I forgot to say it stands on the floor. Its very tall to put on a desk.

I have a old a Anglepoise Lamp that I use as a reading light. The bulb went. As it is for reading I would need a bright one. It says on it 100w Max. Is it still possibe to get these or what would be the modern equivalent? Its bayonet fit bulb. I am in the U.K. it stands on the floor. Its very...

My Brother-in-law made me some brackets and fitted them. Problem solved its rock solid now!

Correct its brick lol. I got confused.

These are the Rhino Self Assembly Boltless ones they have no drill holes just slots for the metal tags on the shelves to go into. I got these as not all my books are a standard size and you can adjust the height of them. Yes, its concrete as its a Terraced House and and there is a chimney...

I bought some Rhino Shelves a while ago for my bedroom for books. They are all level and built correctly but the seem to wobble. It was suggested to to me to buy some brackets to anchor them to the wall to stop this. I would need to drill holes in the shelves and then the concrete wall. Its...

I was out in my garden and noticed one of the slabs on my footpath around the lawn was loose. There was some weeds etc underneath. When i had dealt with all that I put it back level. When I was standing on it it cracked down the middle lol. It was not a proper slab but poured concrete I think...

Got some splots of Blockade on the slabs under the dust sheet. Best way to remove them?

The Blockade seems to have done the trick! Cheers!

Thanks for this. Where can I get it and is it expensive? I only need a small tin.

I got some cheap Rhino Shelves to put books on in my bedroom. The MDF shelves on them stink! lol How can I get rid of the smell? Someone told me something about vinegar. Thanks :)

How much would this be for a Plumber to fix? Any Ideas? Thanks I have never replaced Inserts, pistons etc so have no idea what to buy or how to do this.

"I have a problem with the Mixer Tap in my Kitchen. The Cold Tap seems to be slipping and won't turn off with a single turn. Is this just a washer that needs replacing or do I need a whole new tap? If its just a washer how do I open the tap? I have done this years ago but forgot what I did lol...
