No I checked the outlet, its fine and no dampness in the tubing on the outlet side of the extractor fan. I found a photo from a previous post of mine re the roof (unrelated problem) which shows part of the problem (I think). The extractor fan is just above the shower and out of sight. You...

Hi, Can somebody suggest a solution for me? I installed a monrose shower kit, probably the second time. I have just been up in the loft and the loft insulation is sopping wet as is the hardboard around the extractor fan. I lifed up the tubing and tons of water then fell back into the shower...

You can instruct a toddler? Priceless! Any empathetic answers out there?

Hi, Just discovered some massive toadstools in the garden, easily 8 inches across. In my haste, i mowed them and they just went everywhere in pieces. How can i prevent them coming back? The stalks are still in the ground. Whilst i appreciate its a sign of a healthy lawn, i do have two...

Do i have to seal the ends with a anything once sawn?

Unfortunately i have no burning facility. Just bought 6 sleepers for delivery tomorrow, watch this space...

Proper sleepers, 102 inches long, standard size i reckon. Ummhh, advice for sawing? Type? One man job, i hate sawing after a shoulder op last year, you know when you wake up the next day and you cant mov lol! I read a previous thread that you can staple polythene to the under side of the...

Im returning to this with a couple of questions. I am tying to upload photos that are on my ipad but it isnt working, any ideas? Anyway, that wasnt one of my questions! First question - can you manually saw sleepers to the right length, they look quite chunky? Second question - should i put...

Hi, Thanks for all your help. Here are some more photos but from the comments above it sounds like I need a few more of the joints/screws perhaps? I have added a photo of the other part of the loft, it goes round the corner. The strange thing here is that there are no horizontal beams...
