Hi, our kitchen sliding door was broken and we wanted some more space near the back of our kitchen for cabinets so we have fitted a new french door in our kitchen that is 25cm less in width than the old one. We filled the gap with a wood framing, plasterboard on the inside, some left over...

Hi everyone, I'm planning some renovations and need advice on the permissions and regulations involved. Here are the details of my project and some specific questions I have: Current Situation: I have a concrete sectional garage. There's a small walkway between my house and the garage leading...

Hi, I finally have some time to tidy up the front garden, and one of my first projects is to rebuild the side entrance to the garden and garage. I have several unused marine plywood panels and thought of creating something more substantial than just a fence for the front (see attached...

there will not be any visible supports . The frames will be horizontal, as in the 3D model render in previous post.

I guess not fully floating, because of the 3 walls it can have support from, so i hope it would be pretty stable.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Is there an easy way to check what weight they would support. I guess i will need to check the data specification sheet and try to work that out... From the looks of what I can see, they are meant to support a heavy load. I didnt plan to remove the arial or...

Ah I believe this house is 1950s but how do resin fixings work out of curiosity? What kind of screw is needed? I'll do some research.

Thanks i went online (and actually to the shop to take a look for myself) and It looks very promising. Seems like a good fit for purpose. Looked at these or variation of these (90mm) because my timber would be 2x3(37mm thick)

And yes the cable there goes outside in this case

The idea was as follows: 1. The bench would be slightly higher than the rough example in the post description. 2. The bench would be about 10-15cm above sockets but ofcourse id be extra cautious with any area there. There is a socket that's quite low hidden behind the breast. I'm quite sure it...

Ah nice, if I understood correctly then something like this should work? Is there a min distance that a bolt should be in the wall? Thanks for the help!

Hey, Been reading a lot online and I originally thought it would be a simple answer but doesn't seem like it. What screw would I be best off using for fixing wood frames to the brick wall so it can support a persons weight (or 2)? Leaning towards regular frame fixings but others are...

Incase anyones wondering, heres the result. Took a few layers of easyfill to get it flat. Didn't rush it.
