Bump... (pretty please)

I'm using a Fix-fix type wall starter system and would like to know which compressible filler I should use to bridge the gap between the old and new masonry. I am referring to what sits behind the external polysulphide mastic sealant. I'm aware of the Aerosil brand in this area but they've...

Hi MF, I experienced the same problem a few weeks back. As Roger mentioned, Screwfix have changed their computer system which for some unkown reason has meant that they re-issued new customer account numbers, although being utterly incompetent, they didn't actually tell anyone! Therefore, I...

To future Screwfix customers, As someone who is always doing some form of DIY or construction to my property, my friends and family regularly give me B&Q, Focus and Screwfix vouchers for birthday and Christmas presents etc. I'm currently using a thermalite block and thin joint mortar system...

Hi Dibs, Sorry to here of your woes, hope you mend ok. We'd love to see pictures though! Best wishes, Chris

Ditto!

I got mine yesterday but since I'm working away from the office I don't exactly know what they have delivered.

Hi Dibs, I've just paid. Sorry for the delay - I've been working away from home all week and the hotel didn't have Internet access (nightmare), so now I've got 181 threads on UKW to catchup on.... Thanks, Chris

Erbauer ERB210C (Screwfix own brand) for me. I can't find the plate dimensions in the manual (online) so I might photocopy the base and use the copy as a drill template. Thanks, C

What a wonderful sight! Thank you for sharing that with us. Cheers, C

I'm guessing that the complete lack of comment on last night's performance just about sums it up! I'm now officially bored of watching England and that is after I raced 125 miles home in rush hour traffic to view the match. I'd forgive the lack of goals if they were inventive but we sat so...

The engineer is a tit - you need an ADSL microfilter for simultaneous broadband and telephone operation. You can buy one at Tesco / Asda quite cheaply.

10% is just a standard measurement point as defined in the applicable BS to allow easy comparison between materials but the important bit is what pressure is required to give 10% compression. This table should help and I doubt that any of your machinery is greater than 12 tonnes and with a...

Correct for me. Thanks, C

Hi Dibs, You are an inspiration to us all - can't fault your attention to detail and determination to succeed! You probably know this but surely just infilling the joists with Kingspan will create a cold bridge through the joist? An easier solution may be to float a T&G floor directly over the...

In a bid to save wood and possibly lower cost, I suggest that provided that every 'packer' within each column lamination is fixed to the wall then the outer elements of each column lamination could be made from OSB strips or thinner wood stock. This assumes that the outer elements are...

That will be me then - many thanks, much appreciated!

It doesn't - if you are transmitting ethernet frames without encryption then TTK can place his device into promiscuous mode and capture all frames, extract a currently used MAC address and then force his device to use the same MAC address for subsequent 'illicit' communications. HTH, C

To be pedantic, protecting your WIFI network is more than just worrying about loosing a few megabits of bandwidth to a passer-by. An open WIFI network can be a convenient route to attack a PC and then install a key logger and screen grabber which could then be used to capture internet banking /...

That really makes me smile! Please could you post photos of the ducklings when they hatch? Thanks, C
