    Hi. Good videos. I first watched one of your videos where you used a frame fixture that gets hidden ,for mounting the toilet. All that hidden fixtures in the wall with access to clean really puts the price up but looking at the lovely results is really helpful. Well done. It's the small poxy problems that your videos are good at clearing up . Well done. Regards Don Codman

  • @ktmpilotman
    @ktmpilotman Před 5 lety

    Enjoying these videos Roger.
    I’ve recently changed two wastes where the internal threads had corroded over the years making the whole thing come loose and leak. Silicone on the top and bottom stops it leaking and also keeps the whole thing tight should the threads fail. I agree tho it’s a pain to take apart.

    Excellent video Roger.
    For Info on the space shuttle, there were 2 o rings at every segment of the Solid rocket boosters. They had already found the inner o ring gone on previous missions and only the outer had saved it. Unfortunately for the crew on the mission you mentioned both failed...Very sad. And the whole school class were there to witness it...

    • @SkillBuilder
      @SkillBuilder  Před 5 lety +3

      Arcade Dad
      I knew somebody would pick up on that statement so I thought I had better do some reading. It was, as you say 2 'o' rings not one but it was worse than that because they knew they were not good for the cold weather and an engineer advised on delaying the flight. The leak actually sealed itself before they took off which was in the design but side winds shook the sealing element out. There is a whole book on it and, like so many things, it could have been avoided if people had taken the warnings seriously. For the record the spacecraft was The Challenger.

    • @neilhuband995
      @neilhuband995 Před 3 lety

      It was even worse than an engineer just advising against it, there were massive arguments happening behind the scenes as engineers tried their best to stop this happening. But we all know the outcome unfortunately, they were overruled by some wanker in management who was intent on keeping to schedules and deadlines...

      Thanks for those kind words. In the U.K you can put in a socket if it is more than 3 metres from the bath or shower.
      As the bathroom is only 3 metres long that is tricky. I am not sure the men in suits have fully embraced RCDs. They still don't accept them as a means of protection on building sites so we have to use 110volts which is a complete pain.

    Excellent series of domestic works - I would have loved to see how the glass was fitted for the shower screen & the effect it has when being used to keep the water in one place & not flood all over the floor.
    Looks as though there is a quarter inch gap between the floor & the glass screen on completion.
    When siliconed in place it always goes mouldy - So a free standing glass caught my interest & how well it works.

      Hi Kosmonooit
      You are right, I looked it all up after spouting off about it but I also found that one of the engineers advised against the launch due to the cold and they went ahead. There is a great book about the whole affair.

      Cheers Rog - yeah besides the sub zero temps the final report blamed the safety culture at NASA at the time, warnings were ignored in order to stick to schedules. They also redesigned how them segments join to be more fail safe. What can we learn? don't take chances. Listen to those who know.

    How long did it take to complete? Looks stunning.

    Thanks for the tip on silicone removal, my housing association thinks it is the only way to repair absolutely everything. We waited 16 years for a replacement shower, when they finally fitted a new one, 2 months later the on/off switch blew up and burnt out. Have you got any footage on how to repair draughty double glazed windows, woodworm treatment, woodworm damage repair, toilet to floor thingamajig repair? i would go on but I fear I would bore you with the list of things that need doing... I subbed instead! Thank you again x

    Roger.. I'm putting a shower base into an alcove and was going to use aquastrap but it's such a tight fit that the added mm of the butyl tape won't fit. What's the best option to seal the tray to wall gap. Silicone, Elements fix md, CT1 or what. The walls are elements board.

      Just grab a roll of No More Leaks Bath and shower sealing tape from B&Q. Peel the back off the thin bit and place it where the tiles go. We have a video on it. I usually gun a bit of silicone down the gap first and let that go off and then follow up with the tape, then the tiles then the final silicone seal. Three layers of protection. If I had gone for that approach earlier in my life i would not have spent the last 30 years paying for my kids.
