  1. Perhaps take the truffle to read the earlier posts next time?
  2. You beat me to it! I find this helps fit any hose to any hoover / fitting:
  3. I just use my Mirka with a generic vac, Earlex 1000 branded as Wickes.

    I can imagine a fierce fire cracking any render.
  5. @Brickie already had that!
  6. Look at @PeterStarck's blog. He used icynene.

    EWI DIY

    Has anyone ever deliberately smacked a hole in a pir/eps EWI'd wall and torched it?
  8. Proper planning: Going to wet cut these visible rips. The Rubi cutter just doesn't give a good enough edge on these ceramics.
  9. I'd want a trip on that...
  10. Or the cheap option: https://www.omegawindowfilms.co.uk/one-way-silver-mirror-window-film.html?
  11. Isn't it @NSS who's got the auto darkening windows? How cool would it be to incorporate that tech in a glass balustrade? Have a pir to trigger pseudo bars or a design if you get too close. A bit like the mesh on the Occulus Rift if you stray too far from the play area.
  12. There is a specific forum for this sort of thing you know? Silly me OF COURSE YOU KNOW!
  13. Just figured the reason for the skylights! Did you position them so guests have no option but to park the car and step out over them? Uplighters?
  14. Glass floor...guests below...you've just come out of the shower wrapped in a towel...
  15. Top tips there, thanks. Pretty sure I've changed one of them in the past but fitted like for like i.e Tower. No idea now which one(s)!
  16. Are you going to have any "stenciling" on it etc? Just thinking to stop kids /dogs running into it.
  17. Looks good. Where's the diving board? Is that above the leaky roof swimming pool?
  18. Decided to as I'm draining down to replace the leaking Tower 3 port 28mm that I'll replace both 2-ports, again Tower brand as one looks a bit suspect i.e. stained. And at the same time give the whole CH system a bit of a clean etc. Deffo got some issues. For instance the system was calling for HW yet the upstairs rads were getting warm the other night! Only guess is the old Tower valves are letting by. I've procured a new Honeywell 28mm 3 port (£60) and two Honeywell 22mm 2 ports (£40 ea). Hoping then: 1) The brass bodies are interchangeable and I don't have to shorten lengthen pipes. 2) That I don't have to remove any olives i.e. reuse the old. With lashings of Jet Blue I reckon they might do up a bit tighter than before. 3) A week maybe two before I do this, should I had some sort of system cleaner to stir things up etc? Vaguely remember adding something via the radiator years ago... 4) Should I think about some sort of Magnaclean thing if so what's good? 5) The upstairs flow / return system (5 rads) doesn't have a drain cock anywhere, add one? 6) The downstairs, ancient single pipe system does have a drain cock that I added. Permanently in place I've a hose attached that runs under the suspended ground floor, through the wall then across the path to the flower bed. 7) What additive should I add upon completion? Any pointers appreciated, anything I've missed?
  19. Measuring tall stories is a breeze I bet...
  20. Tbh I'd just got out of the shower when I took that. If those tiles had been reflective you could have played spot the ball!
  21. AND my mate John The Chippy! He walks in and says "Oh, you've a bit of a shadow line there...what happened?" & "Still, is it the first time you've tiled?" Git! Literally carries a tape wherever he goes! "What you could have done is..." is my favourite. I did once consider a tape measure tattoo on a finger, for measuring bolts...
  22. Looking like you'll see this grout line as you walk in. Easiest to slip the tiles to go on behind the ones already on. Tbh it'll be obscured a fair bit by the basin & pedestal. Got to trim a few tops off!
  23. Yep, I've used a 10mm notched trowel to bring the tiles out a bit.
  24. I just routed some 8"x2" I think it was with a simple jig and used the same for the treads. Glued and screwed (6x100s). I also put 3 bits of studding across. All I've got left is this short section:
