We have moved a shower up against an existing wall. Wall is painted on the top half. Can I prime then waterproof ovefvthe paint? Have sanded it already537513

With a central 100 km waste in the centre of the bathroom and the bath and shower on opposite sides of the room, can the inflows (to the central waste) for each be directly opposite each other. Will...

I wasn't gripping with the needle nose pliers, just using them for leverage to unscrew. Couldn't think of anything else that was long and thin that would fit.

Chaps, problem solved. used needle nose pliers, inserted as shown in the attached pic. Unscrewed the bayonet, and hey presto, there was one tiny little nut screwed onto the hollow threaded steel...

Thanks all. Had tried everything suggested before posting earlier. no joy. @droog , the batten is held in hy two push in spots opposite each other dow bear its base. Absolutely no room for fingers....

Anyone know how these sort of lights are put together? They are big glass balls, somewhat reminiscent of the cone of silence, with silver housing around the batten for the bulb. Made by Brilliant,...

found a kitchen maker who will sell it to us. cheers

well, yes. that would be a smart way to proceed. it would have taken me six years of sundays to up with that solution and, for that sir, i am grateful.

life is grand without grout.

i have asked about DIYT waterproofing in this thread: https://www.renovateforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=258998

hi folks, we have changed the vanity in the kids's bathroom and built a seperator half wall thing between toilet and shower and need to waterproof the new bits. What is quick, easy, and dries fast in...

Anyone?

Anyone know where to get edge banding from that is thicker than the moroday product at bunnings. It's like paper thin. We have edge banding that is chambered on all edges and thicker.

Removing the glass and getting them sprayed would be the best way to go. The DIY route is painful.

Anybody know if it's possible to cut invisigard doors and screens down to fit other sized doors and windows? We have just had two invisigard doors made for our sliding doors. Want to change one of...

just lucky i'm gorgeous. well, so my mum used to tell me....

have actually gone back to tiling as the plan.

Thanks everyone.

cheers. i kept the old one from the spa bath. it was in the shed. if someone in our family can't find something, its generally "in the shed". in this case, it really was. its a caroma branded one....

it did. the spa was set up at such a height to accommodate it that required two steps to get up into. it was dangerous and one of the kids went head over onto the tiles just after we moved here.

are low profile traps compliant in queensland? we have only 140mm above concrete slab and do not want to have to break the slab to re pipe the bathroom. there was a flexible plumdinger in place when...

does anybody know of where we might get black glass sheets to use as the walls of the shower? I am not referring to a shower screen but to the walls that are fixed to the walls of the room.

cheers

cheers, i was both hoping and not hoping that that would be the correct answer.

what is used to cut drain holes? will a regular hole bit do the job if the sheet is wet at the time?

folks, for a raised platform in the bathroom we are currently building, can formply and 4.5mm cement sheet be used instead of going to the 19/22mm cement sheeting products? the bathroom is on a...

Thanks all. to mitre the edges is well beyond my skills so shiny steel edge is most likely going to be the go.

our new bathroom is going to have a step up/or platform for the bath tub. we will be tiling the front edge of the step and top of the platform. Questions: 1. does the facing tile cover the edge of...

thanks. will grab some on the way home.

no. we haven't. was just reading about zinsser stain blocker. will give that a try. is it something that can just be painted over the stain, left to dry, and then painted with regular paint? should...

hi, we have recently painted our place. there is a spot on one gyprock/plaster wall that is vexing us completely. Its a stain. its always been there. well, since we bough the place anyway. so, 6...

thanks mic-d. me with an electric planer is a recipe for disaster. I am so lame and hopeless with the thing. It sits there, gleefully watching me when i go into my shed. Taunting me from the tool...

why is it that most of the trim around is 11mm thick? i need thinner trim that is 9-10mm thick. Any ideas folks?

first step is to lightly sand the frames with emery paper. just enough to take the sheen off. then, tape up any trim/reveal/glass. probably want to investigate the cost of having someone else do this...

that's one of the options we (wife and i) thought of. but not being electrically inclined, we weren't sure if that was at all possible. all circuits in the old board had RCDs and it was inspected by...

thanks droog. when i used the term "we" in my initial post, i did not mean me. i have been ordered to the green shed to get something easier to use.

can you use the Gyprock CSR Easy Flow All Purpose Compound for the first two coats and then use Gyprock Gold Topping Compound for the final coat? We started using Base Coat 45 for the first coat but...

i have sent an email via their contact page and also a message to their FB account. their site seems to be all about engineered flooring these days so i may be all out of luck. fingers crossed.

bang on, Mic-D! thanks for that, you're a star!

found a brand name/trademark on the plastic bases last night. FLOREST where the O is replaced with a tree. hasn't helped me find anything though.

cheers. have done that. most seem to be 30cm square these days.
