    Candy Dryer whirring noise? Video linked

    Hi, can anyone help identify the issue of the whirring noise, from reading up a little I assume it may be likely the drum bearing, Motor, belt or wheel bearings? It's a Candy Condenser Dryer - Model: GCC 590NB I'm guessing all could make a certain noise if faulty but hopefully this noise is...

    How best to fill a chase?

    Thanks Vicky that's what I'll do, just one more question, do I just need to wait the 90-120 Mins or so to dry before I use the Toupret or can it go straight on?

    How best to fill a chase?

    Hi, I'm just after a little advice on how best to fill a chase I have a bag of Thistle one coat gypsum plaster, I have never used that before though I assume as it's called 'one coat' therefore I should be ok to finish, just I read it can be more difficult? I have used finishing plaster...

    Will Zinsser solve this problem or do I need to replaster?

    I had planned to paint/paper the living room this weekend, I knew there were some patches on the wall and had brought some zinsser a couple weeks ago ready for the job but on sanding i'm uncertain if that will solve the issue, particularly the bit to the right of the fireplace? (Photos in next...

    Filling Chase and the rest....

    Hi, Can this be plastered straight onto brick/plastic Conduit or does it need a render first, if so what is the mix ratio. I have a new SDS drill and it was a bit of a learning curve (even on half power the wall was like butter, surprised me a little) ended up with a crack which I attempted...

    How to fill large crack in brick work

    Hi Ken, thanks for your help! There is no tree but there is a large rose bush in my garden in front of the shed and growing over the top of it, there were also bramble type weeds at one point but they have been cleared, the other side is the end of an alleyway and often used as a dumping ground...

    How to fill large crack in brick work

Thanks This is the back garden wall, it's basically the back of my shed though the other 3 walls are not attached, i believe it was caused by plants forcing through, i have cut...

    Cutting solid Wood door, metal inside

    Final update: I cut the bottom, actually a little more than I originally intended to compensate for the slight incline into the shed. The Circular saw made it effortless, sparks flew everywhere but I actually quite enjoyed it and it was like cream cheese compared to the jigsaw. Also I used the...

    Cutting solid Wood door, metal inside

    Hi Mr Chibs, thanks for your advice So do you think there's a possibility that if I continue the current line that I will be cutting all the way through a cross member of the metal frame that runs along the bottom of the door? If so, maybe it would be easier to drop down 1.2-1.5cm and take the...

    Cutting solid Wood door, metal inside

    Thanks for the advice, I wasn't sure if this was just normal framework for a front door tbh, I wanted a heavy duty door for the shed as the last one was more like a gate and it got kicked in quite sometime ago, so my plan is to make it as strong as possible and to fit an alarm to limit the...

    Cutting solid Wood door, metal inside

    Hi, I brought a second hand Wood door for my Shed, It was listed as solid wood and i too believed it was as it is so heavy, I started cutting it and I have hit metal, so I cut a cross section to see what it was. From the pics can anybody tell me if this is likely to run all the way through the...

    Paint coming off wall in patches

    The one in question is in the Kitchen, so probably the least desirable of the 3, only the front living room one is still open but I agree people would generally want the option to use the main one.
