Came across these beasts today https://www.bespoakinteriors.co.uk/shop/hardware/heavy-duty-floating-shelf-brackets/

I've used the small Rigifix fixing which better/more complicated* design in this style for dot and dab on brick. They are very solid and I will use in future for shelves heavy objects/Floating shelves. The large version (M8) is only 100mm long which you would probably consider borderline for pb + batten. *delete as applicable

Thanks, I won’t bother and then post the same thing next year by which time I won’t have cleaned my car for 18 months ?

? borrow one off someone willing to tie up thousands of pounds of capital in tools they only use once or twice a year. Seriously we’re all doing this very very wrong. ?

I would like a jet washer but I’m not going to pay that much for a novelty item. I’ll wait for the next German supermarket jumble sale.

Anyone used Agnews diy timber packs? Wood skt and arc I need is better priced than most mdf options I’ve found. Lambs tongue ?‍♂️ 119mm and 68mm respectively. Found some really, really cheap mdf but don’t think they deliver this way.

bump for trims between wooden and tile floors between 3-15mm level difference.

A line barrier to stop the water tracking along the ceiling and making it drip off (if there are significant enough amounts). Unless you're now 100% sure the source of entry.

do you need some drip flanges on the ceiling to isolate where it is coming from and going to ?

At least they have architraves.

700? Pfft... Hold my beer.

cheap mitre saw - stock levels look ok atm https://www.diy.com/departments/performance-power-1500w-240v-210mm-sliding-mitre-saw-bms210m/1701056_BQ.prd for people who don't care about accuracy (i.e. me)

I'm doing this wrong, very wrong. I will soon have 50,000 amex points, a smattering of Virgin points from 4 individuals transatlantic flights and about the same in emirates points from 2 Asian flights. What is the point of these worthless points?

Some bargains in my local Aldi today worth trying yours if you are passing. They must be have a clear out. Amongst others: 4 remote control plug sockets £17.49 to £2.49 Sharpening Station £14.99 to £3.99 12v dril £22.99 to £7.99

And now bust.

Doesn’t say much when it has been posited on here a few times that we, as householders, get dodgy tradesmen because the ‘good’ ones work for developers

But most people slated the architect and ‘trickle down’, lol.

Interesting how we all display our prejudices so openly. For the avoidance of doubt, the client gets not even a shred of sympathy from me pure on the basis of what he does to steal a living.

That should be on T-shirts

Er... cable rods?

Best thing we did when we lived in a very very cold house. We still use it in our normal temperature (I.e. cool) house now. Could put it on a timer so you don’t forget.

Thanks. The current fitting is that configuration but only 3 lamps not 5 and they are much smaller lamps. We have a 3 lamp Ikea Basisk elsewhere in the house and are considering using something like that. The lamps do face down but can be angled away from a direct shine.

I have a room approx 3x3m ceiling 2.4m high. It has a single central light fitting. This has 3 mini globe 5w LED bulbs. The room is east facing and struggle for natural light but it also used when it is dark. Whilst the current light fitting is more than adequate for normal use, it is not bright enough for my wife to use for work. She offers a variety of treatments. For the really fiddly stuff she uses a magnifying led light visor but for more general stuff the room light is not bright enough. Her clients will often be laying down looking at the ceiling (and light) She needs a simple retrofit light fitting that is quite a bit brighter than the current one that does not blind her clients but doesn’t want to turn what is supposed to a relaxed environment into a dental examination room. I have looked at retrofit LED single panel lights in the order of 24W but am unsure if it will be both, not bright enough for the whole room and too bright for the person lying down. A freestanding light would be a PITA but some wall mounted uplights might be possible (with trailing wall wires). what sort of lighting should I be looking for?
