  1. What about stainless steel cable trays then window boxes sitting on them. Easy to maintain. Simple pipework irrigation system...or a watering can.
  2. I'm thinking maybe Zinnser Bulls Eye 123 for the wall? Before the colour of your choice. Could you bolt some offset stainless mesh to the wall for a climbing plant screen or are you thinking terraces? FFS not ivy!
  3. If you get hold of him he'll certainly whine!
  4. If mods make a typo and edit their post does it show as having being edited?
  5. I'd have nailed him to the fascia and posted it on social media as a warning to others! ?
  6. Should be a label on the lead given the wound and unwound loading. Something like this:
  7. ...even get some stickers printed up...
  8. Lot of mice on here have the same idea.
  9. Possibly hardcore for a ramp to comply with Part M?
  10. Got exactly the same issue in 4 places on my dormer. Mine is a lot more jerry built than yours though. I did think about folding some stainless mesh into a V.
  11. The only thing with a water fed pole system is that the professional kit doesn't use "normal" tap water. The cheapo ones you just attach to your hose tap. They use variations on de-ionised water or a reverse osmosis system. Ordinary tap water can and does streak. That's the systems that just use water and no detergent. Imho, if you can get to the glass it's Fairy Liquid in a bucket with a dolly and squeegee. Microfibre cloth to pick up any runs.
  12. Water fed pole with a brush on the end? Pretty common.
  13. Could a custom clip be 3D printed? You sketch it I'll print it. Or is it that the hob projects too far down and hits the cutlery draw?
  14. He keeps the BCOs that visit site in one of the dungeons.
  15. There isn't one, it's just prissy tarts wanting to push boundaries. Like awkward clients who are never happy and just complain because they can. Live with it. Literally. Buy Aico, follow the instructions, fit and live should the worst happen.
  16. Look on YouTube at the AqualSeal tanking kit. Basically, once your boarding out is done whether some form of cement board or moisture resistant plasterboard, you tape all corners and junctions (like wall to floor or even perhaps wall to tray) with a super sticky, absorbent bandage. You then paint on tanking which is a liquid in alternate direction coats. End on a vertical brushed coat. You prime and tile over the tanking which is a continuous membrane.

    I've watched the videos of the old boys doing it on YouTube, read up on it etc. Either you use fist size square blocks of flint or random shape, again nominally fist sized ones. The thing is with both types you select those that have depth, a tail I think they call it. In many cases these flints have are not much more than slivers and have very little depth. They are selected for their face features not their size. I can't use different flints either. These have sentimental value having been collected by a relative who was an amateur geologist. There is no precedent for doing this, such thin ones would not be used in traditional walling. Next plan is to clean all the flints up where they have resin/mastic on and coat the backs with a SBR/cement slurry before trying the traditional bedding against a board.

    Tonight's efforts:
  20. Jeremy hasn't been on here for nearly 2 years now.
  21. I used 12.5mm Aqua Panel (Knauf I think?). Had to cut with an old circular saw and carbide grid jigsaw bits. That and Starrett cutters. Quite sharp and dusty. If the timber studwork you're screwing it to is fractionally off it hairline cracks. (It is tbh still held together by an integral reinforcing mesh).You need special screws for it too and often special joint filler between boards. I would though use it again.
  22. First time I'd ever cut tiles and I decided to do tiles in the wet room corner!
