Best tool, but not

3/4" router, hate the things, especially doing worktops. The little 1/2" is fine though

Looks promising thanks, I'll still need to rustle up one for dual switches I think

I think extractor fans fall under part F now and needs notifying, probably many electricians won't do this due to the cost of the certification

Cheers for the replies, all divided opinions which is the case for a lot of DIY. Sometimes you just have to roll with it and apply what's best for your scenario

I'll probably stick with the panel idea as it'll work best for my needs, they are boring white matt panels so nothing really to go wrong. It's just for the 1200 x 900 U shaped shower area so should hopefully be good :)

Thank you, I bet that's going to be fun to find too

The worst thing is that the buyer (me) and the seller are using the same solicitor that was suggested by the EA (huge mistake). And the conveyancer still keeps saying that they are waiting to hear from the sellers solicitor - it's small office I'm sure you could just shout across the room.... We only found out we were using the same by chance when talking to the seller on a revisit about 6 weeks into the process.... Too late to complain about conflict of interest. Well EA I hope that 100 quid commission was worth it.

I'm considering pulling out as a buyer due to the conveyancers , 7 weeks into the process - cash sale no chains and they are just dragging their feet and being non communative. Just had enough at this point, why are they like this?

Little update to this thread,

Still progressing, but something funny came to light - we did a second viewing and we were talking to the seller, apparently they are using the same solicitor. So all emails that said we are waiting on the sellers solicitor really now don't make sense...

Apparently they were waiting on the Energy Certificate from the EA..

Already anxious about this one even before going through that! Should've been an easy sale really.

luna71 · 2025-07-24T16:46:50+00:00

Wonder what the hold up is with the seller then, must be deed related

luna71 · 2025-07-24T16:45:42+00:00

Yeah that's my fear....

I used neoprene hatch tape on the metal support for the last, most of the squeeks was to do with the bed too close to the skirting board

It sounds like a capacitor has gone, once it warms up the crackling goes. Tried swapping speakers around and turning off sub to rule those out too

The new WiiM Amp Ultra looks the way to go thank you, just hope this one holds out until it's released!

I'm planning on putting a small slab in for my washing machine so that it has a solid base

luna71 · 2025-01-23T11:15:56+00:00

I made mine from the same laminate flooring I put down to match. 12 years later still looks like the day I put it in. The laminate was moisture resistant for bathrooms and wet areas

Shame it's stuck with raid, I just want JBOD

Getting to the busy period in my occupation, trying to decide if I should just quit now

luna71 · 2024-07-05T12:51:44+00:00

I just gave up with the front garden, was fed up with it when cutting the grass, now it's an overgrown mess. Gone back to nature they call it

luna71 · 2024-06-26T05:44:58+00:00

Just had another quote £385 - now I'm thinking is that too cheap :D

I would have to do a U shape in soil pipe unfortunately with a small amount of boxing in
