  1. I'd flood test in that gap between the pavers and frame first. Gut feel is it's getting in the edpm "laps" up the sides on the upstand or worse at the base. You'll get a mass of water above/to the side of the leak and simple gravity will push it to find the smallest crack hole. Will v.likely get worse when any trapped water freezes, expands and widens the split etc.
  2. Review says its mainly recipes? I want something more biased towards identification. ?
  3. It's all hedgehog in a clay oven here! Tbh I stick to wild fruits, the usual greengage, bullace, damsons etc. I've done rosehip wine and pretty much every other country wine you can think of. Tapped a birch tree for it's sap once. I do enjoy stinging nettles. Should eat more of them really. Going to buy that book @Cpdposted up.
  4. It was an annual event as a kid, going along with my Irish Mum (now 88) picking mushrooms in the local fields and I mean a lot of them. We'd eat them raw straight out of the ground after peeling. The FiL now will still happily pick the ones from my garden now. @Tennentslager, not just a bit sick if you get it wrong as this now famous case shows: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/8675690/Nicholas-Evans-I-wanted-to-die.-It-was-so-grim.html Always ask the landowners permission before picking or you can get into truffle..... I'll get me coat...
  5. Very true. Time better spent reading about the magazine fed bog roll dispenser.
  6. Well when you've finished reading my thread look at some others!
  7. Gut feel is with you, that it's "tracking" from elsewhere.
  8. Would you even notice, what with all the watersports etc?
  9. Didn't we discuss this way back? Hanging bolts from bits of timber etc?
  10. The blockwork nicely frames and sets of the dungeon window!
  11. Too late to incorporate a hypocaust?
  12. Resin anchors, resin anchors, resin anchors!
  13. Whatever you're proposing is then now "unconventional" as in its not the norm! You should have used proper tile trim at the outset as you now realise. I was half wondering if you could still use convetional tile trim but hide the perforated side by filling and creating a bell mouth effect edging the window. Attach with small smears of "No Nails" type grab adhesive. That'd take some deft trowel work! You'd need to mask up the trim pre filling / painting the wall. In this pic then, ignore the tile above the trim and imagine that stuck to the pb. If you use timber then again attach with small blobs of "No Nails" type grab adhesive. Chrome angle? Would match the tap! Again fix with grab adhesive. Picked at random. https://www.northantstools.co.uk/product/geneisis-polished-chrome-aluminium-self-adhesive-edge-protector-2-5m-eaa100-91-10mm-x-10mm? Tbh with your woodwoorking skills I reckon stained timber. Maybe distress it a bit, wavy, bark like rear edge etc?
  14. The Welsh laser method works a treat, I'm sticking with it!
  15. Ta. Just processing that...
  16. Cheap seats here:
  17. Marking this bottom row of tiles! I'm presuming I need to place a 3mm tile spacer under the tiles that are there already and then put the top of the laser line to the underside of the spacer? Pencil mark that point each end and cut to that?
  18. Will do. I'll get this bit tiled first and try the basin there. Pedestal will hide plenty. Beginning to think the pedestal is a mistake tbh!
  19. Any way I can "pull" this 1 1/4" solvent weld waste around by 5deg? Suddenly remembered I set it wrong when I did it! Thinking of a chop off/adapt fix: The smallest bend available seems to be 45deg. Tbh the basin might fit in OK and this cause no issue.
  20. What's the thought here, where in getting the excess adhesive off I've "scabbled" the Aqua Panel underneath making the surface a bit crumbly? Thinking vac it then a smear of tile adhesive before retanking: Ta.
  21. Thanks. I once saw a PIRA Sten copy made from square section including the barrel!
  22. I'm on the lookout for replica Stirling plans if anyone knows of any. Want to make make one for my brother as an ornament.
  23. Gyproc Soundbloc at a guess. I know Rockwool batts are better at soaking up sound than pir.
  24. What about a plain upvc white trim up that edge? For example: https://www.eurocell.co.uk/trims-and-cills/trims-quadrants-and-angles/25mm-d-mould-in-white-x-5m? Or a strip of timber stained to match the worktops?
  25. Great news! Pleased for you both.
