Hi, I'm after a little bit of advice. I did a job around nine months ago for a friend of a friend. The bloke lost his job while I was halfway through doing his bathroom. He told me he was still going to get a final months pay and that he'd give me half the total for my work (£550) and...

I am going to help a friend decorate his house for him in the next couple of weeks. He moved in about 18 months ago and I installed all new woodwork and left him to paint it all. He used a combination of all sorts of differnt gloss, one coat, quickdrying, no runs etc and now it's really...

That's the main benefit of Lion over nicd batteries, they hardly weigh anything and make working so much easier. Personally have my eye on this set - http://www.itslondon.co.uk/pd_MAKLXT202_LXT202_Makita18vLithiumion2PieceKit.htm Just waiting for the price to get closer to the 300 mark.

http://www.silvertrowel.co.uk Am thinking of doing the £350 course. Have got a good basic grip of most trades. Done my apprentaship in Carpentry and have since worked as a handyman - decorating, bathrooms, gardening, tiling etc Anyone have any experience on a course like that or...

Haha slightly yes... He did ask for the best tool!

They are very good quality and very good value. I haven't ever fitted one of their hardwood internal doors but fitted a few hardwood exterior doors and they're fantastic.

Best possible tool is a plunge cut circular saw on rales. It's a massive time saver compared to a plane, I use it on every door even if im just taking a few mm off. Expensive though, my Makita set was about £500.

I am laying laminate on top rather than tiles so I guess that's not so much of a problem.

Any tips? Can imagine it's quite hard. Need to do a small kitchen in a week or so.

Thanks for the tip, will look for some thin laminate. Any idea where I can get some good quality sprung hinges?

My mum has recently moved into a new house and has a rather small kitchen, it's a very strange lay out and has two door ways - one from the hall way which is fine and one from the dining room which is pretty pointless. To create a little bit of extra worktop space my mum wants to put a bit of...

What advice did they give you? Glad it's working out.

Thanks for the advice, have changed a few now to include Hampshire and Southampton in them. Got a £75 free trial so thought I'd give it a go.

Just recently started my adwords account and was wondering which words people get the most clicks and views. I'm in the maintenance game - do carpentry, decorating, kitchens, bathrooms, gardening, brickwork, fencing, decking etc everything really

Have found 2.1m x 100mmx100mm posts for 8.50 and 6ft x5ft panels for 12.50... happy with those prices. Bought both the tools so should make it easier.

Thanks for the opinions. Think I'll go for the 18v Makita Ni-cd impact driver instead for similar money. I did want to hold of getting too many more ni-cd bits rather than li-ion stuff but I think ill get a lot of use out of a impact driver for fencing, decking etc.

I recently bought the 10.8v bosch multi cutter and love it, one of the best tools i've ever bought easily. Was wondering if anyone has ever used the impact driver as you can pick one up body only for £60 or so. What sort of jobs can it do? Seems like it lacks power to do much?

Hi, Am looking for 15 fence panels for a project and have no idea where to go apart from Wickes and they seem quite expensive. Also is it worth picking up either of these : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Faithfull-FAIPHD-Post-Hole-Digger/dp/B0001IWN6A/ref=pd_sim_diy_5...

Awesome. Thanks again.

Oh ok thanks, Ill think i'll go for that one. Am I right in thinking the max size of skirting I can miter cut is 130mm? That should work out perfect as it's 119mm skirting I've bought.
