  1. Venetian plaster looks the mutts nuts but is an artform. @PeterStarck's is lovely.
  2. You don't want things getting too dry.
  3. Buffalo Board would look nice...maybe...£££! Good company this: https://www.lathamtimber.co.uk/products
  4. Condensation is the bain of my life at the mo.
  5. Again, a thanks from me for @Temp too. I will try over the weekend to play with bits he did for me. (Donation also made).
  6. Be brave!
  7. No, it's a c***! Worst job in my bathroom by far. Mind I'd never done it.
  8. Bloody FT readers! I feel very conspicuous at the station amongst them clutching my free Metro.
  9. Couple of hours tonight.
  10. I tried giving a laugh / thanks AND like. Best supplier REVIEW ever, still laughing. Splash zone reaches the duck if you're not careful. I'd need them to meet. Compounded by the mixer position. Rhs doors would clout it? Tbh I'm not overly bothered as I tanked everything but NOT the side of the bath, though I did the bath "deck". We squeegee the floor afterwards and I at least kick my used towel around the floor as you advise people I believe. Whatever, the experience is very nice. The rainfall is great. Being 6"5" it's great to be able to stand up straight under it.
  11. No ideas. I don't approach anything with any real scientific acumen. Monkey see, monkey do.
  12. Why mix water and lots of amps if you can avoid it? A simple bar mixer is the simplest and easiest to maintain / replace if it goes wrong as everything is external to the tiles. With my concealed mixer type first I've to prise off the back plate that has a horseshoe bead of silicone between the back and the tiles. That done I have access to the cartridges etc with box spanners inc a 46mm one (meant for a Landrover I think). If however any of the x4 15mm compression joints, 8 if you include the male 1/2" BSP into the mixer body should ever leak, then its smash a tile out time!
  13. @PeterStarck, am I correct in thinking you hired a concrete crusher yourself after the above where you had someone in? Thinking of one of these for a weekend: https://www.micromachinehire.co.uk/machines/purple-pulveriser-4000-series
  14. Nick, any chance of a PM pls where you got these doors from + some idea of cost too for a two door kit like the pic. SWMBO and the kids well happy with the wet room corner but I don't like the albeit slight over spray that goes 1 tile beyond the falls area if you're not careful. The UFH, body dryer and venting will help I know I just want options. You know me, my mind's going off on an exotic forced air curtain / force field at the mo!
  15. Yep I know I ideally want deep discharge types. However.....x4 12Ah batteries of the same type, wired to give 24V used to run my lads kiddie car a treat. Used to get about 45 mins of driving between charges. Had a 5th battery under the bonnet running 12V headlights. Beggars can't be etc.
  16. Hudson Reed mixer valve (as per mine / Dave's) in action, short video. Mine's off a shower pump btw:
  17. If my BiL comes with me to grab the tank you can talk to him all things diggers and dumpers. Knows his stuff.
  18. Everyone loves the controls to one side here. Same as @ProDave's:
  19. Just put the mixer to one side.
  20. I've pushed the tiles up in the pic to show the detail.
  21. So I've a broken one of these (motor burnt to a crisp): And one of these: (From Distel Electronics from memory). And I can get some of these: RPM seems about right...I won't be pushing it...
  22. Well aware I'm throwing good money after bad here... A bit precarious taking this: There is a bit of a fall: The No Nonsense degreaser seems to shift the grime: Daddy's not so little Amish helper: Detailing is bloody awful: Waiting for it to dry:
  23. Once you get really confident you can start designing and making your own jigs!
