lived in my home nearly a year and don’t recall seeing this in my loft before. The part I touched was however hard and crusty. Thoughts please

Hi. This handle mechanism is worn and feels as if it’s about to break so I wish to purchase a new one. Can someone please name it ?

I cant get a plaster’a to do the internal dividing walls so have decided to plaster board over them as well. I will tape and fill the joints etc as...

Yes its real. It isn’t a free country. Hopefully all the snowflakes here winging about their rights and the blm lot will realise how good they actually have it
