    What to expect to pay for single garage roof

    Good evening. So I have a single garage, felt on top of ply boards, it leaks. I patch it up when I can, ideally it needs to be replaced, but it's having the time to do it these days. What would I expect to pay to have it removed, boards replaced with OSB 3 and the covering with EPDM? Thanks.

    New Paint Roller

    I picked up my Revolution roller today and one of their Power Lock extention poles. Look and feel real good and not really expensive either.

    New Paint Roller

    With Dove and Colossus sleeves for a flat smooth finish on walls, which pile do you use?

    New Paint Roller

    Thanks guys. Yep, I want one for smooth walls and ceilings, to give a nice flat smooth finish. Will take a look at the Colossus and the White Dove. I'll order a fame and a few sleeves at the same time and get cracking within the next few weeks.

    Valspar premium

    That's odd, I wonder if the walls were contaminated? I've used Valspar and was very happy. I used it to paint some MDF shelves which were primed with Zinnser 123.

    New Paint Roller

    I want a new paint roller, I'm going to treat myself to a Purdey. My current roller is worn, so the sleeve wanders off....... Any Purdey fans here? Is Revolution a good one to go for?

    Clumsy Fibre Install damaged wall

    This is another modern day example of the over use of the word 'engineer'.

    2007 Fiesta 1.4 Petrol Cam Belt Change

    So long as you get it all on correctly and timed up properly, nothing to be too nervous about really. I always make tippex marks on the old belt and the pulleys and transfer them to the new belt to aid lining them up. On your car in particular, I can't offer exact advice, but it often requires...

    2007 Fiesta 1.4 Petrol Cam Belt Change

    It's amazing the cost of cambelt replacement, depending on where you go, anywhere between £400-£600. I do mine myself. A couple of hours and I've saved hundreds of pounds.

    2007 Fiesta 1.4 Petrol Cam Belt Change

    Yes it probably is worth changing it, though I don't know the intervals on one of these. If the belt broke, you would have bent valves and possibly worse damage.

    Wheel Alignment.

    Yes, I know, but I hadn't moved the vehicle at all. As I said, my friend's kit works a treat.

    Wheel Alignment.

    I think my problem with it and why I don't understand it, is that the board with the minutes and degrees on it, doesn't fit to the other wheel, so how can it know where the toe is? My friends kit fits to both wheels, so there is a physical connection to each wheel.

    Mk2 Golf GTI refurb..

    I had a 1990 big bumper GTi 16v. Miss it, sold it back in 2003. The owner I sold it to ended up somehow having it used in an official anniversary photoshoot at a dealership somewhere some time ago, probably when the Mk5 came out I think.

    Wheel Alignment.

    I've got one of those, never gave the same results twice, so put it back in its box and haven't touched it since, for some reason I couldn't make any sense out of it. My friend has a better one which I use instead, his one uses equipment which fits to both wheels, rather than the one which this...

    Illuminated bathroom mirror

    Yep, that helps, will probably squidge some clear silicone on the bottom and wiggle it into place as it hangs. Helps me decide on a mirror as I only want to drill into these tiles the once. Thanks.

    Illuminated bathroom mirror

    In fact, I did see one with a shaver socket, which only hung from the top. I thought there's no way that's going to stay in place. That'll come off and smash into the basin.

    Illuminated bathroom mirror

    I guess with sufficient weight, perhaps lifting up could be prevented, even by the most vigorous cleaning by the unexpected?

    Illuminated bathroom mirror

    Hello, just after some thoughts on illuminated bathroom mirrors. Most of the ones available appear to only hang on two screws, via a keyhole type arrangement, rather than being able to be actually fastened down. I'm not sure how confident I'd feel about having a mirror like this, as wouldn't it...
