Any DIY guru's on here?

 

I'm shite at DIY and have no interest in it, but apparently the shower tiles need 're grouting' as the grouting is old and cracked and letting water through.

 

I'd usually get an expert in but I'm skint and the missus wants me to do it 

 

Anybody had experience of doing this and is it that difficult? Any top tips would be appreciated 

 

 

I did it Muzzett ...   nuff said.     And this is the chap who drilled a hole to put a mirror up ...     over a socket.     Ouch !

Not difficult at all mate, time consuming as you will need to remove all the loose grout and probably take off a fair bit of the existing to get a decent base. Doing the grouting itself won't be the issue, getting the old stuff prepped to ensure a good job will be the challenge. @Webbo will probably make me look a twat here though.

Cheers mate  It will probably take me ages so I'll block a few days out over Easter and fingers crossed I don't fvck it up too bad

Ah, You Tube - obvs 

 

How on earth did we manage before You Tube? Thanks for this Buce. This guy is obviously an expert and makes it look easy  

 

I found another clip that shows how to remove the old stuff first. Looks messy and dusty but reckon I can give it a go

No worries, mate.

 

We lost the instructions on how to set the timer on our boiler; the manufacturer couldn't help, but I found a walk-through on You Tube. Now it's my first port of call for anything like that.

Someone wanna elaborate on the 'screenshot' of some woman?

I'm pretty sure I've figured out what's going on, I've PM'ed you to confirm my suspicions

What's all this drama then?  I think I can see the general direction this is going but If somebody's having a pm gossip party I refuse to be left out.

Sharpe blade, or if you're brave and have a steady hand? Angle grinder with a thin blade. Very dusty though. Sometimes it's as quick to retile it. Good luck!!

Cheers mate. I saw one dude on a YouTube clip using one of those electric blades to get the old grout out, but I'd probably slice my finger off with it so reckon I'll stick to the old fashioned way

I think @Buce & @Strokes have worked out that a certain someone was lying regarding their "girlfriend" am I correct?

It's just a lot of photos have come from screenshots, that seem to be being passed off as photos that belong to the person. Seems a bit iffy.

I can't take any credit for it - it was all down to Sherlock Strokes.

There's a special tool you can use for raking out old grout, not too dear. B&Q should sell them.

What's the best when it comes to replacing a fence. Fence spikes or just concrete the posts in a hole? I'll be using wooden posts. It will just be a 6 ft fence in my back garden, nothing fancy.
