I was thinking more in the secondhand market. Would I get a Youngman tower for 6 to £700?

Thanks. I’ll bear all this in mind. Is there a particular scaffold set/tower I should be looking for if my diver is around 600?

Ha! I got that wrong. What is the better option out of steel or aluminium?

Sorry to revive this old thread I posted last year, but I never got around to the job. Reading through the thread it sounds like I want a tower, something better than a ragged old steel or aluminium one, 1.8m width. I’m thinking I’ll buy one second hand, use it to get all my jobs done this...

Thanks. I'll check again when I get home. I couldn't feel or see one, even using a mirror, but I might have missed it.

Can’t see one anywhere.

This is leaking at the handle so I think the ceramic cartridge needs replacing. How do I get to it?

This is the wardrobe.

In the course of trying to get rid of some mould marks I managed to strip parts of the window frame of paint, as per the picture. I’d like to repaint the whole frame. What’s a good solution here? Eggshell white with primer underneath?

We have some built-in wardrobes that look like they’re from the 70s or 80s and we want to freshen them up by painting them in a white eggshell. However I’ve never used eggshell before and I recently had a nightmare trying to use quick drying gloss on some woodwork elsewhere. Is quick drying...

Turned out it was a simple thermostat. Fridge is working fine now. Thanks guys!

So I’ve managed to get inside the unit (had to wait for delivery of the right Torx screwdriver). Which two connectors do I need to bridge to test the part (see pic 1). Also I jumped the gun and bought a part online before seeing the part number inside. I bought a K59 and the original says K57...

Thanks guys. That’s really helpful advice. Can I use literally any wire for the test? Even some from a plug cable? (That’s a he only thing I can think of that I have lying around the house.)

So, I've got answers to these questions: Both fridges are extremely quiet (the good one included), so it's hard to tell, but I can hear an occasional bubbling sound from the black tub thing at the back of the fridge near the floor. There is no click when I turn the temp up and down, but...

Thanks. I’ll try. I can’t see any leaks back there, or ice or dust. Light is on but doesn’t seem to be cooling at all. No idea what it could be.
