Yes that sounds like it might take a fair amount of time too. I saw there was some OSMO paint stripper and wondered whether that might work?

Good morning. I’m trying to rejuvenate my cedar fence. I oiled it with OSMO UV protection oil a couple of years and the colour has faded slightly. Is there a product I can use to remove the existing oil from the cedar panels as it’s taking a long time to sand? Many thanks, E

Hi again, I’m just about to embark on phase 2 of the garden landscaping and looking for some advice. I’m planing on building a kitchen garden area with raised beds (see photo) and because of the garden slope am planning on using sleepers as a retaining barrier. I’m planning to use Oak for...

Hi, I would like to buy a set able timer for the hose. I already have two timers but they don’t do what I want. All I want to do is to be able to set a on time and an off time for about 12 hours, to supply the cat water jet sprayer. So literally a valve with an on and off time. I can’t for...

And take the washer out of the new one?

Next question....Can someone point me in the direction of the correct washers for the fitting please?

I will try another seal. Many thanks.

The leak is coming from the grey adapter because I cannot screw it home as it hits the underside of the tap. Seems like the tap is a terrible design. Maybe I can change the tap. I have tried PTFE tape but to no avial. Maybe another washer or two could work.# If I buy a new tap do I just unscrew...

Good evening, I have an outside tap with a 3/4"thread. I'm trying to set up outside irrigation and the timer connector is 1". It comes with a 3/4" to 1" adapter which I thread on as far as it can go. The connector leaks and I initially thought i was a problem with the connector itself however...

That looks like it’ll do just the job. Many thanks.

Hello! I bought a domed, wood fired pizza oven last year. Inside the base is made up of tiles with some kind of mortar between them. There is a little bit of mortar missing between two tiles and I want to fill it before using for the first time. Can someone recommend what mortar I should be...

Thanks guys. In the end I have found a plug cutter and bore set from screwfix. Looks like it will do the job. I will report back. I can then cut the dowels from the cedar I'm using

Hi everyone, Well...I'm now 5 years into landscaping the garden and currently making a cedar bench. I'm looking to screw the cedar edge panels together with a 9mm countersink (as shown in the image). Then I'm planning to glue and dowel to cover up the screws and provide a flush look to the...

So…I’ve been quoted £700 to render the wall in the photo. Seems expensive to me but I have no experience. What do people think?

I’m going to apply corner beads on the corners etc. at the base of the wall should I install a stop bead or just render to the foundation? I can see a benefit of having a bead there as I’ll be able to easily run the straight edge over the wall by putting it across the top corner head and the...
