  1. Good luck to him. Met him at at BuildIt. As an aside do Sunamp do anything / offer their products on the Continent as in France etc?
  2. If you use the same size holes as the outer plate you can't fit in the tools to service the mixer. Like this bad boy big box spanner! 1" AF socket for the NRVs then a 17mm box spanner goes over the spindles. Whether they all still fit once the tile is stuck on for good and accumulative error raises it's head???
  3. I do something then think "Sh!t, could have done that better!" And then beat myself up about it.
  4. Armeg version:
  5. Is a Cavity Master type kit any good? A few different makes around. Sure mine is 127mm not 100mm...
  6. I think with Option 3 I'd be worried about creating cavities allowing condensation and or insect / vermin ingress.
  7. TP? https://www.travisperkins.co.uk/Softwood-Windowboard-Best-Pattern-S207-32mm-x-225mm-Finished-Size-28mm-x-215mm/p/155110
  8. Compound cuts? Tbh wishing I could do the corner again but hey ho! Should have probably bedded the mitre tile on a much thicker bed. It's just "wrong" imo And they said it was the plastering I'd cock up!
  9. Pretty good but there I would use cheap grab adhesive.
  10. In the words of Will Smith I decided to get jiggy with it. Anything to put of more tiling. WTF did I pick the most visible, awkward corner when I've never tiled a wall in my life? Main bits o/of scrap MDF plus some softwood edging, not sure how long that'll last! 40 & 65mm diamond grit hole saws from eBay. Was going to varnish it but me and my impulsive side... Tile dropped into the holder, jig plate dropped in. I can add holes to this piece for the hose outlet, basin feeds etc or just cut another MDF "tile": One of the smaller ones: For the 65mm dia one found it easier to fill the hole with water rather than pi$$ about trying to squirt it in: Jig plate removed: A quick rinse: The backside: I can do these to order, might take a while : I'll get away with this I reckon. @ProDave, I need to drill more holes in this tile don't I, between the big and small ones? Has anyone seen my cheapo Parkside set of diamond grit edged hole saws? Need a smaller size for the hose outlet!
  11. Option 2 and his wife's recipe for lemon ice cream!
  12. The "getting much worse" is I assume the brown stuff coming back up the sink?
  13. You can get woodgrain effect trims and cills though a bit pricier than white. You can get golden oak, rosewood, mahogany effect etc. Random link. Remind me what your worktop finish is. https://www.trulypvc.com/window-door-parts/board-sill-trims/window-board-cill-capping-cover-1.25m?
  14. Which is why I'll be running a separate 50mm waste with AAV!
  15. Kleenex?
  16. Post a picture? Knock the tabs back over?
  17. No. Bodger!
  18. You might have to drill out slightly the face plate / countersink a bit deeper if using M4 screws as the heads can be bigger than M3.5 electrical screws. Otherading tools are available: https://cpc.farnell.com/draper-tools/37924/rethreading-tool-m4-0-x-0-7/dp/TL04580 Crap pic but I Sharpie the back of the box if I do it so the next person is aware:
  19. Yes, white grout. Nothing happening tonight, so knackered I'll screw up something...else!
  20. First thing I thought of tbh! Easier when you're younger...
  21. Only come across 75mm here so far...will stop looking!
  22. The time approaches when I'm going to tile over this shower valve (not the best pic): I didn't use the tanking membrane tape over it but had planned on just keeping the adhesive bed say 1" away all around and leaving the bottom open as per @Nickfromwales instruction. Seeing though, where I've drawn on the rough tile position and where the top of that tile is makes me think I perhaps should have membraned over it? If nothing else it should stop the adhesive encroaching on the valve gubbins.
  23. Go back far enough and I think some were wired almost like a spider's web so every light had its own radial. There's specific regs in what you might term "spurs" off lighting circuit's. You musn't for instance take two outgoing cables from a rose meant to only have one.
  24. These aren't the ones I linked you are they? Seem more expensive than I paid. Thinking to get a few to help figure my "valve"issues. The point and shoot, cheapo, laser thermometer, I don't really rate tbh. Temp varies wildly according to how close you are to the object.
  25. OK
