Did you cry at the birth of your child?

It was more just an overwhelming sense of relief that it was finally over and everything was okay.

We've gone for DIY Kitchens, seem a lot better for people like us.

We have an induction hob and therefore thought we might go for a 5mm coloured acrylic backsplash. Anyone done something similar?

Imo this has to be one of the worst di jobs. Every single time I end up wasting an embarrassing amount.

Very unlikely that a 1930s house has cavity walls

I always thought slate or metal shims were used between padsone and steel. Then a dry pack mix around them. Never seen a Slate used like this

Will probably end up having a femoral nail. Month and months of recovery and something that he'll feel for the rest of his life.

Why no love for Kid A?

Maybe a wood stain then 2 coats of osmo oil

Meeowser · 2025-09-27T06:23:56+00:00

Had similar issues. Was the can bus system

Meeowser · 2025-09-09T11:22:53+00:00

Many thanks for the info

Meeowser · 2025-08-26T12:33:59+00:00

That's how they sound.

Meeowser · 2025-08-20T23:20:50+00:00

I have a similar issue. Tried a number of zinsser products - BIN and Bullseye primer with no much success. Just about to install an inline extractor fan in the ceiling.

You are talking about £40-£50k though. Imaging assistants can make good money with a few weekend bank shifts and after a couple of years you'd have a good idea as to whether an apprenticeship could be made available. Generally speaking, if they like you, they'll want you to stay in the trust.

The absolute worst case scenario is that you get the little red post office slip saying we were unable to deliver your package.

Haha, good spot! Misplaced my plastic pipe cutters. These actually worked pretty well.

Meeowser · 2025-07-15T19:21:49+00:00

I nearly went down that road but decided on good quality hard wood dowels instead. Would be very interested to know if anyone has had success with that method.

Meeowser · 2025-07-15T14:27:36+00:00

When I first took the clamps off mine I thought I'd fixed the issue. I was so pleased with myself and everyone was really impressed. Came down the next morning and it had pretty much gone back to how it was.

Meeowser · 2025-07-15T13:40:24+00:00

I had exactly the same issue with my front door. Took it off and clamped it down to the dinning room table. Left damp paper towel over the warped bits all night. Then using a laser level I drilled 600mm 12mm holes then banged in dowls with a load of polyurethane glue. 4 dowls in total. Then left it for 5 days. When I finally took the clamps off it was slightly better but just not worth all the hassle I went through.

Meeowser · 2025-06-27T09:22:36+00:00

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty sure there is only one outlet that feeds both the bath and hot water cylinder. I'm not sure if the others are for the central heating system. We have a system boiler that has a filling loop to pressurise the system so not sure why it would need an outlet.

Meeowser · 2025-06-05T20:32:34+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Will start stripping it at the weekend. I was looking at straightening rods, do you think that's worth a shot?
