In Australia we are still stuck with single glazed windows or spend AU$25-50k on replacing with double glazing (the cost of replacing one’s bathroom or a mid range secondhand car) and triple glazing isn’t even an option 😭😭😭

Hello, I have a horizontal pipe as well. Do you think I can still install a wall hung Grohe? Can you share link for the 90 degree bend pipe from wherr you bought it? Also, which Grohe frame is this?

Top job

Very helpful thanks

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the recent flooring installation in my home. People need to know what and oft does occur. The 2 man team 1st installed a 1/4" subfloor, securing it with an excessive number of staples to lessen numerous squeaks in an old 1933 home. But the staples were not sufficiently embedded, leading to a less than satisfactory finish on the top surface of the subfloor which translated to my expensive Karndean vinyl flooring. The result was a top visible surface marred by hundreds possibly thousands of staple imprints, some of which are easily seen from the top, because they actually hammered on top of the finished vinyl floor HARD for any and all raised staples... instead of taking the time to lift the flexible vinyl plank, hammer, then relay the plank so as not to damage it. They also glued the entire floor because that is what they said is best even though only the outside perimeter is required. The financial implications of this project were significant. The flooring cost $4300, and the new subfloor added another $800. With labor costs included, the total expenditure was approximately $9300. To add to the frustration, the supplier ordered an incorrect stair nose, ($60.00) which was incompatible with this Karndean Loose lay & I learned a stair nose is not even made for this style later after calling Karndean. I had to insist on a refund for this error from the inept supplier separate from the 2 flooring "experts". Regrettably, the lack of care and attention to detail extended beyond the flooring. The two-man team left my freshly painted walls damaged with countless (100's) handprints, gouges, dents, and black marks. This required additional work on my part to rectify once they had finally left. Despite the challenges, I felt fortunate to have even found someone to undertake the flooring installation, given the current shortage of skilled labor. However, the experience has left me disillusioned. The reality of home renovations, as I have discovered, is far removed from the transformations depicted on popular television shows like HGTV. While I considered reporting these issues to the Better Business Bureau, I decided against it to avoid further complications. Instead, I have chosen to accept the situation and move forward. However, I find it difficult to recommend any renovation services based on my experience. The industry appears to be dominated by individuals who lack professionalism and respect for their clients’ homes. Whether it’s due to substance abuse, lack of experience, or sheer greed, the quality of work leaves much to be desired. As customers, we seem to be at the mercy of these individuals who are well aware of their leverage in the current market. In conclusion, I hope my experience serves as a cautionary tale for others considering similar projects. It’s crucial to thoroughly vet potential contractors and demand the highest standards of workmanship and professionalism. But if you become desperate as I did... 🙄

Starter watching your channel recently. Great info and great effort. You probably now it by now but to save working time on Chem resin is to wrap the tip in cling film which will stop the air getting into it and won’t set hard so quick 👍🏼

This is why in my 1890's house I've had lime render and plaster on the external hall wall.. plasterboard would just be a nightmare as it's just utterly out.Poor bathroom installer ignored me and insisted on all plasterboard ( not just the shower) and it almost broke the guy. I AM going to plasterboard the ' lean to' because I've run out of cash so thanks for this as it helps me see it's possible

YOU HAVE NOT REPLACED THE ENTIRE PIPE AND NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM

That both guys now may be work with mark

I designed and manufacture this valve, its available in Black / White / Grey / and Olive Grey. Its available in both and internal version and an external version which has a fly screen.

Good job 👍. Can you run surface water in to sewage line? Thank you for any reply.

Hi - Great video, what sized wood did you use for the base?

Semi dry mix is much better.

Just come across this video as currently searching some options for plasterboarding our oak stair case! … desperate to see how you finished the awkward corner bit under the stairs, have you any photos/videos pleaseeeee?! 😂

What render backing board would you recommend? Length height and width information especially 👍👍

You could do some sanding as well aster the spray

You could do something, put some wax, graze,

did you build the bricks on top of the wall plate? , thanks.

Hi Thanks for the video. I am hoping to do the same . Any advice /guidance would be appreciated.

Hi there great video. Can I ask you a question please? If you surveyed a possible customers bathroom for a tray, how do you find out which way the joists are running etc?

Fantastic informative video ...🎉🎉

What sand do you use please

Wow, those worktops are awesome!

What was the mix ratio sand and cement

Thank you for the tips.

Nice job👍🏾

*Vacuuming

I had a soil vent pipe going up into my roof and out ceiling but had a bathroom renovation done and the plumber removed the pipe - cut it to a short length capped it and boxed it in. Since then I was noticing my washing machine not draining properly and dishwasher not rinsing. A different plumber said he thinks it’s because the air is getting trapped which would have normally escaped via the soil pipe?

Nice job mate 👍

Is there catalist put in mix to make it go off or is it good to go straite out of bucket??? Cheers

I have 11sq metre area of patio that needs repointing. Would appreciate recommendation of quickest and easiest way of doing it please. I am not concerned that it lasts for many years just that it looks better now.

Please don't ever do this, horrible advice, prevents the silicone from adhering

Just watched another video that says dont use windolene lol

Would a 3 to 1 dry mix mortar be better?

Very interesting because my memories of my father doing some bits in the 60s or 70s was a very messy job with sticky wet stuff all over. I have a vast patio area most of which needs redoing - sigh.....

Not timberframe construction dipshit

Just a question on when you said the intumescent strip needs to be on the fire side. That’s fine when the door opens into the garage however if there is a step down into the garage the door needs to pull towards you as there is a step / trip hazard. The strip is then not on the fire side, but I can see the logic for both , not sure if there is a right or wrong ?

Thanks, this is really helpful

Hello, thanks for the video! Quick question what sand and cement should I use please?

Wired in correctly , on three core and earth cable black is sleeved brown and is switched live ,, grey is neutral and sleeved blue

Why do Wickes kitchen all have white cabinets? They lose a lot of customers because they don't have different coloured carcass cabinets.

Hi, I noticed that your grout is for walls, there are grouts for floors specifically

What make are the rads you used?

Now the gaps behind the silicon as you spray onto it will not stick! Looks ok but its not stuck!! Thats where the water will come in 👍

Didn't say how cleared out

No need glue?

Thank you. Can you please do one of changing the flexible hose on the side? :) Can this be done easily as well? I'm wondering how easy it would be as the hose is decaying and rotting on mine! My water set up is different, I wonder if turning the water off gets all of the water from the pipe out, or whether it's still going to come out even with the main water valve off. Thanks.

Underground 110mm pipe indoors? Hmmm...
