thanks. Will give it a go this weekend.

Yes, its a henderson merlin mk 2. Torsion bar at the top. So, I have the door in the closed position and unwind the tension first ? cheers.

Hello, I've got a side opening garage door coming to replace my up and over garage door and I'd like to remove the old one without maiming myself. I've spent some time googling and still not 100% sure on what to do. If I have the door in the open position and detach the side bits, does this...

Hi, I posted this a year ago. Still looking to try and do this if possible. This is one reply I got: Can I change the colour of my imprinted concrete driveway? Hello, I have an imprinted concrete driveway in terracotta. Is it possible to change the colour with one of your stain products Yes...

I don’t think it is that easy. Are there any roofers on here that could confirm this ? As far as I understand it, each tile is individually nailed from the top to the bottom. To add another course or two, all the tiles would need to come off. Hence why the builder does not want to do it.

You’re right. I believe that they have rushed into it without thinking and setting out correctly. The ply they’ve used goes down further on the side. Could they have combatted this by putting setting out better/using an extra bit of ply around the bottom/battening onto the brickwork ?

Thanks for the replies. How would you fix this ?

I’ve had a small extension built on the side of my house. I have vertical tiles and I’m not happy with the way it has been finished as the tiles are not level and I’ll be sitting in my garden looking at it in the summer ! My builder says he is happy with what his roofers have done. I’ve spoken...

Hi, after some advice. I have a terracotta imprinted concrete driveway and would like to alter the colour to grey if possible. I've spoken with a couple of companies - one says that it is not recommended as it might damage the drive, the other says it is fine through use of a solvent based...

Ok thanks. So if the fence is mine & my neighbour doesn't mind the overhang, I could potentially use the fence panels as a wall and build some type of roof across the space and put a gate on it. Or build a shed to put it in the space. What do you think would look better ?

Yes, I think we own the fence. Not 100% sure on that though. How would you go about building the shed ? Buy a flat packed one and adapt it or build from scratch ? Thanks

Hi, I would like to turn this space into a shed to gain some more storage space. IMG_1815[679].JPG IMG_1818[686].JPG What do you think would be the best way to do this ? The other side of the fence is a neighbour's driveway. Any ideas greatly appreciated ! thanks

Thanks jobandknock - always useful to get confirmation.
