What we did was put a load of screws in the floor at 30cm intervals and used a laser level to screw them all into the right head height. Then we had a reference point to pour to.

If you set the level on a shelf you could use a line mark on a vertical stick and walk around the room to figure out where the low points are.

Being part of the forum and the real life rides got me through some pretty tough times in my life when I was in London. Devastated it has to end this way.

What a crap bill.

Very early morning on a multi mode commute.

I rated DIY kitchens - showroom is pretty helpful too. Good experience from pretty much every angle - only downside was having to dismantle the (dry fit as specced) corner unit in the dark front garden when the delivery lorry turned up.

Physically, it's not a 0% chance I guess - if he's certain that's where its ended up.

It'd definitely claw at you though

Looks like a good’un boys!

Give me a shout on your next northern adventure.

Still around?

4 deep column rads probably should have feet anyway - fair play to them for not just leaving it and hoping it's all ok.

Good spot, nothing in stock nearby but managed to sketchily get a fair priced one back from T&P.

30 or so 2400mm are needed, but 4800mm are 4 times the price of 2400mm at the moment. Kinda annoying

I keep finding a minimum order of 5 for stuff that long annoyingly. Im going to stud out the walls later and get a proper measurement - maybe my measurements dont line up with real life.

Im going to stud and lower my ceiling and overboard. The long dimension of one is a tad over 4m. Could I join together a couple of 2400mm 2x3 (sistering them together) to make that span?

I should just go and buy some Game Stop and hope for the best..

Yeah, lets bring this thread back to the good old days.

I bought some Shimano hydro shifters and calipers a few years ago and they were pretty good. I replaced the hoods with official ones as they were fairly misshapen but they've lasted a good 5 years.

What a little dude, must’ve had a lovely life.

No - luckily I joked to my other half that the raisin would probably come out whole and she said there was risk. Quick google and a phone call and I was straight down the vet. Poor paws were going all sweaty on the vets table.

Reuben likes to drink the milk outta my cereal bowl. This morning however he managed to eat a raisin which after a bit of warning from my OH... causes renal failure. Who knew?

30 minutes and 105 quid later they made him throw up a load of food, gravy, hairballs and a single raisin.

Kids been zonked all day.

I remember it being referred to as Safety Black (TM)

We had a look out for this a couple of years back and ended up doing this

Filter wipe probably every couple of weeks and a hot wash similar amount of time?

Potentially helpful colour scheme shot (not bathroom)
We used Mapei Limestone coloured grout with our pink tiles to sit with our black fireplace and cat.

Tis cool - ever miss the carbonda?

I’ve seen that today online! I’m much less sure about that. There’s loads of pretty old insulation and more dust up that I’m not quite got the access to deal with at the moment. We do have a quote to get a loft hatch put in nearby but… found out I’m up for redundancy in the next month so need to hold off and do as much DIY as possible.

I've started stripping the paper and blown plaster out of our bedroom in prep for a plasterer to come in, but the wood chip ceiling paper is going to end me.

The bit of blown ceiling plaster I've taken back to the laths has a lot of dust and soot so I don't think I want to take the whole ceiling down.

Should I just tell the plasterer to overboard and not worry about spending the time/inhaling the dust?

Honestly, I’ve never heard of DIY kitchens putting a foot wrong. Glad they were able to sort you out!
