We have a 1930s house with a beautiful arched brick entranceway. This has been filled with a UPVC door that due to the height of the arch is too low for us to replace the carpets or use a doormat. Can anyone recommend suppliers of arched doors (and frames). I'm thinking this would look much...

Evening all :o) Have recently bought loads of decking and 7" x 2" joists from EBay. Joists are too big (would put deck above the door sills), so my plan was to halve them. 3.5" X 2". I already have a patio down, so was going to lift every 2nd flag, giving joist support every 300mm...

Hi all, We've just been burnt badly by a £480 gas bill (only been in house 3 months). Turned TRVs down to 2.5 (so rooms only at 17 degC max), turning boiler off at night and only heating 3 rooms now. But still seem to be using 9 metric units a day!! Which is about £3.50 a day! Doesn't...
