Will be the last time I use a self service checkout 😒
Excellent video; clear and informative with the two crucial tips about seating the washer and cleaning finally solving the issues I had been having! I will note that for the Caroma Hi-flow style mechanisms, I only had success when allowing the (official spare clear /thin) washer to flare up off the plastic base. Given it's meant to seal with the outlet and not the plastic part, this makes sense.
Thank you for sharing 😊👍
Bravo. Grazie from Italy
Prego
Thank you! The best methods yet.
You are most welcome 😊👍
awesome--thanks!
You are most welcome 👍😊
This is exactly my toilet 😅. So grateful 🥳
You are most welcome 😊👍
Thank you
You are most welcome 😊👍
My tag didn’t start to separate by turning like yours did, so your method did not work for me. I was able to cut the back disk down to the center with the wire cutters, then was able to fit the wire cutters around the pin. But it took lots of cuts and took a toll on the fabric.
Well done 😊👍
I have reasonably good luck with my crispy crackling on pork by starting off properly preparing pork. First remove that mesh thing and use a sharp blade (knife or kitchen only box cutter/stanley knife to cut through rind but not the meat. Rub in cooking oil of choice (I use Rice Bran oil but reg olive oil sounds okay) rub in the salt so it goes all over rind, especially in the cuts. Start oven at closer to 215 degrees celsius for 30 minutes and then reduce heat to 180 and cook the rest of the time required by the size of your roast. 10 minutes before end of cook time check and if not crackled enough turn oven to grill mode (still at 180 degrees). Then if roast is ready remove from oven and crackling should be perfect or close. If crackling isn't quite there remove from roast. I return crackling to oven under grill for another 5 to 15 minutes, checking every 5 minutes... or you could try putting paper towel wrapped plate of crackling in microwave oven at about 70 percent power for 30 seconds. Pull out, will crisp up even more once cooled.
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge 😊👍
built my own cabinets this was a life saver thanks m8
You are most welcome. Well done 😊👍
Very well explained ! Thanks it helped a lot
You are most welcome 😊👍
I’m adding a new floor which is a bit higher than the original. Can you cut the height of these ikea toe kicks. Or is there another solution? Thank you
I don't know of any other solution, I have cut them before. As long as you do not damage the slot that the retaining clip fits into. Not a nice job, good luck 😊👍
Hi. Quick question. Which side the groove side will be. Up or down?
Good question, I don't really know but would suggest groove side up?
Good question, I don't really know but would suggest groove side up??
VERY useful. Was about to throw the PC through the windows....Did you see what I did there.... ahhhh Never mind.🤣
I know very frustrating 😊👍
To find the studs in the wall, I just use a strong magnet. It will stick to the drywall screws. Works like a charm.
Thank you for sharing 😊👍
This video and the earlier one showing how you and Ann make the drawers are both excellent. I found the supplied instructions quite confusing in places but these videos made the whole process a breeze. IKEA should just put a link to your videos and save a ton of paper!!
Thank you for your kind words, much appreciated 👍😊
Awesome content! Really enjoyed this! Cheers Mario!😀

Thanks for the video mate! I'm in Kentucky, USA and no one around here has any experience with Caroma cisterns. I bought this years ago when dual flush was new here in the States and Caroma was the best at it. But I've had a time getting my new washer to seat properly. I'll try your advice and see how it goes. g'day!
well, looks like the soap and knife trick made it work. I also had not been really careful to keep the washer placed uniformly around the seat - it was mishapen a bit - I sorted that all out and it seems to be working. Thanks again - it was a real help - I love my 20+ year old Caroma and didn't want to replace it!
Well done 👍 Thanks for your feedback
Hey granpa its works :)) thanks
You are most welcome 😁👍
Could you talk any slower?😊

Thanks for this. I've been hating looking at the doors for years. It looks much better. It could probably use taking apart and squaring off the cabinets, but I'll leave that for some young person; I just can't go through that🙂. It's in a closed off room.
Well done, you are welcome 😊👍
Thanks so much for this, particularly the information on the screws. I'm finally going to secure mine.
You are most welcome 😊👍

Thank you. Good clear instructions. Been stressing about getting a plumber. 😊

Thanks Pro

IKEA have done a really good job with these Metod plinths. Unfortunately, I have the old Faktum plinths which weren't nearly so easy to fit! I'm just about to start replacing the doors and side panels of my old Faktum units. I'd planned to replace the plinths too, but they're in decent condition so I've decided to prep them with ESP and then paint. A lot of the clips have broken, but they're still available on eBay, thank goodness. Quite a bit of work, but easier than cutting new plinth pieces to size and faffing around with the dreaded iron-on tape!
Good luck with your project 👍😊
Muy bueno. Gracias por compartir
Eres muy bienvenido👍😊
Really appreciated it! I was going crazy about this.
Glad it helped!👍😊

Wanted to say thanks Matt. You video helped a lot and it was the same type as my toilet. Saved me from having to replace the whole unit.

Method #4. Put the larger hole saw through a scrap of anything and secure it over the previous hole. Now the hole saw will be piloted by the rim. It doesn’t need to be concentric. Pilot blocks can be used with all kinds of drills.
Thanks for sharing 😊👍
Thank you so much for this explanation. Wasn't sure if we were going to need to replace the whole cistern as we couldn't figure out how to undo the bottom bit to get the washer off without breaking it. Details where crystal clear a $3 washer and no more leaks. You are the best.
Well done, you are most welcome 😊👍
As everyone has said, this was a terrific video. I followed your instructions carefully, and it worked like a charm!. Thank you so much!
You are most welcome, well done 😊👍
Thank you so much for this great video & instructions. Finally repaired a long standing leak by watching this. Cheers mate
