Has anyone from this group considered compiling a list of DIY tips?
Here are two I made earlier:
[1] Laying vinyl floor covering in a bathroomRemove bath panel, bidet, WC pan, basin pedestal. For the last two, prop up the cistern / basin with a bit of wood angled from the skirting. This may seem like a long task, but it saves time in the long run, and makes a more water resistant job.
[2] Laying vinyl floor covering around 15mm or 22mm pipesTo cut round copper pipes, get a conical grinding wheel and sharpen the inside of a stub of spare pipe. Mark out position of hole, and use pipe as a punch. If you get it a bit wrong, you can nibble at the edge cutting out crescent shapes. If you get it very wrong (oops!) glue the bit back in and start again.
