    Made mistake plastering bathroom. Backerboard?

    I used a wedi type board for my recent bathroom renovation. It turned out to be a bigger job than I planned.... aren't they all! The pictures show the boards fitted, then tanked and finally finished. Mike

    AJAX 1940s Pillar Drill Restoration

    Interesting renovation, I look forward to seeing how it evolves 👍 Looking on the web I found that the company is still in business, and still manufacturing industrial machinery. Looking on their history page there is a photo of a similar looking machine to yours dated 1946.

    Bathroom renovation...

    I'm in the process of renovating our bathroom, and after ripping out 2 layers of tiles and the plasterboard where the shower was I found this stud which has diamond shaped mesh with mortar over it. Is it, as i think, a bodge or is there a genuine reason someone would do this??? Anyone got any...

    Gout 😥

    Let's hope you don't get it anywhere else then as 'any joint can be affected by gout, but it usually affects joints towards the ends of the limbs, such as the toes, ankles, knees and fingers'.👍

    Gout 😥

    Gout is a a form of inflammatory arthritis and I had mine diagnosed some 30 years ago, it eventually got that severe I had my big toe joint fused in 2019. Unfortunately the metal plate they fitted to support it caused that much discomfort I had to have it removed 12 months later. I still get...

    Wallpapering

    A tip I found for hanging paste the wall wallpaper is to reverse roll the bottom section of each of strip you are putting up, the face side of the wallpaper will not then get covered in paste when you hang it. Also, I always use an Aris wallpaper trimmer to trim the wallpaper after putting it...

    Wallpapering

    Agree 100% about sizing the wall, I've recently had to wallpaper a feature wall for SWMBO, and she purchased paste the wall, wallpaper. Having not used it before I was a bit dubious, but it went up very easily, and there was no shrinkage gaps when it dried, presumably as the wallpaper hadn't...

    Cappuccino machine

    I had a de'longhi dedica machine and a separate de'longhi bean grinder for a few years. I eventually tired of the messy grounds each time I made a coffee so I purchased a de'longhi magnifica s bean to cup machine, and it is excellent! Fill up the water tank add the beans of your choice and I get...

    Sir Paul

    I thought Paul McCartney set at Glastonbury was excellent, particularly all the Beatles stuff. McCartney is a prolific song writer, but I'm not that keen on a lot of his solo stuff. As John Lennon sang ' The only thing you done was yesterday, and since you're gone you're just another day'. I do...

    Aldi Bandsaw ( new model) coming soon. Buy it or choose other model

    Totally agree about the stupid fixture for the bandsaw table base, it is a real PITA! I've threaded a piece of plastic and trimmed it and fixed to the bolt so it stays in place now. Also I have done away with the stupid handle they supplied. I found (in my box of bits I never throw away🙂) a...

    Aldi Bandsaw ( new model) coming soon. Buy it or choose other model

    I've got to be honest, I was expecting the worst when I found out XDP were the delivery company having read their reviews online, but to be fair my bandsaw arrived right in the middle of its allocated time slot, it was undamaged and the driver was very courteous too. I do agree though, their app...

    Aldi Bandsaw ( new model) coming soon. Buy it or choose other model

    I managed to get the bandsaw assembled in-between doing house husband duties and walking the dog🙄. There are quite a few fiddly bits to adjust and I will more than likely be tweaking them over the coming days. First impressions are good, it works, which is always a good thing😀. I shall ponder...
