Good morning guys this seems to be a relatively common problem. We bought a shed off the internet (Dunster House) had it delivered and I’ve assembled it on a solid base of mot and flags. Since assembling it we have had consistent problems with driven rain penetration, being in the North West we...

Hi guys sorry for starting yet another thread on shed bases but I guess we all have our own problems to overcome. I’m erecting a 10’x8’ shed in between 2 large trees at the bottom of the garden. This has always been a “dead” area due to the tree shading and roots. To overcome the root problem...

Hi there this is my first post here but i've tried all the excellent advice i've seen posted in response to other members queries. My dishwasher has stopped working, regardless of what I try with respect resetting it I always end up with a flashing light at the far right hand (No 5?)...

Hi there after as much advice as possible guys. We bought a house that had been allowed to go to rack and ruin and we have sorted out the interior but ran out of money before the exterior was done so i'm now looking at a DiY job. The external surface is rendered and it has been patched in...
