lovely, thats alot of practical information for me to get cracking with. I'll roll my sleeves up and have another look at everything, if I remember correctly, the cistern was changed,and if so, I doubt the pan was.... Anyway, I'll have a good look and come back. Much Obliged.

Hello, I've received excellent advice on this site for my Garden Project, thanks. Now im planning on re-decorating my Bathroom. Here is the Problem. Our Toilet has always had problems flushing. We haven't lived here that long, but since moving into our house me and the Miss have never...

Greetings to all !!! Ok, I have a finalised plan, a pallet of Bricks, bags of Cemet, and the tools needed to build my Shed.... I have a question about the foundation. I've been told three things so far and I'd like your opinion: FIRST, I was told that I should dig 6 inches deep...

LOL, much obliged mate. I been on the phone to (not sure if I can say who on this site, but it begins with J and ends in N ) about the Bricks and it could be anything from 25p to 40p per Brick depending on my choice, and after speaking with you it'll be less bricks, more like 500. which...

Yeah, Good Thinking. What I'll probably end up doing is attaching some kind of Heat Resistant Garden Feature on the Fence above the fire. Im sure the Missus would love that. I was only considering the extended Bricks to protect the fence. I'll scrap that from the design and drill something...

Thanks for replying Mate. Yeah, 600 Bricks ! I'll describe it a lil so you can picture it. At the back of our garden we have a small Brick wall, its 3 bricks high and 25 wide (approx) 75 bricks total. I want to build another 7 courses (if thats the right term) above these 3, so...

Thanks for reading, I'll keep it simple.... We've got a lovely paved garden in our new home and the Missus now wants a BBQ and SPACE FOR STORAGE.... I've designed it and its gonna take 600 Bricks approx. Feel free to look at the Photo i've attached in the GARDEN PROJECT ALBUM. Its a...

I'm building a Brick BBQ and a Space for STORAGE.<br><br>Its going to take 600 Bricks in total.<br><br>This is a VERY rubbish picture of the PLAN.<br><br>I'll call in a carpenter to build a Lid for the Storage Space, I already have Grates for the BBQ.<br><br><br>

The first time I went in search of the stopclock I needed to replace a washer on a leaking cold tap, so I turned a valve in the loft OFF, emptied the tank and roberts your mothers brother. There was no running water anywhere in the house till I turned that valve back on and filed up the tank...

Cheers you lot, But now you've got me curious whether there IS a stopclock under there as I always assumed there wasn't cos I couldn't see one. The wires on the tap disappear from view so hopefully they're connected to a stopclock thats now hidden by the kitchen unit. I'll find out soon enough...

Much Obliged! :idea: Now I just need to grow a second elbow so I can bend my arm up and behind my sink to unscrew the taps... Cheers

Might sound stupid to the Pro's, but i've just had a look at the kitchen sink I want to move and i've noticed green and yellow wires attached to the hot and cold pipes underneath the sink. Closer inspection revealed a metal tag which says "Electrical Safety Connections DO NOT REMOVE" Emptying...

Yep, but other than that my DIY project should work out fine? Perfect.

Just moved in and my existing kitchen sink is fine, just want to move it about 1 metre along the same wall to the right. Any of you experienced gents have any advice??? I plan to disconnect the waste and the taps, remove the sink, move the unit/cupboard 1 metre along the wall, put the old...

Much Obliged! :D Cheers

I'D LIKE SOME EXPERIENCED ADVICE ON HOW BEST TO: STRIP layers of paint off a brick wall withour poisoning myself PREPARE the brick wall for coating. COAT the wall with water-proof, transparant, glaze-effect type stuff. As you might have noticed I'm not sure what to coat the bricks with...

Thanks - That makes sense. I CAN run the ducting flat across the ceiling, so I guess I would attach the hood to the wall, leave a small space at the top for the hose, and then use ducting to hide the hose running from the top of the hood to the hose? One other question, whats the diameter...

Ello, I need some advice for my next DIY project - Installing a cooker hood with out destroying the house. Heres the problem. If you picture the cooker in front of you, the only wall I have leading outside is to your left - So the hood needs to be attached to the wall opposite you and the...
