Hi, If you intend spending around £200 I would go for a bigger storage chest than the one you mentioned. I recently built a storage shed which is roughly 4' x 3' x 4' high with front access (double doors) and contrary to what I had thought, it's really not big enough for my needs...

Shingles certainly look good toptec, I will seriously consider those, thanks.

Thanks for that Symptoms!

Over the years I have put felt on the roofs of a shed and a couple of hutches but never been entirely happy with my efforts as the felt never looks really flat and tidy. Also, the corners are not as neat as they could be. :( Obviously I am doing something wrong and wonder if someone could take...

LOL! :lol:

I appreciate what you are saying and don't doubt that you are correct. However, I have seen path panels in luxury flats (which were presumably built to a high spec) and were held on with screws which had stainless steel caps. Having said that my own feeling is that secret fixings would leave a...

Thanks aardvark, much appreciated.

When I stripped the wallpaper -using a steamer - off plasterboard walls, I accidentally pulled off bits of the plasterboard paper leaving brown bits showing, and the tape that was on the seams (this looks just like masking tape). The whole place looks a mess and I wondered if I could just cover...

Good idea but I can't seem to find anybody in my area who supplies anything wider than about 500mm and I don't want to have joins everywhere. I read another post that suggested approaching one of the companies who build kitchen units but I think the cost would put this project beyond its...

A friend's cistern, w/h basin and bath were boxed in some time ago with t&g timber. Unfortunately whoever did it nailed everything together so if there are any plumbing problems the woodwork has to be demolished to gain access to the pipework etc. On top of which, my friend just isn't happy with...

I received a message from a friend to say "the door came off and came to bits and I managed to put it back together and on, but I must have done it wrong as when I switch it on nothing happens, although the light comes on. I think there must be some safety mechanism by which it won't go if the...

Seems like a good idea! Thanks.

Took delivery of a new Servis FridgeFreezer today. Had to change the hinges and handles round as the doors wouldn't open fully due the position of a worktop. Anyway, not a problem until I dropped one of the doors and it sustained several dents. :cry: I phoned Servis to price a replacement...
