low profile traps for shower and bath

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...

yes. just not sure about the anatomical reference...:U

How do you remove the bottom fin from an aluminium slider? I intend to mount the window on top of three rows of glass bricks.

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...

thanks rambunctious (atleast his licence is current and valid for the work he did) and haveabeer. i think we will end up paying him as we get the money. we have paid all his other invoices so he...

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...

we bought a place 6 years ago that has been the victim of a DIYer electrician. one side of the house has been wired up by someone who was not a trained electrician. we have recently done a major...

hi Neil, is it renovateforum.com.au (singular) or renovateforums.com.au (plural)?

Nice. That makes sense. Cheers.

How should we do the cornice in this bedroom?536364

hi all, i have an old but reliable JD L130 with 48 inch cutting deck. the deck died the other day through lack of preventative maintenance. its actually the deck shell that went. rusted through in...

sorry folks. have to say, Easy Flow is fabulous to use. Did a room and a half last night (walls only) after work and the easy flow was, um, easy. Thanks to you all for contributing your views. this...

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.

Hi folks, we have these 9 slat, 500mm x 500mm, interlocking decking tiles/boards down on our patio. the timber slats are 45mm wide by 19mm deep. not sure of the timber but they are the colour of aged...

Asked a while ago about what to do about these cracks that run along the apex but joint of our ceiling. Theory us that easy tape probably used rather than paper. Am think it will be relatively...

cheers beardy. was it simply red who sang "Money's too tight to mention..."? am hoping to make them from materials i already have. might go down to the big hardware shed and measure one of theirs up....

folks, has anyone made their own cavity sliders/pocket door frames? we are cutting through a bedroom wall into an empty space and will turn this into my daughter's wardrobe. the walls are non...

I have a swag of cracks to repair at home where there has been movement in the building. these are all butt joints where there is probably no backboard. I have added a few extra screws here and there...

and today, i can see the funny side of it. sometimes my sarcastic side is more powerful than my human side. i would be great in politics. cheers.

Thanks Robby. Where did you build?

Hey droog. Filling nail and screw holes prior to painting. Haven't done a window in years. I think last time was over 10 years ago. Memories, like the corners of my mind....

Good trick.

Thanks Jack. Will try with oil based. It's weird though. The pair of shutters on the opposite side of the corridor have come up a treat using solarguard.

Perhaps this was for a question that asked where to shop. Having reread what I posted, it definitely wasn't about shopping. It was about painting. That's where you apply liquid colour to surfaces....

we bought some shutters a while ago which originally came from iKEA. they were white once but now not so much. to rectify the situation i gave them a little sand and have begun to repaint them....

i recall my father used to revitalise old putty using linseed oil. well, i think it was linseed oil. he used to add it to those little pots of selley's putty (with the green lid). does anyone know...

thanks all. I will give haymes a shot then. just has to be ultra vivid white with no hint of other colour. When i said the tin i tried was BP, i was having a guess. It's a blue tin. i will try to...

so, what should we use on trims when the walls have been done with white solagard gloss? would like something that ends up smooth like glass. tried using british paints (i think) oil based gloss...
