    Pocket hole jig

    It makes sense, I haven't consider this scenario. But I am a DIYer and most of the furniture I am planning to make would be built-in, so no taking apart or moving around. Still enthusiastic about using a pocket hole jig :) Thank you JobAndKnock (and the others) for the useful information. Might...

    Pocket hole jig

    I thought one of the pros of pocket holes is that you can take the furniture apart if needed.

    Pocket hole jig

    I don't know why but found the same information on other web sites. Several people mentioned that their cordless drills were not up to the challenge, they had to have more goes with the cordless than with the corded drill.

    shall I put these radiators back?

    Hi folks, We started refurbishing the house and took the radiators off so that the walls could be plastered and painted. Unfortunately we had to move to my MIL house due to her illness and couldn't go on with the project. The radiators have been off the walls for about an year. Is it...

    Neighbour, fence, rottweiler

    Attach chicken wire to the trellis, it doesn't cost a fortune. Depending on the width and size of cells, a 10 m roll is between £8 and £17. If you are going to stay there for more than a year, plant some ivy, it grows quickly and will cover the fence.

    Requesting feedback from electricians...

    Are you going to post this topic in every section of the forum? I've already read it in the plumbing section. As a customer I would be very reluctant to call a trade person just because they are free at the moment. I would prefer someone recommended by people I trust. The only exception could...

    Fitting Outdoor Light Indoors

    Do you mean there will be no ceiling light and you will have one wall light instead? I have lived in a room with similar arrangement (2 wall lights) and it was quite dark. After a couple of months we installed a ceiling light, which made a massive difference.
