Onoff

I first saw window fitters use it. See this bit of trim I've fitted to a freebie 2G door I scored. The trim covers the slightly ragged edge where the walls been cut out for the upvc frame. WITHOUT the trim (bit I'm pointing to) you spray activator up the height of the door. You run a bead of glue up the back of the trim piece and push on. Instantly stuck. @Nickfromwales reckons it for sticking tile trims on too. And kitchen cornice too:

Mitre bond is a 2-part glue and imo far superior to the little tubes/bottles. I've NEVER in my life has any success with traditional one component superglue but the mitre bond is magic. Like this: https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-mitre-adhesive-200ml/41795? Careful that if sticking upvc trim you get one that won't "yellow". I first got the one above then another make...this one I think: https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p47409? Claggy I thought was a term coined by Sarah Millican whuch I'd rather not dwell on!

How about something less chunky...and cheaper! https://www.wholesaledomestic.com/hudson-reed-ultra-thin-fixed-shower-head-head47

Don't forget to tape / cap the ends! Cant remember if I squashed mine flat and duct taped or gun foamed it.

Not my idea. It was Nick or Peter's. In fact I think it was Peter sent me the sensor?

Could you not run your sensor ducts to the furthest possible point they can feasibly go but route them via points where they MIGHT be better. Then, knowing the run length, you can just pull them back as required.

The times I've thought exactly that! Mind there's probably a few on here wish I hadn't!

Should I be trying to leave the window open during the day to help dry this plaster out fully? Not much airflow in the room otherwise, just a few draughts from the holes in the ceiling. I've also left the raised floor in there thinking it'll assist when painting the ceiling. The floor boards are though quite (very?) damp. Maybe take them up and just paint off steps etc? I could then regain use of the bath & clean up the floor then think about tanking...

You're late to the party, some other wag has done than one before I'm sure. Feel free to wade through and find it!

OK. Can the one drain cope with the run off? There's given litres per minute that a certain size rain water outlet can handle. A given roof area requires "X" drainage capability. Was yours properly designed or done ad hoc etc. I've seen roofs leak where the drain can't cope and there's a poor detail where the roof membrane interfaces with the rwo. It can then track miles under the waterproof layer and appear inside the building nowhere near the drain. Or it runs along services in a suspended ceiling etc.

Possibly but I'm debating getting some bricks in so we can build the front gate pillars together!

I like the idea of renaming it on the bathroom restoration lines! Lots of good info in my main thread covering many subjects I appreciate. Maybe it should have been a blog from day one? These things tend to grow when you have only a vague plan and keep adding bits and changing your mind as you go!

Painting the ceiling's a 5 minute job in comparison to the floor tiles. Girl had the first bath, boy's having the first shower, I'm christening the loo and SWMBO gets to clean them all!

Dunno, once you have walls, a ceiling and floor it speeds up a bit I suppose. The fact I've renewed all of them... The plan always was to learn from this one room. Floor next anyway starting at the wet room corner and working back!

I've always fancied hairdressing, paramedic or geneticist as an alternative career...

I was the same build at his age. Ribs like a xylophone! It's the curvature of the spine from the hours hunched over a keyboard I worry about! He's a cider not beer man.

What is about that scene? I remember the then girlfriend was mad for it after seeing that. Or was she just imagining I was TC or Val Kilmer?

Gets it from his Mum! We do have rellies in Pennsylvania come to think off it, Hamburg etc. All a bit Allahu Akbar for me! I just look like Harry & The Hendersons if I let mine grow. It's a very grey shade of grey...

I'll limit myself to one of each. Had I posted a gut shot earlier you'd have realised why!

First I scrounged one off the left pile. Then I said to my daughter "Your brother let me have one of his...".

Sorry for your loss! Plenty to be taking your mind off things though. This pond...is a water source heat pump an option? Tbh I just want to see someone do one!

8oz srf 4oz butter 3oz castor sugar 4oz mixed fruit 1tsp mixed spice 2-4tsp milk 15-20mins @ 200degC CofT is a "tartrate of potassium" apparently. Proprietary plaster retarder contains it at 40% and is the only active ingredient. Going to make MYSELF a bfo traditional fruit cake sometime...with nuts on top...

Was quite a bit tbh! Better than not enough.

No pie forthcoming so I made rock cakes...one lot sans the mixed fruit for SWMBO and daughter!

But I want to get the door frame & door in...until I know ffl exactly, dictated by the floor tiles when done I can't put the frame in. Can I? I suppose I could put the frame and door in then floor tile up close to the frame and multitool the frame either side? Obviously I'd take the door off to trim it.
