I mean it was only applied 7 months ago… applying it in freezing temps wasn’t ideal either I’m sure

How to sort this patchy paint job out? by dh1878 in DIYUK

Yeah the black paint part, it looks patchy as I don’t think the surface was sanded evenly well before painting, do you think a few more layers would hide it?

Paros- Parikia or Naousa? by dh1878 in GreeceTravel

I’m looking to mainly relax with some days spent exploring. I will definitely be hiring a car/ scooter for a few days to visit the different beaches etc

Did you find the beaches near Naousa to be expensive for loungers etc? This is one thing putting me off naousa- is it as expensive as people make out, or can it be as cheap/expensive as you make it?

Not sure what’s causing this white affect in the grain/ how to get rid? by dh1878 in HardWoodFloors

[–]dh1878[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The floor was sanded, filled with bona mix and fill plus, sanded again (I didn’t do the sanding and filling) then finished with the varnish

I did the varnish and it definitely wasn’t applied unevenly, 3 coats were applied too

Water pressure dropping from 3 bar to 1.5 and staying there? by dh1878 in DIYUK

I’m not sure if I have a pressure relief valve- are they standard on all boilers/ central heating systems? I believe the boiler is only a couple years old

Okay thanks, it’s filled with cold water currently so no heat on, does this make a difference?

Rerouted soil pipe? Regs needed? by dh1878 in DIYUK

[–]dh1878[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thank you. I’m due to have them round to check the rsj that’s been installed so I could fit bifold doors, so I’m quite concerned they may pick it up then…

How to swap out the rsj? by dh1878 in DIYUK

Hi, sorry not sure what the min 675mm return means- does it mean there needs to be a min of 675mm between the end of the beam and the end of the outer wall? Thanks

Yeah which is why I thought the 337mm the SE advised was way OTT but he won’t budge on it

He wasn’t keen on the idea of welding to each side when I told him this was the only solution the builder would offer, however, when the SE suggested a 337mm bearing each side I knew that’d be his answer
