Corruption is fun. If done properly.

If done badly, it leads to Government.

Ha...if only it was that easy. We have now gone through 2 hammers...4 specialist chisels.....and my sanity. Apparently you can get some electric monstosity but dont want to have to pay someone to do it and dont trust myself with large diy power tools

This is from A DIY forum...


My mother always used a blowlamp to get tiles off a wall. Play the flame in the centre of the tile for a few seconds and you will hear the tile pop away from the wall as the adhesive melts. Be careful, the tile will be very hot! I have used this method on more than one occasion and it worked every time although too much heat will crack the tile first.



Sounds fun - can I come & play???

snags, nice one about the welder, sounds reasonable, what price your piece of mind.... i mean especially if it was the strut that's holding your and Stu's bed up, that had better be extra specially mended prior to holiday time!!!

Marky - if you could actually manage to corrupt Jinky i would pay you a kings ransom. she's so corrupted already it would be impossible!!!

Enough with the breastfeeding chat you lot!!
