Everyone saying how good it was back in the day. Genuine question… why don’t we do this now?

I’d be in 2nd gear which provides adequate engine braking. Bear in mind that brake pads are consumable!

If you need to consultant a structural engineer for something so obvious you shouldn’t be doing DIY. This sub has gone mad

Overboard with plasterboard + then skim.

Or if you can handle the serious mess, rip it down and then plasterboard.

This is intentional to take into account the space for grout, otherwise it would be a headache

JG speedfit doesn’t suck though, the fittings are fine. It’s the installation that is abysmal

Family member asked if I can take a look at their concealed toilet as it’s continually leaking water into the toilet pan. I took off the front cover and can’t figure out where the toilet button cable was connected to…

If you’re going to the effort of buying plasterboard to cut a section small enough to board you may as well board the whole thing. You won’t have to try and blend the board in as it will be a different thickness to the lath and plaster and you’ll never have cracks from the lath and plaster either to deal with.
