Washbasin Plugs - Push Type - How to Adjust or Remove

Okay, done it.

If anyone else needs to know, there are two types (at least).

The better type unscrews which reveals a slot headed screw to remove the piston assembly - mine isn't this type.

The other type requires you to grasp hold of the plug when open and pull upwards really hard. Harder than you would normally be preapred to do for fear of breaking it - mine is this type.

I found out when trying to remove Mr Bodge Its work I indvertantly grabbed hold of the plug whilst pushing up from underneath. The assembly didn't budge an inch thanks to Mr Bodge Its silcone but the plug came off in my hand.

And yes you've guessed it, the plug was full of rotting hair and soap from my 14 yo daughter - lovely.

Don't be so quick to bash the plumber.

Fair enough but whenever we have had plumbers do bathrooms they take the parts out of the box (showers, taps, mixers etc) to do some initial fitting and measuring. Understandable enough but they never put them back neatly in the box but leave them spread wherever they left them. It's a wonder they find any of the fittings.

And don't bother asking for the manual and paperwork for the £250 shower mixer when they have finished - "err, threw it away mate, didn't think you would want it"

Cheers,

Nigel

Prosecutor says two attackers stabbed NMSU student to death | Lubbock Online

ALBUQUERQUE {AP} Crime scene evidence suggests New Mexico State University student Carly Martinez struggled with two men before she was murdered, prosecutors told jurors at the trial of Jason Desnoyers. The 18-year-old student was driven to a remote Las Cruces mesa , was stabbed more than a dozen times in the head, chest, abdomen, back, thighs and buttocks, and her body was "left to rot" in the desert, District Attorney Susana Martinez said Tuesday. Two weapons were used, a single-edged knife and another instrument, said prosecutor Martinez , no relation to the victim. "Two weapons, two men," she said. Desnoyers, 24, is charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy, tampering with evidence and criminal solicitation. Co- defendant Jesse Avalos , 26, is to be tried separately in September on similar charges. Defense attorney Gary Mitchell contends there was only one weapon. He said Avalos wore a belt with a knife, screwdriver and other tools the night Carly Martin

Black Frame Showers – Sophisticated With Modern Industrial Flair

Image
The showers that have black frames have a very distinctive look. They are defined by clean lines and a certain level of industrial beauty combined with modern simplicity. Black frame showers are pretty unique in this sense. They can be integrated in a variety of different types of decors. View in gallery View in gallery A black frame shower can be a main feature in a guest bathroom. In this particular example, the shower’s frame matches the frame of the wall mirror and that of the painting displayed on the wall. This way the décor becomes cohesive. What’s lovely here is the fact that the black elements are complemented by a white backdrop.{found on Maxwell and company}. View in gallery A similar type of cohesion is featured here where the shower enclosure is closed off with a glass and metal wall and a door that perfectly completes the grid. The sink vanity has the same type of graphical design, featuring a thin black supporting frame .{found on diespeker}. View in gallery In a lot

Stay in a Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO

Image
Set on a hilly incline and designed by architects Peter and Lukas Jungmann, the cabin appears to hover above ground like some sort of alien object—a stark contrast to its pastoral environment and the traditional Austrian chalets that surround it.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 1 of 11 -" /> Because of its irregular, otherworldly form, and how it seems to be suspended in midair, the cabin was named "Ufogel," which is a melding of the acronym UFO and "vogel," meaning bird in German.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 2 of 11 -" /> Available for rent through Urlaubsarchitektur, Ufogel’s exterior is covered in rustic Austrian-style shingles, but its sharp angles and asymmetrical shape gives it a distinctly futuristic, nest-like look.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 3 of 11 -" /> Within, the split-level, 485-square- foot space acc
