Disagree all you like...pretty sure you're wrong! ? Tbh the ones to really comment are the board manufacturers themselves. Grooves in wooden decking, in my experience do little to aid grip anyway. They're just let's be honest troughs for moisture and debris to collect. @cwr check with the board supplier and let us know what they say.

Grooves down. They're there to aid air flow underneath and help prevent rot. It'll still be slippery. Paint with anti slip deck paint like this. It really works: https://www.toolstation.com/cuprinol-anti-slip-decking-stain-25l/p22463? I've heard the No Nonsense stuff is equally as good. Just redo it periodically.

Why not ditch those (silly, imo), long tile slivers and go with 316 polished stainless strips, 6mm thick. If say that's more doable. It'll be a bitch to do whatever.

Not gnomes then?

What blew, the battery pack rather than the tool?

You look like a right cowboy! ?

These links might assist: https://www.ageukmobility.co.uk/stairlift-advice/how-are-stairlifts-installed Plenty of pdfs on the web and YouTube vids: acorn-installation-manual.pdf 926.pdf My mate services them if you've any specific questions.

You can pick them up for peanuts secondhand on Gumtree. Often you'll have to take tools and remove / transport it yourself. Can be pretty cheap too as people want shot of the memories etc...so turn that to your advantage. You may of course have to deal with a grieving family, telling you how Mum loved going up and down. They might also smell like when Brian Potter's packed up in the power cut... Or make one... Add rope or cheap engine hoist... ?

I'm thinking she's scratched the glazed porcelain is the issue? SWMBO here has used a DIY bath refinishing kit a couple of times at a previous house and tbh it came up well. Quite expensive and labour intensive. From memory you have to "sand" whatever it is you're going to paint. Then here in this place she changed the whole suite colour from advocado to white when we first moved in. Did the bath, bath panel, basin/pedestal and wc & cistern. This is mid rip out but give her her due it came up alright at the time. I think she even did the inside of the wc and it lasted. I'll look later. Think the pan is still in the garden being used as a quirky planter!

I wonder if there's an equivalent of the Mrmagic franchise in the US? There seems too, to be many more options for "porcelain spray paint" type products in the US: https://hdsupplysolutions.com/c/porcelain-repair-00-100-40-15 The danger of her DIY ing of course is making it worse. Many of the paints you have to leave to harden for X days also. Did she take a before photo? If that bad maybe "re dirty" it then call the landlord. "Oh look, it's all scratched underneath, that's why it gets so dirty!" ?

This is it now. Just some loose laid pavers against the gate track. It gets mucky and makes the gate stiff to open over this section. I must measure the relative heights; block thickness and track height but I need to sink those block edges down a fraction. Pretty sure even a little extra track height would help keep it clean. I'm thinking the blocks abutting the track can eventually just sit there with no bedding underneath, held in by the ones at the side and the sand between the blocks. Worst case I'll have to raise the track on some st/st packs.

Only just read this after responding to your email! Told you they would say that. Wtf call it FLOW control then? ? One thought...in the event of a failure of ANY concealed mixer it may mean tiles off etc. If you're needing the shower daily, don't have an alternative, have carers coming in etc then a good old surface mount, thermostatic mixer bar might be the way to go instead as easier to sort if a failure. Quick to replace on just a couple of stub pipes coming out the wall. Fix it firmly and it might double as a grab rail. Probably just as likely to bang their head if they slip on concealed or surface.

What some people deem lack of progress! ??? Love the saw, especially the well placed NVR on/off switch... ? Did you bother with any dust extract when cutting the pir? Makes my eyes stream, throat sore etc. Believe it off gasses too when you cut it. I really don't think it's good for you.

Yep, I've always rated it. A reassuringly noxious whiff to it. Just think if I don't want to be in the room sniffing it then the nasties won't either!

Just someone's opinion...spot on imo ? https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2001/dec/19/artsfeatures.lordoftherings

Tried reading LOTR, gave up. Fell asleep just past the opening scenes of the first film. What complete b@l@cks! Give me Warcraft any day. If I wanted to hear people speak funny I'd go to Bristol or Cornwall.

I'll take any attention going at the mo!

Ditto unheated bathrooms.

PM me your email and I'll send it that way. I'm sure though they'll just revert to saying you should be able to turn it a bit and get a little flow but should really be used full on, like you said they already have and that that's what my video shows.

About 50' from where I'm sitting typing this...at home!

&...the manual refers to"flow control":

Isn't boron only any good for interior timber that won't get wet?

You'd think it a national scandal...
