Just fitted some LVT in the kitchen and had to cut under some upstairs/side panels to slide the boards under.
Am about to fit the plinths (which I've painted the edges of to give some protection against spills and mopping) but am left with a bare edge on the upstand.
Don't want to silicon it...
Hi
Have recently repointed my west facing (prevailing weather) wall and it all went well.
I'm not sure what to do with the dpc course though. It's slate but has come away with the old pointing in places (I've not raked it out).
It feels like a bad idea to point over it and create a moisture...
That's really interesting. Thanks.
I beefed up the top of the door today with some flat steel strip pop riveted on and it's improved a little but still only high/reliable to get my z4 in and out of the garage, normal car would have no chance.
Will look into the bow arms, the door only needs a...
Hi. Thanks for the reply. Yes, it's a single piece sprung up and over door. I got fed up with getting in and out of the car to open and close it so bought a closer.
It could well be that it's not compatible with my door.
Will add some more pictures. The editor doesn't seem to allow video...
Yes, manually it's all good.
But that's with me pushing the door up or pulling it down.
I tried pulling it (as if I were the opener) and it's doable for most of it but very hard to do for the last foot or two
Hi
I got a Hormann Supramatic garage door opener and installed it according to the pretty dreadful instructions.
The door however doesn't open all the way with the auto opener installed.
Have tried various tensions on the garage door spring to assist and the link bad between the door and...
Hi.
I need to mount a TV Aerial to the gable end of my Chalet Bungalow.
It has particularly unattractive concrete tiles in this portion of the wall (see attached pic)
What is my best bet for mounting brackets to the tiles? I'll be using the big T brackets to spread the load rather than the...
One of the buildings that I look after dates from the 1870s. We have a presumably orginal door that is of 'slatted' construction with boards that are butted up to one another.
There is some separation of these boards now and I'm unsure what would be the best product to fill them with. It...
Hi.
Am looking to change a lock for secuity purposes. It's a commercial building where the encumbants have no idea who has a key!
The lock is an Ingersol Classic nightlatch. The replacement cylinders are about £70!
Can I just use any brand of cylinder and replace the plate the secures the...
Hello
The batteries from my blue bosch drill have died but the drill itself is fine.
Bosch batteries cost nearly as much as a new drill with batteries included.
There are companies offering compatible batteries for a much more reasonable cost, on ebay, amazon and their own websites. I...
Hello
I'm looking to help my friend who's fence blew down recently.
His 'builder' had screwed some 100mm posts to his three courses of block high wall and fixed three ft of feather edge along the top of the wall.
So of course the wall fell over in the recent wind.
I'm planning to help...
We're doing up our downstairs bathroom, the old floor tiles have been removed leaving a fairly uneven surface.
I've removed what I can of the old adhesive but would estimate there is still at least 5mm variance overall.
The wife would like Lino on the floor which as I understand it demands...
