I can't drill from the other side because I want to attach them to a bedroom door.

I don't understand this. Sorry.

I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that I could buy an insert with the same thread size as the bolt.

How do I go about finding the correct size inserts for these ceramic knobs? I want to attach them to a door to use as coat hangers.

Brilliant thanks for this.

I've made a tear in the freezer compartment lining when scraping out ice. Will this compromise the freezing capability and is it fixable?

Thanks. I'll try clamping. It's not worth the effort of ripping and glueing.

Shelving, so it's useless cupped. I may have to discard it.

I bought some spruce boards, 180mm wide, 16mm deep. One was badly cupped but I've managed to flatten it by soaking it and placing a heavy weight on it. It looks fine now but how do I dry it to avoid it cupping or splitting?

The Protimeter Mini is about £180, unless I'm looking at the wrong one. There are much cheaper ones around £20 though.

Any recommendations for a good adhesive?

The paper either side of the bookcases is fine.

The wallpaper is lifting in several places on the chimney breast, either side of the fireplace. The gas living flame fire is rarely used. There's no sign of mould or damp on the wall but there are few water stains on the paper like the one in this additional photo. I can't see a stain on the...

Thanks. Two questions: 1. Best way to check for damp? 2. Best wallpaper paste for this? I should have said that the wallpaper appears to be fully stuck to the lining paper, if that makes any difference to the repair.

Please see photos off wallpaper lifting away from a chimney breast wall of a friend's house. I'm not aware of any damp issues that might be causing this and the wallpaper has been up for several years. The whole area I've marked in red has lifted from the wall, including the lining paper. Is...

I bought these and they did the job perfectly. Very happy with the results.

From China???

Hi. Can someone send me a link to 600 grit sanding block or tell me where I can buy one? I can't find anything online. I just want to do a final sanding after the last coat on varnish on some shelves. There's a very faint roughness that I want to remove.

This 'communal' plumbing is a pain. It's probably something I'll just have to put up with. The sound of water in the shower drain has been going all day.

It's mine. I've got great neighbours and all have similar plumbing issues. The water rushing down the boxed in pipes can be heard every time the upstairs neighbours use their washing machine. The trickling water noise under the shower tray has been constant today. I don't know if it's worth...
