Cheers, no electric sockets on the walls either side, hot water tank in other room in a cupboard but pipework runs underneath that. Removed a fitted wardrobe, so got a rough idea where the studs are,

Moving a TV that I fixed to to a brick wall. Now the wife wants it moved to the other wall, which is plasterboard and the wall seperates two rooms. Now of course ideally it goes into the joists but in the off chance that I miss them, how thick is the wall that seperates the two rooms? The house...

Another question. Regarding putting on a mist coat over the plaster, thought I had white matt but turns out it's silk, however I do have a tin of matt but not white. Is it best to use the matt or can I get away with the silk. Cheers

It's paint for the most part, plasterboard where I went a bit rough with the scraper. Going to fill in the plasterboard bits, sand ituse Peel Stop to prime then mist coat and repaint and hopefully that'll work. Unlees you guys could suggest something else.

It's always been water based, variations of bathroom, anti mould paint. Always painted over existing without issues until now.

The pics are above the door and at the corner, but in future, keeping the window closed should help?

Any idea why condensation would cause this after all this time?

Few months back wife decides it's time for the en suite to be painted again, used the usual Dulux bathroom paint as have done the previous 3 or 4 times it has been done. This time though, the paint has started to crack and peel. Sanded off the cracked paint (didn't fill it) repainted and it's...

Cheers bud, all sorted, took less than a minute to fix.

Correct me if i'm (which I probably am). Will the spring just not go back to the original position if there is nothing to lock it?

Just going by a few videos that I watched, securing the spring by tightening grub screws

Going to have a crack at this over the weekend. Just to check. Take tension off the spring via rods/grips Do I tighten grub screws to stop spring springing back to original postition Realign cable. Restension spring and retighten grub screws. Cheers

Haven't got round to doing it as yet, but out of curiosity, why lock the spring in place when i'm not touching it. Does loosening the cog not have anything to do with the spring which is about 1mtr from the cog?

Images as requested.

So watched a few videos and they say lock with mole grips but with different doors to mine, then seen this video with same make (no windows on mine though) with same spring and cog layout. Guy in the video doesn't use mole grips to secure it though. Will give it a go in a few weeks when i'm off...

Cable came off the grooved pulley wheel(?) and the garage hook kicked in to stop it from falling few days ago, managed to close the door until I could get a better look at it, seen that the cable was off tne wheel. Opened the door fully and the cable went back onto the wheel by itself, only...

Yeah, that's the hose. Although can get results for a hose, doesn't give me sizes, so don't know if it will match.

Managed to get it off cut it and rejoin it, just a temp fix until I get a replacement. Now does anyone have any idea what the hose is called, whenevr I search variations of drain hose it always comes up with the long grey hose Thanks

LG-F4J610WS has started to leak on spinning, after taking off the back I see it is coming from the small fliter drain hose at the bottom of the machine , now should be a relatively easy replacement but see that not only does this washing machine has a base floor but it's also connected to the...

Wife decided she wants to change the handles on the kitchen doors and asked (well, told) me to do it, no bother easy job and it was until I came to the dishwasher, how do I get to the screws to take off the handles? It's a Montpellier MD1700 and i've d/l the installation manual but nothing about...
