Or 4 me, I guess I am 75% of a standard fat bloke. So I am being paranoid and my floor will be fine, right?

It's not a misprint on my side. That's a PAX wardrobe that's 250 x 62 x 202 cm. She also designed it with plenty of drawers inside.

Hello, Wife wants to buy an IKEA wardrobe whose weight (without our stuff inside of course) is 332kg. The area of the wardrobe is 1.55 sq m, which gives us the pressure of 214 kg per sq m. She wants to place it in a 6 sq m bedroom on the first floor. I am now concerned if the floor will be all...

It's been ventilating for three weeks. This is an ensuite, and I opened the windows in both the bedroom and a bathroom, to ensure strong airflow.

Hello, Three weeks ago I started redecorating a bedroom. I've removed the old wallpaper, cleaned the wall and sprayed Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 as a base coat on the previously unpainted plasterboard surface. I left the previously painted surfaces as is, just cleaned them with soapy water. A...
