hi am just about to start this project with no woodwork experience apart from the usual school stuff. It seems straight forward. plane the wood, screw the boards together, then wax to give it an antique effect. I wont be adding a door as i have a feeling that the frame wont handle the...

Hello. ive bought loads of glass fibre insulation to top up my insulation but now found that the joists are not tall enough to fit anymore insulation in. Ive read about putting battens on top of the joists to increase the height, but i dont understand what a batten is. Do they come in all...

I've looked at some of the posts on this site, and found quite a few for baxi and vokera, soed that mean that they are the most problematic? should i ask him for more choices? or ask him to supply me with a different boiler? I'm really not sure about what to do.

Hi I've been told by my plumber that i have a choice of 2 boilers - a Baxi or a Vokera. Which one is more likely to not cause me much trouble in the future. I didnt understand much of the description he gave me about each boiler. All i remember is that they are bothe combi condensing and...

i don't think the gutter is blocked as there is no water overflowing at any time. thanks for the advice, i'll look into how much it'll cost to get a professional in for the job. Could i do any part of the job myself to reduce the cost?

Hi - i recently bought my problem-addled property about 6 months ago. Another problem thats been evident is that the sockets are sunken into the wall yet at the same time they move around in the wall. (i think this is due to damp and salt deposits in the wall) I have 7 double sockets that...

hi thank you for the detailed explanation. the speed was set to 3. i cant see a thermostat on the boiler with numbers. there is a dial with max min and off. it've turned it so its two thirds up. I've changed one of the rads but the other doesnt have anything to change the flow. i have no...
