    Ladder on pitched roof advice

    Well, at least that's a more accurate answer for my question; thank you. I presume you are suggesting that because the metal ladder could likely damage some tiles.. which is what I was getting at with my question!

    Ladder on pitched roof advice

    [/url] No, I already have a similar ladder to that for various work in the house; I've never used it in the configuration used on that youtube clip, nor would I really have any need to - and certainly doesn't apply to putting it fully vertical and leaning against a shallow roof incline which...

    Ladder on pitched roof advice

    Frighten you as in it might damage the roof, or might damage me? I'm not worried about me - pitch is about less than 30 degrees, from flat! Even if I fell off the ladders, I would fall onto a substantial flat roof. Is there any advantage of a cat ladder over my ladder in terms of possible...

    What material for bath panel?

    Hi all! Simple advice, I hope... what should I use to make a basic bath panel? The wife doesn't like the acrylic ones, and as the bath is only a 1500mm I can't find a wooden bath panel of that size in the regular stores (prefer not to order online for this, and now need it quickly). I live in...

    uPVC Door - "Cut and Shut" is OK?

    Hi folks - Sorry if this isn't in the right area... I'm really not sure where on the web to post this. We had a uPVC back door fitted by a company. They made an error and supplied the unit with a fanlight above, rather than an open-able window. They returned to correct this, but it appears...
