Hi folks I am in need of someone to hang me 50mts of wallpaper in the BL7 (Bolton area) The paper is approx 40mts anaglypta and 10mts patterned to plasterboard walls. Happy to pay someone but it needs to be a decent job and to be honest my own papering skills just dont go anywere near...

Hoping some of you good folks might be able to give me some good ideas on this 1. I have an outward opening door on the rear of my building and have been broken into via it for the second time this week. What i am looking for are some good ideas of how to secure it. The door is outward...

Its looking like i am going to have to turn the power off and have a look inside. might be a while before i can do this as some equipment that has re start problems when shut down is also run from this supply and to be honest the bloke who labeled the fuse box up must have been drunk when he did...
