I know it’s a small gain but it would make a big difference to our (my wife’s) life. I have uploaded a photo...

    Raised bed anchor

    Hi, I am building a raised bed along the rear fence line. I am wondering whether it would be ok to anchor it to the ground using a metal sleeper bracket rather than using concrete. It will have 3 sides and be about 1.5-2 foot deep

    Managed to put a crack in my white Blanco Silgranit sink. Anyone have any experience repairing a similar material? I am thinking of using some sort of resin (araldite or similar) and sanding down. I thought blanco would of sold some sort of repair kit but they dont.

    Most likely some removable fabric on the top. Nothing growing. Faux leaf trellis on the sides maybe. Possibly using 90-100cm pots.

    Chrome rectangle box section

    Its a bit too late to change the pipework. Tiles are down. Well the flexi were supposed to be temporary but as the hot and cold are switched i may need to keep them on flex. I might just get used to having the hot on the right and cold on left and use regular pipe covers
