Do have another question now . I’m on the bathroom and it’s width is less than a length of plasterboard . I presume I don’t stagger the board ? - no point is there ? For the mvhr vent I’ll do a seperate piece , not worth attempting to get the hole in the correct place on an almost full sheet of plasterboard ( success rate near 0 )

Yes - I think it’s pretty much any board . I did think it would crush the plasterboard- but not a dent .Makes life a lot easier !

Got one of these . I can see lots of potential accidents with this ?

Not needed this until now . 10 sheets of moisture resistant arrived today . The driver had to hold the van door open so I could unload ( lazy git ) Anyway , they are pretty heavy and I now have to carry them in . Remembered a random eBay purchase of a carry handle for this type of thing . Works really well ! Recommended !!

Just to show it is possible for me to do ... I swept the floor here But not here Biscuit Can I ask admin to PM me how I makes donation ( yes , I am being serious ) ??

Wish there was a ‘bastard’ emoji

The builder has now asked for 4,000 pounds for the alteration . i am now screwed . Also he say that the build is 500mm to low . he said 29,000 to raise build . i know not what to do . i confront him . He get funny about the 33k I haggle , we agree on 25k i now must make savings . i will do no more plasterboarding to save money I like the beams and roof visible

What !!! I was here at 8:30 ! Took 2 hours a right pain . Access was the issue ( the timber work bodge above it is rather Frankenstein’s monster ) Anyway you are not allowed to reply as your response wasn’t constructive. Do you get pleasure in your criticism? Why weren’t you more helpful and come round and do it for me ? Why do you pick on me and mention my ‘fuss’ ? . Why belittle me and not offer help ? Do you think you look big and clever now ? I only ask for help yet you mock me and make me change it . ???????????????

Right ! I’m going to take a ‘z’ attitude ? Don’t bother replying unless you have something constructive to say or come round and actually do it for me . Don’t comment because you want a like or a thanks . Admins job is to know everything and give 100% accurate advice for free . ??????

Said the vicar to the nun

What’s worrying is you found that link ! My friend ( he’s also doing plasterboarding - do you know who ? ) wants extra , extra , extra , tiny , small

Can you 3D print a butt plug ? Asking for a friend .

The problem is it’s a pig to move . Access is all from in the ensuite . I’ll move it tomorrow!! . GITs !

Leave your hole alone!

You probably could! Can you make it all elaborate and fancy so SWMBO thinks it's mega and 'custom' !!?

Oh ffs ! There aren’t any rimless ones ! It was a pig to get in because the access to move it was only available from inside the ensuite hence the positioning ! @Mr Punter gets the blame again ! . It was fine where it was before for a vent cover ! ???

Yeah - I said that ? It won’t fit . So ! I might cheat . The ‘cap’ fits in the mvhr pipe with no over hang so I could use that with some holes drilled in SWMBO will never know ! . Or see if ‘rimless’ ones exist ....

I’ll say you did it !

I’m sure he will . I think every plasterer I’ve met moans . Even with a completely clear wall that just needs skimming . I think they only like easy jobs ...

Ensuite done . Used twice as much plasterboard as I should and 1000% screws more than necessary . Do I or the plasterer fill gaps etc. tape joints ? . I assume I leave it now for a professional to sort . Before anyone says - the mvhr vent is on the piss ( but I can cut flush ) - though the vent cover will be an issue as it will be trying to sit on horizontal and angled ceiling ( blame @Mr Punter for making me move it )

Sigh ! Removing screws ..... ? Nah !

Yep it will be nas 2 a copy of essential files from nas 1

My penny advice whether plasterboard/ timber - anything . You can never have too many screws in . If in doubt add more . If still not sure add some screws . Not confident yet ? - perhaps it needs more screws . @PeterW that’s exactly the type of professional curve I’d like !

Was going to have 4 drives as shr - as it allows a failed drive to be replaced with any capacity drive . Drive 5 will just be nvr ; no raid . Any important video stuff I would copy off to the raid anyway . Of course for our younger viewers ... “A raid nas is not an alternative to a proper backup feature “ . I’ll probably copy valuable data off the raid to another raid drive ( cheap 1tb type thing )or usb drive . In turn will all copy off to a usb stick . So to lose everything would require 4 drives to fail in nas 1 . 2 drives to fail on nas 2 , usb drive to fail . Usb stick to fail ??

V 2 ?
