Hi there, I would like to merge two pictures together, one from roughly the seventies and one from very recent, there is a little damage and colour fade to the older photo and i would like to repair this then cut the person from the old photo and merge this with the new one. Both photos are...

Hi there, I am in the process of propagating 18 Laurel cuttings, all softwood new growth from this year. Cut a 30cm cutting off, shred all but three leaves at the top, dipped in rooting compound and into the sandy cutting compost they went, sprayed a little water, and fingers were...

Hi, I cant seem to find a how to on this site so will ask the question here. I am a moderate DIYer and want to remove a doorway and put an archway in, its an internal door, hollow to the touch so as far as am aware no brickwork involved. I have completed many projects with good success, I...

when you say pin.. do you mean to nail with small pins? wouldnt that ruin the effect wouldnt glue look better? i reckon pinning would be easier but with glue you wouldnt see any nails?

Lovely! Cheers bud.

Quick one.. When laying the underlay to the edge of the skirting can it be firm to the edge or does it have to have a 10mm gap for inclusion in expansion? I know the underlay wont expand or contract like the laminate will but just wanted to check if i could fit underlay firm to the edge...

Matty, you pin offcut laminate to the skirting then leave a gap then put the laminate down? seems an awful lot of offcut to use? how thick is the offcut you use? Also wouldulike, quick one, if the edging is pinned/glued to the floor and the laminate expands, wouldnt that break the edging...

This site never fails to impress. Woodulike-Genius. Cheers mate Wallicio

Right 10mm cool, and you attach the edging to the floor and not the wall/existing skirting? right... Whats the point in the cork expansion strips then are they just a cheap version of spacers? to allow for your 10mm away from the wall?

Hi all, Having quite successfully finished my Decking project thanks to some great advice on Diynot I only thought it wise to get some info on laminate. Right, Im alright with wood but am a laminate virgin, I understand the concept of click laminate the process to put it down etc, its...

oops. thanks for the advice. Feel like a right plum now. lesson learnt.

Hello! I am finally over half way through my decking project and all I have left to do is the decking boards themselves. when fixing the boards to the joists, do the ends of the boards have to be joined to the joist? so if you have boards running after each other half the first board is...

ok fair one. I am in the process of levelling and putting slabs down so the joists can go on top of them. this seems to be the best solution. Thanks for all the help I have received on this topic. And yes your right. do job right first time. understood. Kind regards. Arthur

Thankyou. I wasn't going to run posts, I was just going to put the joists directly onto the weed controller. As my ground is very clay-e im guessing there will be a substantial sink in it when the weight of all the wood goes on it therefor making it stable. Also my garden has a slight...

Do you have to have a ledger? Im starting my decking tomorrow, and have noticed on a lot of posts, people are using a ledger? I guess it attatches the deck to the house and aides stability but is it a neccessity? Cheers Arthur
