The pics are a bit out of order £100 per metre refers to the slate tiles behind the stove Think he gave me the 4m he had spare for 70 squids! They were 15/20mm think and really heavy. They act like a storage heater after the stove has been on all evening they radiate heat through the night.

phone died but got an old one from a kitchen drawer so don't expect David Bailey standards. Any how here are some pics of how it looks at the moment. I've inserted another dozen or so in entry number one!

Securing Bar Shower valves
Tennentslager replied to JanetE's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
When I did mine I used the fixed bar in option 1 but it was too deeply fitted with not enough thread showing once the tiles were fitted. In the end I had to cut the chrome covers that go on last and trim 10mm off of these using a dremel multi tool. The grohe cover fittings were 20mm deep so had some room to workwith...lucky for me and lucky I managed a nice clean cut. -

Hope you have something to read in there... Save you from constantly inspecting the plumbing. Oh and better than reading the ingredients on shampoo bottles? -

I replaced the diaphragm in the sipon a couple of times by making a new one out of a plastic milk carton but it only lasts 6 months so decided to replace the whole siphon. It's in my lads rental flat and I text the landlord to keep him informed. Helps keep us on good terms as he knows a plumber will take 50 squids... Anyhoo bought a siphon kit from screwfix for a fiver and set about it. Next day there's a leak from the close coupling. Top tip I didn't know, you must replace the big rubber donut each time you uncouple the cistern. It was only 1.90 but of course had to go back to screwfix again! The new one had settings for 6,8 or 9 ltr flush and I chose 9. No domestic water meters in glorious Scotia. What a difference this makes! All I will say is there are some big lads using this loo and the extra flush is so appreciated.

These old Berg tools are from Sweden and have a few quality features. Firstly the curved handles are ergonomic and intended so that you can open and close the jaws by dipping you 4th and 5th fingers. The curve of the pliers are ideal and you grab the shoe upper and rock on the hammer using leverage to get it nice and tight. Pop a nail in place with your free hand let go and use the hammer to chap home....and repeat... They are beautifully balanced and easy to spin around a la a gunslinger from a Western?? They are called lasting pliers. Most shoemakers will have three pair s of different sizes with the small ones having a narrow clamp, maybe 4/5mm across. These are used for going around the toe area to make nice neat little pleats.
