Shouldn't the element already have those attached? I don't think the man that fixed it last time needed any but nevertheless, I shall investigate when the element turns up tomorrow.

No, the oven will have them attached, but they're often thin and rubbish and break.

Ah right. Gotcha! There's a hardware shop just round the corner from me so I will have a look tomorrow.

If I wanted to re-seal the bath, how long do I need to leave the water in?

Got the man coming tomorrow at 2:30 to take pics of the house. If I removed and re-sealed tonight would I be able to empty the bath before his arrival tomorrow?

You can get faster curing sealant. I tend to use CT1 rather than silicone nowadays. It's more expensive, but much easier to work with than silicone and cures much faster. Get yourself some wonder wipes as well; they're excellent at getting sealant off your hands.

Good to know! Our bath seems to have been caulked or grouted rather than siliconed, and it's relentlessly flaking out.

CT1 is amazing stuff. It’s actually an adhesive first, but works much better than silicone as a sealant and will even cure underwater. It’s a damned impressive adhesive as well — I’ve successfully stuck a ceramic hand basin to a tiled wall. It’s that kind of impressive.

I know. I use loads of the stuff, mainly as an adhesive, but have used it many times to seal fittings in bathrooms, glue up aqua panels, etc. It's a proper game changer and is incredibly useful. I had to remove a bottle trap on one of our sinks (as they're shit and block very easily) and the new p trap was 6mm narrower in diameter so I needed a gasket to insert it into the waste pipe in the wall. Could I get a step down rubber gasket from any of the nearby hardware stores. Nope. I used CT1. 4 hours later I had a watertight seal which was hidden behind a fascia ring.

The oven is fixed! The new element looks better than the old one anyway so maybe the guy who fitted it used the Mad Catz equivalent element? Who knows.

I had a tiny issue with the screws but nothing that couldn't be fixed with my drawer of assorted screws from the garage. I'm pleased with that. Saved myself £60ish.

Think of all the crisps you can buy with that £60.

You don’t even need an oven to eat crisps. Sell it, and use the proceeds to buy pies, con people out of mo ru using stunt pies and buy more crisps.

When I was redecorating the sitting room late last year I noticed what looked for all the world like rising damp on an internal wall, which appeared mysteriously post decorating. I initially thought we'd accidentally pierced a radiator pipe screwing in the skirting, but on investigation and removal of all the blown render there was no pipe to be seen and the wall was solid brick anyway. I treated the wall with damp rods and left it to dry out over Christmas. During that period, more evidence of damp appeared around the front door and in the downstairs shower room, all affected areas close to one another. I thought "shit" we've got a leak somewhere in the water main, somewhere near the front of the house and it's likely to be buried in concrete somewhere.

Yesterday, I did some poking around all the exposed pipework I could find and finally removed the panelling at the back of the toilet in the downstairs shower room — it has a concealed cistern. Lo and behold, the tarbeck valve on the loo was blown and every time you flushed the loo, the valve pissed water all over the floor, which had been seeping through the cement and climbing up the walls when it reached them. I put new flooring down when I renovated the sitting room last year, which was glued down on top of the vinyl/marmoleum/lino floor that was already down throughout the ground floor, so the water was seeping under this to the walls and then rising up. Fortunately, other than some slight cosmetic damage to a couple of walls near the loo, there doesn't appear to be any lasting damage.

I fixed the toilet today, which fortunately had an isolation valve on the feed pipe so I didn't have to switch the water off.

I thought this was going to be like when I thought there was damp in the bedroom of our old place in Whitley Bay, until I realised it was the lamp and window making a shadow where a clock would stand. It was only after a couple of weeks I noticed the damp patch moved ever so slightly over the course of the day.

There are plenty of things I can't do :) But most DIY stuff, property maintenance I can do and if I don't know quite how, I do research. Very little of it is that difficult. Some things are proper crafts, such as plastering, and I'll always get a pro' in if it's anything bigger than a patching job. I'll also defer to friends who are qualified in plumbing or electrickery if the job is complicated/dangerous, but domestically that covers only two things, like putting a new boiler in or wiring up new consumer units. You also need to be certificated to do this work. The rest I can do.

I play no musical instruments, I speak no other languages, I can't fly a plane or a helicopter, I can't sing... there's more, but I suspect you didn't want a list ;)

Heh. I deal with a lot of people who mistake condensation for damp. Don't think I've ever had to deal with a shadow being mistaken for damp. I've become a bloody expert at differentiating between the two, largely to do with our house being built in the 50s, having no cavity wall and being semi-detached. Humidity in most houses is much higher than it should be and it does cause problems if it goes unchecked, including health issues due to mold spores

Fucking plastering, man. At some point during plastering school you're taught the secret of slop that will stay firm on your hawk, turn to warm butter on a trowel and then glue itself to the wall like fucking epoxy.

Like I said, it's a proper craft and really fucking hard to do well. Or at least, it requires a lot of training.

Right?! The slop is either like water or sand - there's no in-between.

The games room progress has somewhat stalled, due to my wife not wanting to JUST GET ON AND SELL HER CHAIRS FFS but I did move a cupboard and put up some bias lighting.
