    Help...bathroom walls, old plasterboard, what to do

    Thanks ever so much. Well, I don't think he will want to go removing the panels tbh. I mean he might...but it will add considerable cost as I don't think it's something we'd do ourselves, and he'd have to pay someone. Saying that, I do have a lot of time, which is my only real advantage...

    Hello, I'm new and have a sink trap problem

    Hi guys, my name is Sue and I'm having trouble with my sink. Well, two things really. I'll start with the first thing which is the trap. I fitted a new sink into a new worktop, the result being the new waste trap is now about two inches further from the wall than the old one was, and about...
