I know people rave about this sander, and I know why because it's just an excellent beast :D To recap: it's dual orbit 150mm made by Metabo ,fairly sure the best stuff there is if you don't have 400 to drop for mirka/festool. So thought would give heads up to anyone who's in market for a...

I know this is a long-shot, however worth a try. My gearbox for dhp458 is slowly going/acting up and I know the drill won't really last for long, but that's ok as I have used&abused that drill and used it as mixer almost every other day and it has given me a good service for 4years. I'm slowly...

I wanted to get 2 oak worktops ( about £150/each unfinished for a bit better quality 40mm wide staves), however I got offered 2 beech worktops now for £62/each which seems like a bargain. This is for rather low budget kitchen refurb and I'm making everything myself but wanted to get better...

I see there are loads of charities for all kinds of reasons and I see all of them are banking really hard. How do you start one and which do you think is the best to make the most monies? For example I have seen the clothing collection charities giving away about £20-£50 per ton of clothes they...

Few years ago I thought it's just a gag, but nowadays every DIY store and other such stores seem to stock small packs of seed potatoes. I'm seriously confused, Do people really don't know they can take any regular potatoe they like from any store and plant it in ground? :D 3.99 for 1.5kg of...

I used to get it from homebargains myself as it was something around 60p for a 50m roll , but they no longer seem to stock it. Was wondering where do you guys get yours from? screwfix/toolstation charges just stupid prices for it, and I tend to go through a lot of it so was thinking of just...

So I wanted to buy some new, however I realize I don't...

Was about to start installing some new ceiling lights and skimming some nasty artex ceiling in kitchen refurb but I have always liked the look of exposed wood beams.Since I will be redoing the ceiling might as well do something extra. Plan was to get some cheap 3x7 chunky joists from local...

I always chuckle when someone just says that name, seriously what's so ''luxury'' about it? Vinyl flooring has been the cheapest junk you can get for god knows how long. Now someone makes it in smaller/easier to lay format and calls it "'luxury'' and everyone spends insane amounts of $ on it...
