Hello All, I have an idea standard bathroom suite. The issue I have is with the sink and in particular the pop up plug.

Hello, I live in a 1930 house with the older wiring colours. I was replacing a ceiling light today when I came up against some strangeness - to me at least.

Hello All, I've had a shower fitted for a couple of years now and recently it seems not be very hot. I have a combi boiler and we have mains water presure.

Great! one last question. What should I use for the pointing? should I just fill the gaps with soft sand or should I wait 24 hours after I laid the slabs and then use the same mixture to fill the joints?


Thanks
