We have a a 50sqm garden that has a ratty looking lawn. I would like to either re turf it or sow grass seeds. My initial idea was to rotovate the area and then either lay some topsoil, seeds and more topsoil or lay turf over the rotovated garden. Or would I be better off Killing all the...

Thank you very much for the detailed reply. This is exactly why I asked the question why to you. I Understand now. Many thanks

Thanks for that. Not doubting you at all but can I ask why- I have seen tiles fixed on top of tiles and would have thought this would be the same? Googling the answer (which we all know is a bad idea) suggests you can if you score the panels and use flexible adhesive. Its not the end of the...

Hi all I am running in some cctv on the outside of the house. I intend to run the cable through 20/25mm metal conduit. These come in 3m lengths, threaded both ends with a joiner. Some of the runs need a T piece to raise a run to a higher camera position, but the length isless than 3m so I need...

Thanks for all the replies and sorry for not replying myself- got caught up with other stuff. I dont need to remove it- I could flip it down, but it would block the hall way- need to come down as its being painted. Thanks all though especially Wayners

Thanks for that- makes the job much simpler than I thought!
