claimed the other week that the whole production process is powered by renewables

Called one local firm of commercial glazers who also do domestic DG, they coming next week. House is 1964 brick semi with a small extension so 11 windows and two doors too. Any tips on what to look out for? Living/dining room was replastered after the old DG was installed so reveals like in the picture. I shall ask for a triple glazed price too. Any views on Oak cills and trim around the reveals...? Some have the white plastic ATM, is this a bodge or standard to cover up inevitable damage when removing the old? The front door is a cold area because of all this glass...? As ever, many thanks. Any guestimates about how much £7k to £10k maybe?

Love it

Where in the world is this? Any manufacturers marks anywhere to be seen?

@ProDave or @Onoff How to fix this..

So was cleaning up the garage, power has been turned off for 5 years or more. Giving it a lick of paint. Found this MK switch fixed to a square of 20mm ply that was soaked and rotting behind the switch. The third picture is inside and I guess what the switch used to look like.

Direct action...

First prize to @JohnMo for the most concise thread ever... Fantastic looking house, love that no parking sign or context. Go on now and send some pictures of your view from the house. Smashing!!

Picture would help

Sit further back, show off... Or Move the toilet seat if it's adjustable

The Nissan showroom by the M8 has a fancy car elevator over 6/7 storeys, glass walled to show of the cars so very doable. I returned a hire car in Japan and was shocked to drive it into an elevator and go up to the 8th floor to return it. Locals didn't bat an eyelid...

Not so clever daughter cleaned the inside of the student private rental loo with wire wool and the loo brush and it's all scratched. I spent £8 on the little stick thing when I scratched my new sink with titanium wedding ring but it improved it only very very slightly. She's worried about loosing her three month deposit around $1500. Any tips, yes, she's in USA on full financial scholarship.

Personally I'm not a fan of lining paper, I have it in one bedroom in this house. Only way to get it looking good is to strip the lot and see what's underneath. You might get away with filling and sanding the plaster then repainting. It might need a skim if it's bad. Do it once, do it right and job will be a good one. Everything else is a compromise.

I think a picture is needed here...

Welcome Dave, we like pictures and plans? Traditional or contemporary...

https://www.plumberparts.co.uk/advice/general-plumbing/how-to-install-compression-fittings Two minute video here. Yes you can sand paper the pipe a little but if you get the olive on and some tape it will be fine.

Looks like it wasn't tightened enough and no ptfe tape on it. It's a compression fitting so inspect pipe for damage, inspect the olive and if all is good reassemble with 5 turns of tape and tighten away. One big wrench to hold the body of the tap and another on the nut. Hope that's what your asking...

Welcome Nigel, Nice house. Plenty of help on here for you to DIY the plumbing. What heating system do you have?

tapered edge allows mesh tape plastered in to make the join

Tidy job Jack, it's not going to fall down with that underbuild. 20 years here in disability advocacy but have to say referrals re employment issues are like hen's teeth. Maybe one a year, probably because the employment rate is so so low for folks.
