  1. Not hopeful of getting a spare glass top if I drop something on my Electra Elecheib induction hob. I guess that's the problem with these well known makes!
  2. Stainless trim to hide it?
  3. We're they tested or just failed when you tried to nut them up? We use a rig like this:
  4. Safety harness points, abseil points, safety wire systems.....
  5. We use this at work for man riding applications, Fischer FIS V 360 S: The piggy back cartridge is imo superior to the standard mastic gun type.
  6. Tbh out of all I've used I used to find the Rawlplug catalogue easiest to navigate. Helpline was good too. Nowadays I use Fischer but that's only on the back of work and I can score the odd slightly out of date tube as we daren't use it for our man riding applications. I helped somebody a while bavk and they were using DeWalt stuff. Nowhere near as good as Fischer imo.
  7. I found digging /lifting with a fine tool between the fins and vacuuming around the heatsink worked best. I did take the back off the old 42" tv the other week and got the compressor and a brush on that. Amazing how much "sticks" and has to be helped with the brush.
  8. Worth cleaning the accumulated dust from between the heatsink fins above the CPU if getting into an old pc. Often it's so fine and compact it's easily missed. Toothpick etc is pretty good for digging it out. Things can start getting hot and shutting down for no apparent reason.
  9. Two wheel barrow wheels etc & diy one.
  10. Raise a "Stage 1 Complaint" (based on incompetence) against the council for quoting the wrong information etc and the stress it's caused you etc. Their internal mechanism kicks in by default and fur flies. Successfully done it myself with advice from my barrister brother.
  11. We used to happily shift 6m long 178x102x19kgm I beams around roofs between two of us. Around 254x146x37 and we would just design around 3m lengths Probably explains my disc problems now! Why I only carry one 25kg test weight at a time now. If 4 of you lifting it can pay to use 2 strops with one of you either side each end. Sometimes we would use a beam trolley: http://www.bakerfabrication.co.uk/beam-dolly/4567731201
  12. Might have been my place as the smells still there when something dies under my floor!
  13. Many years ago it was nicknamed Bidonville (shanty town). That only applies to my plot now!
  14. Try it of a weekend, packs of the morons clogging the road up and not wanting to pull over.
  15. Erm.....no, not really. Still got to cast the wet room corner, do the mitred corner boxing in and the pockets, fit the shower...... I was joking to the missus (as we drove past St Michael's prep school) that most round here probably pay £600 per square metre for their bathroom tiles!
  16. I can't believe nobody spotted the deliberate mistake when I posted up this photo of the model previous! Anyway...Union Jack cuts in 330x330x8mm ceramic floor tiles. On a loser? Possible? I can probably get some water jet cutting done.
  17. £600 on tiles last night. Walls, floor & mosaics.
  18. Every time I have a good idea someone nicks it!
  19. Descent as in lowering the tone, bringing people down to his level...
  20. No that's downstairs, building paper on concrete. I think she's safe.
  21. I don't differentiate between my kids when it comes to DIY. Both are quicker than me!
  22. I was using a pair. Not bad but would crap out on occasion whilst my boy, in the same room but plugged into the one working Ethernet port was happily online. Now ditched in favour of an 8-port switch and I've livened up all the Ethernet ports in the room (at last ) Much more reliable.
  23. By all means, Ed picked up the first faux pas!
