Here's a pic of the rubbish dump!

either side are two brick walls yes, one wall is ours, the other is our neighbours wall.

I was dreading that to be honest. Don't mind having a go but am crap at design. Don't suppose there's plans I can get that I can resize showing me what I need to do or a company I can call without it going to cost me a small fortune?

Hi All, We have a narrow space down the side of our house which currently has a portion of it covered with plastic corrugated roof sheets so we can store a bike and other bits of crap (out of sight out of mind right?). What we're looking for is a slim shed (no more than around 90cms external...

Hi All, Very long story short. 7-year old fridge freezer stopped working. Engineer tested the standing pressure of the compressor which read 1 bar. Said there is a refrigerant leak and advised us to replace the machine rather than the compressor. He said the standing pressure (couldn't check...

Hi All, We have a small 6m square front garden which will be completely cleared of all life this week and a weed barrier put down. We want to have pebbles / stones with perhaps a centre circle feature. The problem is we're not very creative and was wondering if any designers out there could...

Thanks again for the reply. If you look at the pics you can see that the main patio steps down a little. The curved perimeter was formed from a single course of house bricks, some of which have crumbled (not completely but enough to allow the sand to wash out over time). Is bedding sand...

Thanks but the fact that it's sitting on house bricks which have started to crumble won't that just cause the sand to seep through again does bedding sand contain cement too?

Hi All, Our block paved patio is suffering with a few partially sunken blocks. You hopefully can see from the photo what I mean. The step has been formed from house bricks which over the years has eroded and let the sand holding the pavers to leak out. Again, hopefully you can see from the...

yes, understand that but in the morning his room is like a sauna!

Hi All, My son's radiator is either on full pelt or off. If he turns the rad stat off the rad cools down but even if he clicks the stat up to 1 or 2 the rad is burning hot. Anything I should look at first? Cheers Daz

It was the Micromark one...well done...shame not available anymore!

Hi All, Years ago, probably 25 years ago, I had a mains extension lead (8 gang or so) they didn't use the standard UK mains plug. Instead, you cut that off and replaced it with a plug which was much smaller. It was neat and compact. Does anyone know if something exists like this today? Cheers Daz

Thanks for the replies. I've drawn a sketch (not to scale) of how this plank should look but am unsure, even if I manage to make it, how I'd physically get it in! What do you guys think?

Hi All, Attached is a picture showing the space for the end of row laminate plank and the stair post with two returns. I've undercut the post by about 20mm to hide the laminate under but cannot figure out how to cut the plank. Any help would be really appreciated. Cheers Daz

yes, saw them, but thought the price was very high. Maybe I should readjust my expectations but £32.75 excluding delivery for a 4.2m length of primed MDF skirting seems a lot of money to me.

plus neither of them have primed MDF 25mm thick.

yes, very expensive as I don't have an account with either of them.

anyone?

Hi All, I'm based in London and am looking for recommendations for where to buy 4.2m 25mm x 170mm high (approx) primed MDF skirting boards. Seems lots of suppliers online but very expensive. If anyone could recommend a supplier that would be great. Cheers Daz
