    Shower tray installation

    Yeh I know that now, I replaced that shower and old tiles that I had put up 10 years before and they were B@stards to get off and were bone dry underneath and they were 150x150 so loads of grout lines compared to the new ones at 400x250. How come they dont tank in new builds

    Grinder dust extraction

    The point is that you still have it after 50 years, I very much doubt that your Dyson will last 50 months. We had one too at home (hover) and I inherited it for DIY work until I destroyed it with brick dust, one of the issues with it was that it kicked out air under it - blowing everything...
