My shed doors are over-engineered but I used 4x2 and made overlap joins with a powered mitre saw and a chisel. Totally DIY-able I then used the same log-lap in the main body to make the doors. It was thick log lap so i have no exposed screws on the outside. I will admit that the doors have...

First things first. Show your neighbour these photos... What do they think? Tet

I have a bedroom door lining that my professionals left unfinished in my '24 refurb. The door is a lovely fit but light leaks out of the boiler and digital shower control cupboard that it services. I need to put in some door stops. I have a load of ply of various thicknesses but was wondering...

Is there a reason that your flue is that tall - have the regs changed in the last 18 months? Regards Tet (Wondering if I have to retrofit or am grandfathered in)

Thank you Worked perfectly, first time Regards Tet

I've fitted my own garage roller doors. The instructions for are fairly comprehensive and the internal switch is fine and I've successfully paired the remote I need to fit an external Key Switch I have been supplied with and I wanted to check that my proposed wiring is correct. Pictures below...

Tried to check my 'stats this morning to find that all of them had lost their connection to my hub - anyone else seeing the same? I've tried to reconnect one but no joy so far - I haven't taken my network back to 2.4Ghz and I'm going away for a couple of days so I'm now going to have to leave...

This sounds like it is a problem for the original plumber to solve - dependent on how recently "recently" is Regards Tet

I'm not sure I agree with that. Let me throw a genuine use case at you. Elbow under floorboards through a drilled hole to enable a copper pipe to be a radiator tail If the fitting is uncapped then lifting the radiator can compress the collar and release the fitting, the cap would largely...

I'm very impressed by these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07WMRJP8R?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title Magnetic and USB rechargeable, just had my second one delivered today Regards Tet

I have battens, but I have a void as well. If I fix my bracket with coach bolts for instance then I will be tightening the bracket and crushing the void. I'm looking for a spacer to directly compress the bracket onto. In theory I could do it with a dozen or so large washers, I'm thinking that a...

Update: Those Geefix fixings....I drilled my first hole and hit a batten, tried a second hole, metal stanchion. third hole - bingo! another batten There is a small void between the plasterboard and the batten, so direct fix is out as the plasterboard will flex and I now have a 1" hole so a...

The bracket they supply folds up to fit within the back of the TV itself - It's really neat, though there isn't enough swivel for my uses. I've actually bought the same TV Tet

I received my Geefix fixings and a brand new 25mm hole drill in the post yesterday. I am very impressed on how they feel out-of-the-box. The plastic from which they are made is very rigid and they look substantially made Regards Tet
