  1. Handy stove fan: https://www.aldi.co.uk/workzone-wood-burning-stove-fan/p/072454265672401
  2. I think its more for ventilation under the panels. Keeping the panels cool I believe improves efficiency too.
  3. ? https://www.tradetiler.com/consumables/grout-colorant.html
  4. Stopped between floors as in broken down? I used to work with German firms and tried to learn a bit of the language. I was asking how to spell something like "essen" and the guy said "No we never say "s, s", we say "double s"...we had a bad time during the war!"
  5. @Nickfromwales, these SELV deck lights. Obviously meant for garden decking but IP67 and cheap! The lamp unit itself is IP67. The (very) thin stainless flange sits on the face of the tile. Water could then get between the flange and tile face and in turn under the bath. In the garden no issue of course. Not that it'd be that much water anyway. I was going to apply a thin bead of silicone sealant to act as a sealing washer but figure this might be detrimental to removing later on to replace. To replace it'll be a thin blade job either side to lever them out without damaging the tile. What do you reckon to silicone grease here instead of silicone?
  6. Ja.
  7. They're wet under the Antinox sheets. A combination I think of never really having lifted them up since tiling when I was sploshing water about in there. I also think there's an element of condensation about it. Room is v.cold at the moment. There's 175mm of insulation under the slab. Where warmer slab meets cold room maybe? It'll all come good with some proper heating and venting in there.
  8. Think the gun cleaner is acetone based.
  9. Chucked the lights in. I'll sleep on it. Then SWMBO will decide!
  10. The absolute mutt's nuts Morse Cobalt hole saws imo. Cut countless stainless steel with those.
  11. Doh! I've only gone and ordered a "deep" hole saw from the same place I did before in the opening thread only to find it's a standard one.....like I did before. SHISTERS!
  12. Single, white females with a penchant for wandering the CCTV covered communal areas in the noddy? Seriously though well done!
  13. Roughly where the 22mm hole is! SWMBO decrees we see what 3 looks like with the option of going to 5.
  14. Bugger! Just done my 18th with a lad from Woking and he could have dropped one off. Probably won't see him for another 10 years.
  15. No. Totally different tool. Go buy a Lidl Parkside one: https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/Offers.htm?articleId=19790
  16. As to "three down the side" do we reckon one in the centre and one each end or 3 in the main 3, uncut tiles?
  17. Whack some rat poison down and wait for the smell. No rats, no smell. Saying that in a well sealed house the smell must be proper rough! How do I know? Just had the same issue. Who else has flies in the house mid winter? Glad my lad's at uni as it smells the worst in his room!
  18. Something I wrote in another thread. "Once the low expansion foam can is on the gun you leave it on until it is empty. You do not take the foam can off to clean in between uses unless you need to change foam types. You use the gun cleaner with the red nozzle on to clean excess, WET foam from around the nozzle (and anything you might get it on accidentally). You undo the knob screw at the back of the gun to adjust the foam flow rate and squeeze the trigger. When finished for the day you turn the knob to close the valve and clean the end. Put it aside and pick up the next day or next week, month etc. When the can is empty: Have an open plastic bag/bin liner ready. Have the gun cleaner at the ready with the red nozzle on. Unscrew the empty can quickly and put straight in the bin bag. Pick up the gun cleaner and use like an aerosol to spray up inside where the can screws on as some foam will be coming out there. Then screw the gun cleaner into the gun and give a blast thru pointing the nozzle into the bin liner. Remove the gun cleaner and screw on your new can of foam. After you have used the gun then yes you can leave it upright with the foam can still screwed on, with the base of the can on the floor for however long you want within reason. Cleaning these guns doesn't mean a quick squirt through. Pretty sure the instructions say to put the gun cleaner on and leave for X minutes before blasting through finally. This is more for if you want to thoroughly clean the gun and store without a can on".
  19. Go for it. Tbh I think the TS gun cleaner might be cheaper too. Whatever I would stick with that Soudal foam linked.
  20. This: https://www.screwfix.com/p/soudal-soudafoam-expanding-foam-gun-grade-750ml/5026D? + https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-foam-applicator-gun/28483 + https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-foam-gun-cleaner-500ml/60133 SO much easier than the hand held cans with drinking straw tubes you'll wonder how you managed without one.
  21. Lots of cracked sealant around the inside too I note. Worth renewing. Again on the inside if you remove the old silicone then foam any gaps. (Low expansion Soudal from S'fix in a proper gun).
  22. The Evolution behaves like no other saw I've used. Slow start as in very slow start. Runs at about half the speed of a similar diameter blade in an "ordinary" saw. Blade / tooth set arrangement is unusual too. GREAT for chopping up box section, angle iron, scaffold and conduit. Sounds more like a 9" grinder than a chop saw. Just about OK for architrave. Utter shite for through housings & skirting.
  23. Someone on here had a good link to a place that does older DG components. ???
