  1. Seems a pity to cover the lettering up really! Goop of choice would be Sika EBT but it's bloody expensive even on the Bay. Was looking at the £1 a tube stuff in T'station the other day. https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p51064 Reading the small print though and you need to prime with PVA etc. How out of date can Sikaflex be? https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sika-Sikaflex-EBT-WHITE-Box-of-12-x-300ml-Tubes-Complete-Box/162941783342?
  2. http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/about-the-appliance-industry/manufacturer-information/3560-logik-appliances Would it not be better to maybe look for a graded appliance but a better make?
  3. I might change the arms now from plastic to sheet steel...
  4. Once I've made the scissor lift you're more than welcome to "have a go" on it.
  5. "Most people"
  6. Bought one sheet of 25mm at Wickes... £30!!!
  7. I'd buy an Evolution for the same money tbh. At least you could cut metal too. https://www.screwfix.com/p/evolution-r210sms-210mm-single-bevel-sliding-compound-mitre-saw-230v/2965v
  8. @Yzzy, when you find one of these you can get the skirt: https://www.redbubble.com/people/redilion/works/12675737-i-believe-in-the-cockamouse?p=pencil-skirt

  10. Funnily enough... The little 'un wants a hamster. Everytime she asks I suggest putting a glass panel in the suspended timber floor downstairs so she can watch the rats! But I won't be doing it!
  11. Yep. Why? Why not? I like the idea of a flush mounted rainfall head but for easy access to clean lower would be better. Was mulling over a flow switch so as the rainfall shower kicks in it self lowers. Then a secondary "cleaning" button when you can drop it without getting wet! Can I rather than should I as usual...
  12. Well this cut Aqua Panel is hairier than a plumber's bum... Nothing a quick haircut won't sort though. Thought I'd do the easy one first. Have tried to ensure edges overlap the best way possible in case water does get through: The bottom "shelf" bit will overhang the panel underneath: The soffit section with have the wall piece come down over it: The sides: The back panel will get secured to the sides with a continuous batten: All loose at the mo. Not sure whether to Sikaflex all the panel to panel joints when I screw it in place?
  13. The Makro circular saw bought years ago and used once then abandoned seems to cut nice. Must remember to turn the board over though as it's lifting the fibres from the good face this way! For trimming the strips to length I'm going to fit this diamond blade to the Evolution chop saw: Kicking myself actually as Screwfix had a Rage 3 without blade for £56 +VAT the other day on the trade counter! I could have one for wood and one for tiles going!
  14. Cheers. So I could ditch the branch for a 90deg bend laid on it's side and that would be OK? Why is a branch such a stalling point, does "stuff" get thrown into the unused branch and compacted? Or is it not enough of a sweep? If that's the case a normal 90 is no good either! So for clarification the 112.5 branch in it's side could cause a "log jam"? It's approx 1.5m from the aav stack.
  15. Very impressed by Sunamp's open approach and honesty. Let's face it you'd be happy dealing with them just on that.
  16. I think you all wait until @Construction Channel does his concrete counter tops then copy him! :)
  17. Great tip!
  18. 25mm EPS vs 25mm PIR: The approx thermal conductivity is .038W/mK for the EPS & .023W/mK for the PIR. Is it really as simple as the PIR is nearly twice as good as the EPS at this thickness?
  19. In the unlikely event of a leak on the bent copper, the shower valve or even the straight copper I'm thinking maybe I should pressure test this pipework before encasing it all in insulation/spray foam? Bloody nightmare as to get the "quad cranked" pipe in after insulating the wall is impossible.
  20. Its sensible to talk about things you'd like to do.You've got to have a dream. If you don't have a dream how are you going to have a dream come true?
  21. Thick wall pipe insulation on the 15mm pipes will fill up a bit more of the void... Still not sure whether it's worth spraying the rest of that uneven wall with contact adhesive and applying foil before the gun foam?
  22. Packing this corner out with EPS /PIR is driving me nuts! By the time I put the bare minimum of 25mm insulation behind the pockets there'll just be a load of awkward rectangular holes to fill up. They're also different depths. So...I've already thought Sod it and gone mad with the foam gun in the corner. I was thinking then just by a box of 12 gun foam from Toolstation for £50. Poor man's Icynene? A sheet of 25mm pir from Wickes is £33. I could stick some tin foil to the wall with spray adhesive before the foam. Thoughts? Cheers
  23. It'll be the Kent pikey genes we share with Orlando Bloom!
