  1. Rough them up and put some plastic primer on then paint to match the wall. Just make sure you get the size that'll cover your ducting:
  2. All MY tat is out of the stairs room. I said to SWMBO that I'm ready to dig the floor up. "I've nowhere to put it all!" she said aka the ceiling high piles of hoarded stuff. Can't pin the delay on me luv! ?
  3. Cable guard? https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/tcl/search?query=Cable+guard&Submit=Search
  4. Now don't go off down the rabbit hole again. People are trying to give constructive criticism save for the odd gentle pi$$ take. Out of interest does walking up and down in heels make a difference?
  5. How about erythromelalgia? https://www.livingwitherythromelalgia.org/t/carpet-pain/59
  6. Cheers, that's brilliant. Screwey's info is clearly wrong then! ? Either then I guess.
  7. Must be reading a different bit... Says Macfit 130mm, CON-1 120mm under More Info unless I'm missing something. For 10mm I thought it must be some other difference. The EVA construction maybe?
  8. SWMBO wants a new pan. Tbh no 'effin difference to what's there. So this weekend it's old one out and new one in. The "new" one is the one that came with the bathroom suite. Put that to one side when we went wall hung. Wtf not just sort this one??? She'll paint a room ceiling again and again where the flat roof is leaking. Or buy expensive wallpaper and paste on the hardboard walls we have here in place of pb. Beats me. Getting very like her mother! ?
  9. The horrible ensuite wc here has never been right. 'Eventually' I'll fit a wall hung WC but in a different position if I ever get to extend the dormer. For now though I need to sort this. There's a drip from the flush pipe that's been filled with ancient silicone, might even be boss white tbh. The 110mm (brown) outlet pipe slopes upwards slightly too and now the pan connector has a drip. I think it's a crappy Floplast one. I can't for the life of me tell what the difference is between these two McAlpine pan connectors: This: https://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-macfit-mac-1-wc-straight-pan-connector-white-90-112mm/78806 & https://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-wc-con1-straigt-rigid-wc-pan-connector-white-110mm/2866p
  10. I live in the bottom of a valley. The more leaves fall, the higher the ground gets.
  11. If you've local hot and cold water why not just have a tmv inside and a standard, garden bib tap on the outside?
  12. Is it made in Spain per chance?
  13. I know, it's a bit random isn't it!
  14. Why not just bond a commercial, st/st wash trough to the underside of your counter top? Any upstand you don't want just zing off with a slitting disc and dress with a flap disc. https://www.washwareessentials.co.uk/wash-troughs?
  15. MDF won't like condensation. Might has well make it from cardboard. There's plans for a homebrew MVHR floating around that uses ply and sort of tilts the construction that I guess helps with any condensation. You might be able to pinch some construction tips. https://www.builditsolar.com/Experimental/DIYHRV/DIYHRV.htm
  16. I'll try the local plumber's merchants. Thanks.
  17. Barkeepers Friend powder is great on stainless steel sinks. Especially cheap ones from Wickes.....like I've got.....
  18. Thanks. These pipes though are 28mm in the pictures.
  19. What's the done thing to insulate, pumps, valves & compression joints for instance? It's easy enough to do a neat job on say soldered elbows: But here, say the elbows and the mag filter, just thinking the losses must be quite high through uninsulated components. Cheers
  20. Beer budget hence I DIY. Will drink anything and this shows in my bricklaying!
  21. Some discussion here: As for fibreglass gutter details then @Barney12's detail is a thing of beauty.
  22. Not forgetting loaded! ?
  23. I've one of these for 15mm pipe, I'll treat myself to a 22mm one one day: https://www.toolstation.com/monument-olive-removing-tool/p36967?
  24. That olive will be fine. They come in different forms and brass or copper. This is what I do, right or wrong! -Clean the pipe well with wire wool. -Push pipe in -Smear of Jet Blue Plus where the pipe enters the fitting -Push olive into seat on fitting -Smear of Jet Blue Plus over the olive -Nut it up If the pipes clean up well you could use a Hep2O push fit for ease.
