Get a life Peter

Hi All, I hope someone can help So I laid some reclaimed oak t&g strip flooring 4-5 years ago and having sanded it, filled the numerous cracks with Lecol 7500 made up with 120G wood-dust. I then used Osmo polyx oil to finish the floor. Unfortunately over time most of the Lecol filler has come...

How pathetic. Grow up and find some kind of professional fulfilment in life that means you no longer find it necessary to sit at a keyboard each evening wearing a Asda bought police uniform

Well thanks again to the guys who assisted. Much appreciated Ban- all-sheds- you clearly wasted your own time if nothing else.

Thanks v much guys

Thanks very much for that. Do the reds into the spare block need to go into the same end of the block or can I put one in each end if u see what I mean? Thanks

Hi I hope someone can assist with this lame question. I have what I think is called a ceiling in loop rose (I have two cabe feeds which has two red wires going to the block marked "loop", one black which I think is called the switch wire going to the live block (I say the live block as the...

Matt- Ive pm'ed you.

The floor is about 15-20 years old. Im not sure about the depth over the base- maybe 30-40mm deep. There is a DPM

I would be grateful for any comments/assistance re whether a well intentioned builder has levelled a floor in such a way as to ultimately doom me to failure re the plan to lay a parquet oak block floor. One part of my house is concrete screeded but is approx 30mm lower than the main house's...

TT- Ive just tried to send you a message. Not sure if its worked as never done it before. Couldn't see an obvious PM facility so have done it via your profile

I hope this question is not against the rules but would really like any recommendations for anyone who any forum members knows and can positively recommend for block parquet floor laying that would cover the south east (we live in Watford). I have 55sq metres (over 3/4 rooms) that I would like...

Thanks very much in advance guys as the decision I need to make will probably be the most significant my wife and I will ever make re our 3 bed semi. We currently have a single storey lean to extension attached to the side of the house. It measures 2 metres by 20 metres. Its currently our...

Thanks Masona- had a look at your album- love the stained glass you have done. I havent the time and also dont have anything other than the front door that I could do so I suspect after the tools, materials lessons and time investment it wouldnt be worthwhile- but I love seeing what can be done

Thanks for the replies guys- I agree the price is steep (ive made a lower offer). You do see doors make little money but normally the glazing is ugly or nothing special. Decent period stained glass panels cost £750 plus to have comissioned so it may be marginal

Thanks Big all- so I can take off max 24mm in total off the width and 34mm off the height? This is the door Ive got in mind (bit pricey I admit- but the glass is what weve been looking for for ages) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200360856933&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT...

Thanks for any help in advance I would like to buy an old pine front door which is quite large: 94 cm wide by 214cm high. It is 4.5cm thick. It is constructed using mortice and tenon joints and I would like to take 2-3cm off each side reducing its width to approx 89-90cm and reduce its...

I understand Simond. I guess Im just trying to understand what is the common or accepted practice in this scenario and if there is a right or wrong answer. Ive dones as suggested Holty. Thanks for your input, v helpful

Thanks very much Simond. He didn't really explain why he would do it that way and the raeson we ended up discussing flow rates was because that was what I assumed he must be getting at. I suspect he doesn't really know why he would re-fit 15mm, just that he has been told somewhere along the way...

Apologies in advance for seeming rather vague but I hope those with more knowledge than me will be able to fill in the blanks and will be able to give a view as to who is right in this scenario: Im currently getting quotes to replace my boiler with a combi. The existing system I have is old...
