  1. Some Wickes 50mm I had was awful. +55mm at the edges. The 100mm bought at the same time was fine.
  2. Can't remember what I paid for my tiles, £8 or was it £17/m2? Just remember they were expensive. ?
  3. I should add I was very careful to protect my finished floor with sheets of Correx temporary protection boards.
  4. Floors first. Then tile down to the floor with a 1mm gap. No dirty, bottom grout line etc. A old Welsh boy taught me that trick.
  5. Perimeter expansion strip isn't it?

    Hello!

    My lads bedroom has a door into the eaves. It was once a plan to do the doorway as the TARDIS and create a sci-fi themed den. Could have, would have should have... ?
  8. Welcome. Great attitude to have a go at everything. It's about the journey not the destination! Keeps the old grey matter ticking.

    Hello!

    It's a lot bigger on the inside.
  10. Seller is an arse. A promise is exactly that. I'd arranged my weekend around going to get it. Hopefully he dies a painful death when the door falls on him in tomorrow's gales. Karma.
  11. Tbf, to date, I've only had good experiences buying.
  12. Well that little exchange with a seller on Gumtree has really knocked my faith in the site and people having common decency! Agreed to collect a door from the seller Sunday afternoon. I was actually going to make a +200 mile round trip as it was the exact size I needed. Gave him my phone number etc. Received a message tonight: "Just to let you know Door is now been sold Sorry" I messaged back that I thought we had a gentleman's agreement and that I wasn't impressed. "I've been let down before by people promising to turn up So whether yr impressed or not it's sold" I know how Gordon the Gopher is feeling tonight.
  13. ?
  14. I've moved 18T about the same size but twice the length as the container on floor skates. Mind that was on a glass smooth warehouse floor..... (It only fell off once... ?)
  15. If I buy a s/hand upvc, 2 panel door that needs a piece of glass for the top panel, how much smaller than the opening do I order the new piece? Cheers.
  16. Have a look at Slimbook Battery 3, gives "advanced" power management options. https://slimbook.es/tutoriales/aplicaciones-slimbook/100-slimbook-battery-3-app-optimizar-bateria-portatil
  17. Sounds like mine. Pics of the inside on page 3:
  18. Butt! Ring! ?
  19. See here: https://talk.electricianforum.co.uk/topic/25191-plastering-over-wagos-or-crimps-or-ashly-or-line/?tab=comments#comment-343409
  20. The original thread had Photobucket pics in so no use now. I'll redo it sometime. Meanwhile here's the gist: https://forum.buildhub.org.uk/topic/9640-electricians-insulator-stripping-tool/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-164203
  21. Down here was once known as Bidonville with good reason. Pretty much every dwelling was a shack. It was the done thing to put down a layer of crushed, broken glass pre any floor slab to discourage rats.
  22. Fun facts on adder bites. We get quite a few around here: https://www.arc-trust.org/facts-and-advice-on-adder-bites
  23. There are a few apps like Wifi Signal Strength Monitor you can get for your Android device.
  24. Muddy the waters is probably about right! ? Arguably on a TT you'll have done all you possibly can by fitting a 100mA td rcd upstream (& DP 30mA rcbos downstream). What alternative is there? Imo always try and fit all the RCDs of the same make so you can take it up with the supplier/maker. Makes it easier to get a replacement to swap out.
