Home DIY

Thanks dammit made more sense with drawings.

We've had the offer accepted on the place we saw yesterday. Bloody exciting times.

Yeah, that's the tricky bit isn't it, getting rid of a long heavy thing on a cyclists forum ;-)
But gumtree is called scumtree for a reason, freecycling there always becomes a hassle.

I could possibly pick it up later, let me check what I'm doing- I need to fit in going to wish Digger happy birthday with going to the gym, having dinner with my girlfriend and feeding the cats.

Sure, I'll be at home or close to home most of the weekend. Let me know how you get on.

Small room, I think it should be ok. If not, I can always get a fan with more grunt and move this one to the other bathroom which is as the name suggests- a room with a bath, rather than a shower, so steam levels will be much lower.

Nice,I have this one http://youtu.be/5HJFqO5K8Mg

Mine was cheaper than that.

I clamped some bamboo floorboards to the ply, cut down them- they are, according to my larger level, dead straight.

Show-off.

Don't suppose you have a 100mm core drill?

I just bought a core drill set, it contains a 100mm core drill...

Awesome, see you tomorrow, I'll have the coffee machine on.

If you still need it in a couple of weeks I could bring it up if you don't mind posting it back.

Hopefully the extractor is going to arrive tomorrow, so I may well end up buying one from Wickes tomorrow.

Diamond or TCT do you reckon?

Not sure on the benefits of either. Diamond sounds flash.

If you're only going to use it the once then Aldi have a core drill set for £25.

107mm, that is seven mm too many.

Pikey foam it...

Nein!

You'll be probably be fine with the 107 mm - it depends on what ducting you're using. Grey '4"' soil pipe is actually about 110 mm outside dia. and you usually use a 115 core bit for it. I usuall y use 4" soil pipe for fan ducts through walls as there is usually some around.
I have a bunch of different core drills but can't get them 'till Monday -if that works for you you can borrow.
you'll need at least a 2kg SDS drill though

SDS I have- the DeWalt in the photo up-thread.

EDIT although having just read this it looks like it's only rated for a 65mm core bit.

Bugger.

This is an old sketch-plan that might make more sense:

what the new plan? i saw it somewhere but months ago

TCT is useless for anything harder than a thermal block. Get diamond.

Although it's changed since then- the bathroom design didn't survive first contact with the enemy.

That is a guide only
;-)
if the wall is reasonably soft brick (ie not engineering brick or concrete) you'll be alright.
I use my Makita 2kg SDS occasionally for cutting 100 mm holes in London Stock brick etc.

Also RPM is totally right -diamond is the only way to go.

i see i can see the shower is that now an ensuit?

Do you have a baby grand piano?
