Don't buy Dr Dre , they really are bad , you're just putting money in Dre's pocket for rubbish headphones.

Tom you do realise that BOSE stands for Buy Other Sound Equipment !!

I have found that headphones are a bit like E-Liquids , they seem to be very subjective.What sounds good to one will sound bad to someone else.If you can go along to somewhere where you can listen to some different sets and decide from there.One tip I would give you is take along some of your favourite music ( at the highest quality you can ) that way you can really listen to the differences and see for yourself which headphones sound right for your music choices.

When we bought our house it was almost all woodchip in every room , just different colours , lol.

The best and quickest way to get the awful stuff off is with a steamer and as someone has said if the top layer of plasterboard paper comes off , it was damaged anyway.

The way I prepared the paper was with a stanley knife , just lightly score the paper vertically and horizontally , then go ahead and steam the paper off.A couple of tips I can give you is , FIRST - when steaming  , don't over steam the paper, as it can damage the paper on the plasterboard , just try longer and longer times , E.G try 5 seconds first- then scrape if its tough try ANOTHER section for 7 and so on and son on , then you will know how long to steam and it should fall off very easily with minimal effort with a scraper.SECOND - this is very obvious , but only after you have damaged the wall behind and that is ONLY scape the area you have actually steamed , otherwise you get the RIP and darn it , I ripped the plasterboard again.
When you get the timing right of the steam , it is very satisfying and what looks like a long job , then doesn't take as long as you thought.

As far as a steamer is concerned , get one that has a tank that sits on the floor and has a long hose with a square-ish paddle type thing on the end as it's a lot easier on the arms.

Just to let people know , like decoy and piggy that they are now back in stock with danredjuice .

Yes , I do think paulymeatballs is to blame , otherwise there would be plenty for us , lol

As for the build , it is a small deck , especially compared to a standard 22mm dripper , so it's fiddly , but I use the Rolson Magnifying Visor ( LINKY ) that makes it a lot easier.Also I used a couple of tips which paulymeatballs used which made it a bit easier too.Having said that though , I would say that it must be easier as I have managed to do it first time AND that was with Japanese cotton , which seems a lot more fiddly than ordinary cotton wool.


Better made , I can't comment on that.


Andy

I to would like to know where they are , not for the same reasons as decoy though.

I managed to get ( obviously one of the last ones ) hold of a black  ( I wanted stainless tbh ) one and VERY glad I did , it was my first venture into a rebuildable and is great , especially after several failures with drippers.SO , now I want to get a couple more , or somewhere where I could get one every other week for a little while ?

Any help or links would be good people decoy and I are desparate , lol
