  1. I quite like this type: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/KBSK003.html?
  2. Leave the can on. Make sure the valve at the rear is screwed fully in i.e. closed. Sometimes foam dries around the nozzle - you will see the little ball bearing in the very end. You can clean the nozzle up of dried foam with a pan scourer as linked for the mice, or a chunk of wire wool. Sometimes necessary to get the very tip of a Stanley blade around the ball bearing to GENTLY clear dried foam. Don't go mad and score the ball bearing or it might leak.
  3. CPC then: https://cpc.farnell.com/brennenstuhl/1396203003/tower-power-table-extension/dp/PL15780?
  4. ...maybe get a chippy in? Just think of the brownie points you'll get for this!
  5. That's £17 inc VAT now at Machine Mart.
  6. You could make it flush maybe, easy enough in solid wood, incorporate a drainage channel etc. Still be a crumb trap!
  7. Very nice until you spill something on the worktop!
  8. I considered it for ST panels and EDPM was my first thought but thinking under the panels might get too hot?
  9. CT1 Power Grab "n" Bond?
  10. I prefer the look of the S-Box kit:
  11. I've considered similar myself.
  12. Like I said...but so quick!
  13. So if you back butter the tile you use the FLAT edge of the trowel? I used the notched edge on the floor then again the notched to back butter the tile but at 90o to the floor. ???
  14. Won't be so funny when we're too old to fix the decrepit, freezing house and living in one room.
  15. No argument from me. SWMBO won't hear of it due to £££. Would rather splurge cash on takeaways and tat rather than improving the fabric of the house and cutting fuel costs.
  16. That's currently the indicator we have a problem, that and the upstairs wc level rising / going slow. Then it's drain rod and if I'm really lucky shovel time!
  17. I was intending to stop the bath and wall drain wastes just above a grate on the drain so the backing up soil run won't affect either.
  18. Not ideal but if I separate the waste like I was going to then if thinks back up I can still use the shower and just divert over the garden temporarily whilst I sort the soil run out...
  19. Erm.....suitably admonished.....that's saved me a few quid maybe. It would be nice I'll admit and neater to lose that waste run in the loft.The reason for doing it all separate is that that clay run goes into a giant, bottomless, cess pit (still yet to locate) that's been known to back up. Is my fear of it backing up and affecting the upstairs basin and shower, especially if the traps dry out, irrational?
  20. That's it, draw me into making sexist comments! Joking aside it's scientifically proven that women's feet are smaller so they can get closer to the sink etc. Handy when considering cupboard depths and worktop overhangs...
  21. Let's be honest here, if there's women involved then the thing needs to be on lockable castors so SHE can move it that fraction to the left / right later on. As even though she agreed on the position, took photos to prove it and signed in blood she didn't really want it where you bolted it down!
  22. Piece of black bin liner with the rings marked in white paint / Tippex makes for a very effective mock up hob:
  23. Got a picture(s)? Any earth stud, tapped hole or spot welded 1/4" blade in the rose?
  24. You're scaring me now as I didn't butter the wet room corner tiles!
