    Tile layout - corner shower

    Carbide hole saw. Sneaky tip is use a board with a hole in for the drill and clamp the tile so you can cut part holes on seperate tiles. Bit bigger than i was thinking. Running bond wont look to bad. Straight vertical lines in the adhesive please. :D

If its a brick wall it will be out. If its framed its more likely to plumb in at least 1 direction. Nornally you'd set from your...

    Cutting Threads

    Thats a machine rolled thread rather than a die cut thread (the major diameter is bigger than the shaft diameter), so it can't be that old but it doesn't mean it isn't some odd ball thread, hardware manufacturers love to chuck a curve ball in. how much meat is there in the backplate (of the...

    Compressed air

    Sorry was working in pipe rather than hose. Poly 14mm is 10mm id which would be fine. Rubber 14mm would be 6.3mm and to small. Id 14mm is a bugger to get Measure the run before you buy anything.

    Compressed air

    Chuck a hose through. No joins to worry about. Use 14mm if you can. Polyurethane will be fine. Hard pipe is great but for low pressure stuff its overkill.

    Things I know today - that I didn't yesterday....

    Using RGT, because it's free right now. At the end of all this I shall put the turbo trainer back where it belongs, and where it's lived for the past 6 years (under the table saw where I can't reach it) and go back to riding outside. I can manage maybe 40 minutes before I get to the point of...
