  1. Just realised the batteries are still at my mate's house!
  2. I'll have trouble if there's no leccy = no router = no interweb here! 😂
  3. It's like a very dangerous assault course in there!
  4. When I find where I put it, connect it up etc I'll let you know! Oh I hoard, it's like a disease. Probably why one of the kids is special. Down to 1m2 of floor space in the double garage now.
  5. Yes. Best applied from a hawk with a small trowel. Force it in, overfill a bit & when it's going off but not gone off, rub it level with the original reveal using a bit of sawn timber. Like 4"x2"x1/2" thick.
  6. Waterproof PVA is better. Tbh use some PVA wood glue if desperate. Mix 5:1 as the liquid for the cement mix. Getting the right consistency is the key.
  7. Mix up some 4 or 5:1 builders sand / cement with waterproofer in and render it. Try and match the pattern as best as by stippling with a paint brush or something. Paint to match. That's what most normal people would do. I can hear you whining now that you can't get it to stick! 😂
  8. " You sh!t on floor, ,€50 fine... each time!"
  9. Until the next window then!
  10. Bridging packers they are. They should just snap in and stay there. How many have you got?
  11. This is the scraper I rate. Bought from the local motor factors:
  12. I genuinely found the No Nonsense Silicone Remover from Screwfix pretty good. Leave to soften them take off with a blade like the above. C-Tec Multisolve to finish off. Quite impressed too with the heavy duty Big Wipes that come in the yellow tub with red lid.
  13. Getting quite a crop of runners. I think the neem oil is having some repellent effect as I've some nice beans. Some however are a bit chewed/diseased/infested. Should I pick and discard these or leave in the hope that whatever pest/predator carries on with those and leaves the others alone?
  14. Indeed, as @joe90 says, short ones in first then the long. Ask me how I know? Especially on say a fanlight like this, there's just not enough flex in the short trim. It was then I found how useful a sharp chisel is for removing trims!
  15. Erm no... This is a face drained set up: This is @zoothorn's window. The arrows point to the face drains, though my crap arrows are obscuring them maybe. Look at the original photo on page 4. It's face drained.
  16. The cover plates clip into the slots you can see? He must have them lying loose somewhere. @Tempput up typical pics on page 3.
  17. It's face drained see the picture on page 4.
  18. Like this?
  19. Multitool?
  20. Is that a huge issue if the losses are within the thermal envelope?
  21. No need for @Onoff or @joe90 to reply then! 😂
  22. Do they really make great chips?
  23. I thought all yours came in bottles especially flown in?
  24. There are also window fixing cleats you can get that clip or screw into the outside edge of the frame, then get screwed to the block / brickwork, like this:
