I have a problem with gaps top and bottom of my up/ over metal door. I fitted 3 of these to the top/ bottom to stop the draught, as it's a brush not rubber it opens and closes easier http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320472006820&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I had 1 years ago to store a motorbike, it was so flimsy, not secure (bolts), allowed so much condensation and the doors were pathetic. I lined the inside with wood panels to give it more ridgity but a wood shed would have been better in the 1st place

When bodyshops paint plastic bumper/ spoilers/etc on cars they add a Plasticisor into the paint which makes it flexible so it doesn't crack

ok getting around to this in the next week or 2 So the best lining is plywood fixed with wooden battons with angle brackets (where can i get these?). For better insulation i should use kingspan, etc slid behing the plywood. If condensation is still a problem then air vents placed at opposite...

Sometimes the car is put in wet when the car is dried ready for polishing the next day i find the sides are damp when i apply the polish - seems to be the walls are too cold?

I use a small oil filled radiator (as can just be seen in the pics) when i'm in there for a while but was thinking of a de-humidifier. I had 1 a few years ago (previous garage) and it must have been an indoor 1 as when the temps were really cold it would freeze up and eventually died :( Just...

The base was laid july this year and has been painted with an epoxy paint. The roof is an apex with the concrete type sheets, inside i've lined this with polystyrene sheets

I've just had a sectional concrete garage built (22ft x 10ft) and in this weather the walls (painted with masonary paint) are freezing so the car/ tools/ etc are covered in damp. I was thinking of lining the inside walls with wood panels and have seen some WEYROC P5 V313 18MM MOISTURE CHIPBOARD...

I have a later model with Xenons but the adjustment should be the same. 1 of the screws adjusts the light left to right and the other adjusts up and down. It does take several turns before you notice the lights adjusting. Face the car at a wall approx 20 metres away and adjust until the...

wow quick reply :) Thanks for that as we're having problems with the job done and want to know he's working within the regs

Sorry to dig up this post we've had out house fully rewired and the sparky has replaced the sockets that were on the skirting boards with new ones which sit on the wall but the bottoms sit on (maybe 5mm) the skirting - shouldn't they be higher up the walls? thanks

Is there such a thing as a remote security floodlight? I'm wanting to fit an exterior floodlight the the top front of my garage pointing at the drive but i don't want a PIR as there's an alley next to the drive so the light will go on everytime some1 walks there dog down there. I'm wanting 1...

How long are the pipes? you could try drain rods or a hose/ pressure wash to flush it out

Is there a specific nitrogen fertilizer for grass as i've just seen some for plants? Would this help...

In the past couple of weeks we have several patches which seem to be spreading of what is dried out/ dead lawn. The patches aren't in the shade, aren't under trees and don't have weeds What can i do to get the grass lush again? Thanks

thanks for the advice - i was going to ask him to check the wiring and see what can be done Rob

There were numerous small problems after the rewire, sockets not working, switches not working, etc, the holes left in the walls were supposed to be filled in by a plasterer but he had 1 of his lads fill them with silicone instead :shock: we left a dozen messages on his answerphone trying to...

We had the whole house rewired a few weeks ago and told that sparky about the plans for the garage. He left the cable saying he would wire it up if we wanted to lay the cable (to save some cost). That sparky turned out to be unreliable and left a mess so we aren't using him for the garage...

Forgot to mention - all fittings to be supplied by Sparky

I painted the new shed with a timbercare paint (autum gold) and to be honest it looks awful (too bright). I'm looking at getting a Cuprinol fence sprayer for the new fence and was wondering if i could go over the gold on the shed with a darker colour using the sprayer? Would it work or do i...
