That was my exact thinking :D

At its highest point it will be about 500mm above the dpc of the garage wall... I was thinking of using a DPM sheet battoned to the wall, which would allow the wall to breath and then liqued DPM the wall above this to cover for a splash zone....

Anyone have any thoughts on this???

Hey people, I want to build a raised bed out of sleepers against my garage wall. I only want to build three sides out of the sleepers and butt this up against the actual garage brick wall which would make the fourth side. Now, I know this isn't the best way of doing things, but I have my...

Can anyone confirm that I am correct in my thniking that this should be a very straight forward fix - or am I just making it sound simple in my own head???? The wife is not keen for me to do it - but then again she can see the financial savings that are to be made.

Hello all, New house and job after job after job. We have a small tapping/buzzing sound coming from our kitchen tap, after further investigation by looking at the water meter installed in the pavement outside the house, it appears we have a leak. The meter is constantly going up when...

I have looked up the adapters your talking about - yes these would work but we want to change all our sockets to a brushed metal finish. cant see the adapters with this finish.

Ok, here we go.... I currently have a single socket in my lounge and I would like to make it a double socket for convenience. Is this fairly straight forward to do, and if so how do you do it? I know this is probably a very stupid and easy question.

What about the mounting box??? Is THIS what I will need to use??? The depth is 25mm, so is this still ok???[/url]

Finally moved in to our new house on Thursday, and have started the destructive work already.... In the main bedroom where some very badly fitted built in wardrobes, that incorporated some coving around the edges that were gripfilled or simular to the wall and the wardrobe units. Whilst...

Just found out from Wickes that the doors can be trimmed by 5mm all round. Taking into account what I remember of the door sizes at the property (not moved in yet and only took quick measurements when I visited the other day) standard imperial 762 doors should be able to be trimmed down...

Not overly worried about the weight etc, just the look really. The doors currently in the house are extremely cheap stained and varnished ply doors with horrible Ironmongery, as we need to change all of them (11 in total) we want to get something that is cheap and look nice (as said not...

Im looking to replace all the internal doors in the house we are about to move into. I just want a simple 4 panel moulded door that will be painted white and have found them at Howdens Joinery HERE I have measured the doors at the house and they are no where near the standard sizes...
