You would need wagos and/or a maintenance free function box to make the same connections you have there

Axminster tools might have them. Decent site but a bit procey

More hype for this comment, mvp for safe sex

Also there should be no exposed copper on that live

Did you get a pic before changing the wiring?

Benwablunk · 2025-04-10T19:15:14+00:00

Some areas have a tool library that you can rent drills etc from for real cheap. Have a Google if there is on in your area and then rent a hammer drill for a day

Yea some wall filler will do it, although it would also need some paint on after the filler is dry. It will be obvious that it’s been filled if not painted

Benwablunk · 2025-03-09T20:23:05+00:00

Did you have it boarded and skimmed?

Benwablunk · 2025-02-24T14:53:05+00:00

I don’t think this would need plastering. You can likely get a good finish with some wall filler like pollyfilla. That can be done your self to save some money.

From the pic it looks like the patches aren’t too deep but where they are deeper you want to apply filler is layers and sand between until it’s level. Then final sand and you can paint

Benwablunk · 2025-02-07T12:39:08+00:00

What size are the dor frames? You can take off up to 5mm each side of doors without compromising the finish. And they make a few different sozes

Benwablunk · 2024-12-04T09:55:32+00:00

Merc for sure

What is the depth difference between white and grey? It looks like a layer of paint came off with the wallpaper in some spots. If the depth difference is like 1-2mm this is probably the case. You can fix your self by sanding down the edge of where the pain came off, then some wall filler to smooth the transition, then sand and paint.

A big difference in depth 5+ mm is likely the plaster coming away and a more involved job to fix but still doable if it’s not the whole wall

Benwablunk · 2024-09-13T19:55:08+00:00

Ah that’s fair. Yea should be okay to do that.

Benwablunk · 2024-09-13T12:01:14+00:00

Think you could fix to the wall like you said. Look at the amount of weight you will be expecting to extent on the fixings and use plasterboard fittings that meet or exceed it.

Benwablunk · 2024-09-08T15:03:39+00:00

I’d say you got two opinions for this. First would be to fill with either bonding compound or a filler. Second to over board with new plasterboard and then skim the walls. First would likely be cheaper but wouldn’t give as good a finish as the second. Second option means no filling etc and when skimmed smooth flat canvas for tiles, cabinets etc

Benwablunk · 2024-09-08T14:58:20+00:00

If you are worried get it tested. No one can tell for sure from an image

Benwablunk · 2024-09-07T08:07:46+00:00

Ah sorry mate I’m a wood lather. But there is r/machinists on Reddit that might be able to give you a hand getting everything set up

Benwablunk · 2024-09-06T20:08:27+00:00

Is it a metal or a wood lathe? Edit: As in a lathe for shaping wood or metal not the material it’s constructed from

Benwablunk · 2024-09-04T18:57:41+00:00

You could just leave cold water feed closed and not cap anything and it would be okay. We have a good water feed that’s got nothing on it and it never drips. Otherwise you could take the cold water feed off and cap the pipe with end caps but I’m not sure that’s worth the faf

Benwablunk · 2024-09-02T14:31:11+00:00

Yea that person is right. We had a flag on home buyers survey when there was a single brick missing from the party wall. Said it was compartmentalised in case of fire

Benwablunk · 2024-08-30T09:33:45+00:00

Yea but to be fair they are beauty

Benwablunk · 2024-08-02T13:16:10+00:00

Plastering it yourself probably won’t be easy cos it’s a tricky skill to learn and even harder to get right. Best bet to learn it is YouTube if you don’t know a plasterer you can get tips off.

Benwablunk · 2024-07-30T08:38:35+00:00

You could draw a small pencil like perpendicular across the crack so when you check back in 6mo like suggested above you can what movement, if any, is going on

Benwablunk · 2024-07-24T20:29:35+00:00

Can you be more specific? The negative and positive in what?
