  1. Could have been worse:
  2. I remember the that! The giant Hampton shadow looming as you showered!
  3. Lighting is usually referred to as a radial circuit not a spur. That is just fed one end that radiates out from the cu.
  4. A blank grommet with a carefully cut split, backed up by some silicon as above should suffice imo.
  5. And it's goodnight from him! Must get new glasses, the full tile 2nd in from the right, 3 up is slightly to the left at the mitre. Think I went wrong at the mosaic on the right. Didn't see it until too late! Reckon the bed is between 6 - 8mm on these tiles.
  6. Rubber grommet in the back of the lamp if you can/required say if through a metal fitting. BFO slug of silicon on the back of the light in a U shape, left open at the bottom. Screw lamp on wall. connect. Fyi you CAN get glands for T&E: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/TLTEG2.html
  7. Yeah I was looking at videos of it being done with an angle grinder. Started to make a little combined jig for the shower valve and hose outlet as the grit holesaws have no pilot drill.
  8. I guess so? 10mm notched spread horizontally on the wall then 10mm notched vertically on the tile. Think just this area will have used a 20kg bag. I've had to add 1mm shims to the 3mm spacers between the mosaics going up as they're a tad shorter than the grey tiles. Found I've too much left in the second mix but hadn't primed any more wall. Reckon my first half bag was about 9kg to 2.5l water as it was a little wet. 2nd mix was a bit stiffer with 2.5kg so was probably 11kg of adhesive. Just added a bit more water to get the consistency. Whacked some primer on and having a bit of grub whilst it goes tacky. Might even squeeze in an episode of Insatiable on Netflix! Shower valve / hose outlet ones next. A little worried I might have "stuck" my angles to the wall in places I need to drill out for the wall mount wc pan outlet. A series of 3mm holes with a tile drill?
  9. 10mm notched to give some leeway at the mitre. TF for grout!
  10. Went for the 10mm notched trowel. @Nickfromwales, how do I get the excess tile adhesive from between the grout lines NOW (still wet) so there's enough room later for the actual grout? Cheers
  11. Thought I might make a start...
  12. 4pm on a Sunday...work in the morning...
  13. It's about £50 per search I've been told! Makes me think I should maybe scan and Dropbox all mine.
  14. I think I've a load of 2391 past papers here too...somewhere...if I find them I'll send it all on.
  15. It's a doddle getting it on the ceiling imo. Making it look good is the art.
  16. Not to piss on your parade this early but I think STROMA require the 2391 (now 2394 & 5) to do EICRs. Could be wrong...
  17. Nick, took a chance on the email and just sent. Sorry, might be some repeats in there on the test papers. I'd start with the 17th Simulator which is an .exe file so assume you'll need a Windoze pc? This just to get a feel where you are.
  18. Nick, is that a 0 (zero) between first and surnames in your email address? Going to send you all I have on the 17th via Wetransfer inc the simulator. As I said this is AMD1 stuff doesn't cover renewables etc.
  19. Let me be the first to say welcome. The more knowledgeable will be along shortly with advice! A good chance you can visit builds incorporating the systems you're talking about. They're very friendly here! The more pictures/sketches of what you're proposing the better btw.
  20. Two "musts": Don't shag the neighbours missus / daughter Don't run over their cat/ dog
  21. Like this. Window sill is in fact that much wider than the sink. Done well should be no chance of water getting under the 3cm upstand or sill. And the white upvc will match the windows.
  22. Just throwing ideas around: Put a 30mm upvc cloaking profile along behind the sink bedded down on a bead of clear CT1 between the cloaking edge and worktop. Stuck to the pb with same. You could tape and fill the walls either side and do in bathroom paint. https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-PVCu-White-Cloaking-Profile-30-x-2500mm/p/162619 Then do the sill in a upvc capping board that would wrap over the 3cm upstand. For example, different widths available: https://www.trulypvc.com/window-door-parts/board-sill-trims/window-board-cill-capping-cover-1.25m? Waterproof, easy wipe etc. But is the upstand 3cm? Earlier you said 3-4cm...
  23. Such a shame as looks a nice job from the pics.
  24. Yeah, I SO need another double garage!
