Onoff

With my first house, not knowing otherwise I added PVA to EVERYTHING, render for walls, mortar for bricklaying, concrete, EVEN plaster. Put it this way none of it's come off! I would religiously add 5 of water to 1 of PVA and used that to mix whatever in place of plain water. I'd size walls with the 5:1 mix also. Not all PVAs are created equal! I used to use Wickes waterproof one. Now it's about £25 for 5L. Sometimes I'd use Unibond's offering.

Edited the link - as Dave already posted. "Smellcon" blocks? Thermashite?

Can't beat a Multi 9 "si" for problem free protection especially with vsds.

Those concealed hinges look incredible. Never knew they existed.

Fair enough

Not yet. It's all smoke and mirrors at the moment...well no mirror yet!

Words fail me...

Friends with a concrete prefab were considering it but decided against it due to cost. Not that expensive, more a case of not having a pot to piss in! As I understand it that system was to be loft mounted and just sucked in fresh air and forced it out of the gaps in the fabric. There was talk of drilling through the solid concrete ceilings. (Of course ewi and mvhr would be the way to go).

One way of looking at in this instance is the company using the photo are proud of a good job well done and just didn't think.

God no! Think about it, she had the hump over whatever imagined slight that caused her to slam the door in the first place. Now she's broken a nail too that'll be your fault as well!

"SWMBO nearly ripped the bloody door handle off when she yanked it shut after me!" Becomes "SWMBO broke a nail in the piddly flush plate trying to yank the door shut after me"!" Doesn't really convey the heat of the moment does it?

Yes it came with the cup. I'm diving into Lidl S,oaks later did you want me to look? Had them yesterday as per pics in the other thread.

Do they pay?

Tbh this green stuff forms like a skin I could peel off. If there's any of that in the internals I can't see hot water shifting it. I think SWMBO attempted to clean it last. The pot probably had a little water in it and that's set up a lovely corrosive atmosphere. The paint pot screws onto a black cowl in the picture above. The cowl is held onto the rest of the gun by 4 fixings that are so corroded I don't know whether they're cross head screws or rivets. I'll compare with the other gun. Might have to Dremmel some slots if I can't get grips on what's left of the screws. Not got high hopes for it, time could be better spent elsewhere but I like a challenge, hate throwing things away and it keeps me out of the house!

Forum Ts & Cs seem fair enough. Read it that copyright remains that of the posting member but in posting we grant licence to BH to use as they see fit?

Wasn't the Aldi one of the same vintage of this spray gun? I had one bought for me as a present. One day it went "bang", more a mechanical than electrical bang and I consigned it to the "repair one day" draw.

Got to keep the traffic upon here!

@Weebles thread on the CURRENT Aldi offering made me dig this old one out bought for peanuts from Aldi back in the day. Used last many years ago to spray 300' of close boarded fence. Seem to recall we thinned down the water based shed & fence treatment and ran it through the viscosity cup. It worked but was a bit "drippy". No big deal in the garden. This was completely green until I started cleaning it up half hour ago: Plugging it in it now and it just hums but seem to recall it made much more noise beforehand, like a "clatter". Presume the electromagnet drives a piston pump? Around the same time Screwfix were doing a seemingly identical model which I also bought but never used. Pic from one on Gumtree: Assuming this one works I can compare the working "workings" etc. Might attempt to use the new one to do my cheapo bathroom doors. Also appears the design was branded as Power Devil. Might pick up a Lidl one tomorrow.

@JSHarris had similar happen I believe.

Just saw Lidls offering:
