Trouble is though, if there's any pipework on the wall behind the existing unit and you won't get the built in washer far enough back. look behind the hinges of the units either side, it's a secret screwing point into the next unit. (Don't tell anyone though, it's a secret.) I’ll look later, TVs on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Anything that you are told will be a 5 minute job. 4 hours later.... People probably wouldn't try DIY for small jobs if they didn't fear asking someone out to do it to find out that while doing it they have discovered something else which you have no option but to agree too because they are currently half way through the job and know you can't have it left half finished.

Have a nightmare every time, always some steel lintel or something that means I cannot drill into the wall without some sort of industrial drill. Arghhhhh. TVs on walls... Okay do you go by the spirit level and get it perfectly straight, only for it to look wonky because the building is not perfect. Then you end up doing it by eye but it just feels wrong. Always feel TV's on walls in unnatural, too high normally and uncomfortable. I moved into a house with a bay window. You want to try and put up a curtain rail in them. Four years on an I dare her to say she wants to change the curtains. TV's on walls...I can remember having a day off work to put one up. It wasn't the fittings it was the wall. The plaster board was studded onto the blocks that were made of some crumbly ash stuff. Then the cavity and the outside brick. I ended up getting an extra long drill bit and screws. When the father in law came round to take the piss he said I had some new hooks to put some hanging baskets up on. He nearly got the drill through his head.

Don't you need a water supply and a drain or are you going to let it drain into the garden like the guy from Mickleover did with his s****.

Coneheadjohn Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I'm banned from any DIY,on the grounds of it costing vastly more to put right my failed attempts than getting a professional in to do it in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
