Onoff

I showed that to SWMBO. Explained there's most likely no phone signal there so she won't be able to talk to me about "her day" for a while...

I suppose the terrain up there must breed a communal respect. Down here the things would be shat in, torched or squatted in.

Never heard of the term. Reminds me of the stone shelters out in NZ. The workers built them as they carved out the Taieri Gorge Railway and they're still there today.

That board above the door is on with Sticks Like Sh!t as I've had a tube lying around for ages and wanted to save the Sikaflex.

I'm my defence as well as having had a glass of wine, SWMBO was "hovering" as they do, telling me about her day and putting me off!

Aquapanel is much stronger I'd say from the different areas I've done in each here. Don't forget it needs special Knauf screws.

Good to know. More tanking!

SWMBO wants this cupboard primarily for a SQUARE laundry basket. FFS the door will be shut on it 99.9% of the time. She's spent ages finding the correct one. Still, I'll get to indulge myself with the st/st lined, stacking bog roll store / dispenser hidden in the wall! Got to re-jig the 15mm copper that was the original mains in but will now be the feed to the Geberit wc. Will have to rethink the downlight I was having in the cupboard on a door switch. It'll drive me nuts having it off centre but I can't anyway now as be too close to the joist above. Two's going to be ott. PPPPPP! Still, makes a bloody good home for the drills. Can't see that lasting

What's the deal with Aquapanel being a problem? That's what I've got sitting here waiting to go on. Do plan on fully tanking it though.

Cheers. You wait until I start trying to plaster, you'll feel like @Nickfromwales when I ask about plumbing!

Barstewards the lot of you! Don't jest, I'm new at this. I'll blindly do as I'm told like @recoveringacademic!

Yeah, I've slowly come round to the @Nickfromwales idea that more is better and screws are cheap. I'm doing 100mm centres now. Can always add more!

I know I could Google it but what traditionally is a bothie? Portable? On wheels? A Scots thing only? How far from the next one? I could really take to somewhere like that!

I'm still mulling grafting the front and of the mains Parkside to a Makita cordless body...

Another glass and I'm getting into this:

I'll try and do better on the bit underneath! 41mm..'coz they were CHEAP in Lidl. Got boxes of 'em.

Too much money on here! Down in the cheap seats...Parkside...doesn't miss a beat! Don't go mad & lubricate with this; Co-op cheapest:

Can't imagine there's anything untoward. I'm sure too that English is Mr Jayasinghe Arachchige Isuru Bhagya De Silva's first language. https://suite.endole.co.uk/insight/company/08489835-shelter-4-green-deal-limited?page=overview

If you've got an alternative shower room etc you can gut the bathroom completely and take YEARS doing it really nicely....

Like a Japanese vibe going on there!

I will admit to using it on occasion as a quick fix... This was mid kitchen refit and this original switch position is long gone anyway. Weird breeze blocks in the walls that have huge "hollows" in them. For the 47mm back box here I just pumped in mortar and cheated with curly wurlys! Needs must...

Euphemism?

A bit ott for one short chase in your case but why not! Small trowel I'd use. Just make sure you wash the gun out scrupulously afterwards.

Mortar gun works a treat for pumping muck into a chase. Leaves a nice ribbed finish for the plaster to key to. Tbh this whole corner block, render & plaster was so live the conduit served to keep it there! Chased with a multitool.

I was kidding about the foam!
