  1. Been walked on? Nickel sulphide inclusion?
  2. You'll very likely get a secondhand chop saw on Facebook Marketplace for not much money and local to you. The orange Evolution saws often come up. Fine for the level of accuracy you need for that.
  3. This is inexpensive: http://www.builditsolar.com/Experimental/DIYHRV/DIYHRV.htm
  4. The 16mm soundblock (blue) board I used does what it says on the tin.
  5. You could ask the tile supplier for all your money back then buy some paint with the proceeds: https://premiumpaints.co.uk/products/everest-trade-ultimate-acrylic-roof-and-tile-paint-high-performance-multiple-sizes?
  6. Paint with live yoghurt or spray with water/manure mix. That'll soon get a nice uniform, aged finish.
  7. Contacted Starlink Weds evening. New gen 3 router turned up today. The only downside is that the new cable is different to the old. I now have to crawl through the loft space in this heat to fit the new cable and unclip the old one.
  8. Wet as in slopping around the barrow. Left it about two years I think before tiling just to make sure!
  9. What about Pink Stuff? Been surprised at what that shifts, calcium deposits engrained on glass etc.
  10. I'd try a bathroom / kitchen limescale remover.
  11. It was caused by "concrete"? Yeah, right! 😉
  12. You bolt / screw a rail on each opposing wall (I used unistrut), set dead level. You then make a tamping bar that "hangs" on the rails, with it's underside at finished slab level. Then just barrow in your screed or concrete and drag/fill/tamp to level. I did 4:1 concrete. Used Everbuild 202 integral waterproofer as an admix that also incorporates a deaerator i.e less bubbles & less tamping to get them out. I'd do it this way again in a heartbeat: I am however a bit odd. You can set your screed rails in the floor so to speak, fill/tamp to them then pull them out and fill where they were.
  13. How wide is your garage? Set up screeding rails either side and tamp to them. Can't go wrong and more level than a level thing. If mixing concrete yourself add deaerator.
  14. Our Starlink gen 2 died about 7am this morning we think. The LED on the router no longer lights up. It had been working since the thunder / lightning storm Monday night. Lad contacted them. "Yes, we can see a problem with your set up, we'll send you out a gen 3 kit, foc, under warranty, asap. Do whatever you want with the old kit". Can't fault the service.
  15. Screwfix No Nonsense remover worked for me.
