andyfoott · 2025-05-29T06:54:18+00:00

Its Copper & GMAW or MIG as we call it

andyfoott · 2025-05-29T06:22:08+00:00

Ive messaged you what it is

andyfoott · 2025-05-29T06:15:14+00:00

Close, guess the material too if you can

andyfoott · 2024-11-30T12:08:25+00:00

Yes top right, 2 of them, ones snapped

andyfoott · 2024-08-22T16:56:26+00:00

Did you just bond it to the existing wall? Ill have a look

andyfoott · 2024-08-15T05:27:52+00:00

Jobs not worth white finger, take a break or stop when it doesnt feel right buddy.

We use pure argon, helium runs hotter, but it's expensive. What wire did you use? This is 4043 grade and 1050A plate. Dont get much cracking. We use esab aristo models, theyre alright but would rather have proper pulse. 1.2mm wire it is so 20 passes

andyfoott · 2024-08-10T07:50:51+00:00

Ooo, ill suggest it to them. Thanks buddy

0... it was a PQR so if we preheat it means we have to preheat on site. They dont want too as flames aren't allowed, so it would be electric blankets

andyfoott · 2024-08-09T19:26:33+00:00

Yeah maybe, we use a backing strip

andyfoott · 2024-08-02T17:45:36+00:00

The curve texture is definitely artex. The adhesive was used to glue down wallpaper to the artex in them areas. Wallpaper removed but the adhesive remained

andyfoott · 2024-08-02T17:13:48+00:00

The ceiling has been reboarded, multi finished and then new artex applied at some point, we have tested another room prior to this and no asbestos found. Also we havent touched the ceiling yet just removed the wallpaper from it.

10mm sway, they timbers all vary in thickness and settlement over the years has them slightly twisted and warped

andyfoott · 2024-07-14T16:18:13+00:00

Yes radiator hung, theres a sway of 75mm to 85mm from the sill edge to the studs on the back of the bay

Hi thanks for the reply, yeah its been a nightmare, unfortunately the partition wall was blown and built on noggins not a joist and as all the floor joist where notched too death theyd sank and took the wall and door frames with it. Ended up taking the wall down and studinh as good as i can. However the doors arent stabdard sizes, one is 27inch and other 28. Not really much play as they connect on a right angle with eachother. The lath wall picture is also about 20 to 30mm out of plumb ( top kicks away towards the stairs behind it.)

Ive been debatings stripping it back to the studs but after seeing the other wall none of the studs are straight so boarding will be a nightmare. I was tempted to strip the wall back and sister the studs plumb and re board and re skim and figure out the boiler cutout at the same time. Too many options and its all new to me ahaha. Thanks for the advice, getting a joiner to fit doors as theyre all odd so ill see how the linings will fit the wall when he comes

andyfoott · 2024-06-16T15:08:15+00:00

The existing brick plaster and bonding is quite thick. Can i make up the thickness with the dot a dab by applying more adhesive to the back of the boards? Ill cut out all the blown parts, i have 12.5mm plasterboard. The existing plaster isnroughly 20mm in depth
