Quality of Wickes 60% off Laminate Floor?
Onoff replied to Ferdinand's topic in Wood & Laminate Flooring
My niece's mate worked at Wickes so used her staff discount on some click together own brand flooring for her. The "wood" layer is so thin they might have well as stuck Rizlas to the underlying MDF or whatever it is. Lifting all over the place. It'd never take a stiff broom let alone sanding to refinish!- 18 replies

The American lads on their solar home brew scene tend to build a BFO storage tank themselves often in their basements or at the "rear" of the house. Often this is a wooden frame with an EPDM liner and up to 300mm of "poly iso" or EPS all round. Home wound copper heat exchange coils feature quite often too. This tank is used for DHW primarily and excess for UFH but sometimes simple ducted warm air space heating. Different strokes!

Good decision. Enjoy!

I have to drill a hole for the 32mm fitting to miss all the Geberit threaded rod flush gubbins but as I've never fitted a flush plate before a bit tentative.....

Bath Surround / Boxing In, and concealed pipework
Onoff replied to Onoff's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
The soil pipe bulges out past the stud line a tad! EDIT: Guessing you knew that! OK, so I rip whatever and screw that to the face of the existing studs. The Aquapanel would then "bridge" the gap? I could maybe get some triangular shaped wedges, screwed in from the top, in there for more support if I cut some foam away? -

I've run mine the complete length (25mm in 63mm pipe). I'd say it's daft not to under a slab. Primarily did mine in duct because of sharp flints everywhere.

Depending on which way the joists run you could do a stepped service void along one wall.

I'm going to yes please, I'll take them if you're sure? They'll easily fit in the car with the seats down. I'm so glad I kept that roll of giant bubble wrap though i did use a bit for someone else on here the other day! Do you want to pm me a contact number? Cheers

Would they fit in the back of a Focus Estate?

Tempting if I had a truck! You're 70/80 miles from me. How big are they btw?

Here's a thought(s).... Hire a crusher and grade the rocks then fill feature wire gabions? Crush the rock smaller and fill feature beds. It would be very in keeping with the locale. Weigh up crusher hire vs skips. Or just pile them up in a corner of the garden whilst you decide. A passer by may make an offer for the lot! Again that is really nice stone! Granite?

And continuing the mad musing after a beer and armed with a craft knife & pair of scissors: The "clip fin" design solar thermal panel is where black painted aluminium (or ideally copper) fins are attached to a copper pipe matrix to heat water. With ali it's important they are held tight to the copper. Yes, I know you can buy them (or at least could) and tbh they should be thicker sheet......but.....A 440ml Fosters can yields a nice piece of aluminium. I think about 0.25mm thick: Add a pipe clip as a former and run it up and down: Looks like a clip fin to me: Except it springs out of shape when you take the clips off: However.....the metal is so thin I reckon you could stick it to foil backed PIR with foil tape to keep the shape? Or maybe make a full length clip out of something?

Darn sarf that last one would sell for a fortune in the garden centres!

You can get concrete stains that are applied AFTER you've laid the stuff. Meant I think for freshening up old faded stuff. If you've only just done the job why not try to restain a patch now? Any sealer you apply will of course limit how well stain will work later on should you wish to re-apply. I've used Everbuild toner and Thompson's Water Seal before. We love pictures by the way!
