jack Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I'm convinced it's an attention span thing. I can focus on a single boring task for hours if I have to but my missus just can't do it. Interesting your wife noticed the improvement in the doors @JSHarris. That seems to suggest that she was actually aware she was doing a poor job!

Onoff Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 I just hate to see good materials poorly utilised. She's more than happy with what I do just goes on about how long I take. I just hope when the bathroom is done she'll see I was right all along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) I mean just look! Whatever possessed her to paint this? Tbh the 27mm insulated plasterboard I have left over from lining the main bathroom window reveal would be too thick.

Onoff Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Replaced another rotten timber window over the weekend with a generic 28mm DG panel that I had made to fit the gap. (Non opener; internally beaded, cw sill and end caps £75). Put it this way, it's better than what was there! In a 9" block wall. I used some "compriband" around all 4 sides for a start. Then wedges, 10mm window fixings and foam. Followed up with a bit of shuttering mitre bonded to the protection tape and rendered the sides and under the sill. (Need a bit of "asbestolux" on that flue cage still). At the top...should I try and form some sort of angled lip?

ProDave Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 At the top you can get a proper angle piece to form a drip bead. Was that window £75 including the glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would then hold a new fillet of render. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
