Not sure thats really doable... even if it did work... a lot of pebbles and nowhere to bury them all

Hi all, I Have a load of what used to be white pebbles in the area aroundmy decking. They were there when we moved on and have gone black/green now . ive tried pressure washing them and some have come up a bit cleaner, ive tried taking a couple out and soaking them in bleach but that didnt...

Hi we have a problem with our hoover dishwasher where it only seems to be washing in cold water. Ii seems to heat up to dry everything at the end of the cycle and I'm assuming it would use the same heating element for washing and drying so guessing it's not the element. Does anyone know what...

Hi I'm looking to replace a couple of radiators and valves. They have 10mm copper pipes that jut out the wall just above the skirting boards at 45 degrees. Im a bit concerned thatIn order to replace the existing olive and compression nut i think id need to cut the pipe, losing a bit of...

Seems to do the trick ... Maybe not if there's been raining that day though.. but a vac wouldn't work either... you do feel bit of a moron mowing your lawn in November though lol

I have bought a combi blower/vac with the intention of just using it as a vac. Its fine as a vac where all the leaves gather in one corner, but it's not much good where they're scattered across a lawn. What i do now is use it as a blower to blow all the leafs onto the lawn then just get the...

Hi , I've found a couple of wet spots on the the outside of the machine around a lip on the back and the side, along with a build up of fat and grime, sure not if this lip is designed to cope with a small amount of water and it's supposed to drain back into the machine , but cant because of...

Hi , our bosch dishwasher keeps going into flood mode . I have to pull it out and tip it up to drain all the water out if the drip tray underneath the machine every few days to get it to work again. It's happened in the past and the issue was a little plastic screw-in plug in the bottom at the...

Hi. we have a Samsung American style fridge/freezer,( think the model number is RSH1DLMR) that started making a loud noise. I think it's the fan on the refridgerator side ( it stopped when i open the fridge door) . The fan now seems to have stopped altogether. Not even the quiet noise it used...

That does look easier.... wonder how it would cope with a 1600rpm washing machine rattling away on it day in day out

Hi , I'm in the process of partitioning off back of my garage to convert it into a utility room. The existing floor is just a concrete slab. I was thinking of laying a timber frame, insulating between the timbers and laying boards over the top. I was wondering If i should be laying a damp...

I think it would be enough. I could always forget about tbe radiator i had any issues. In terms of installing cables., the shed will be about 4 feet away from the house so will have to run the cable under the path if i come through the external with SWA cable it will have quite a big bend...

ideally id like it to be able a handle an electric radiator in case im out there tinkering in winter, as well as some lights and a couple of sockets for some light power tools. If the radiator changed things dramatically though id do without

Hi I'm looking to build a shed down the side of house, but not sure of the best way to get power to it. I know in an ideal world id have a dedicated circuit from my consumer unit with the cables buried 2 feet down , but my CU is on the far wall of the garage on the opposite side of the house...

I'm not sure how to get into it. It seems like its sealed shut
