    Water collection

    I've recently had to dig to sort out some new fence posts in an area of my garden, the gravel boards needed to go down about 100m so ground seen in pics needs to raise up a bit. Also ive not replaced a shed load of shingle my lovely neighbour had covering the pipe that drains off. I must have...

    Concrete fence posts

    I've just put some in and notice they are rattling on mine, they all do seem to look the same when I look at others so he is probably correct. The question is what stops the panels moving?

    Repainting newel

    Hi, I've used dulux satinwood oil based on this but accidents will happen and it got scraped chipped. I've got half a tin of water based I used elsewhere available to use. Would I be asking for trouble if I primed then used the Waterbased stuff on this section? Or would it be better to do...

    Wheelie bin cover

    I know what store I will buy, its a case of if I need a solid base for it so it doesn't end up flying off and getting knocked about when bins go in? What about using slabs like this for the base? https://www.wickes.co.uk/Marshalls-Richmond-Smooth-Natural-Paving-Slab-450-x-450-x-32-mm/p/144650

    Wheelie bin cover

    Hi, I'm looking at a cover for my horrible wheelie bins that need to get put in the garden. I initially thought of putting a concrete base down, but not sure that's really suitable with the paving slabs next to them. Also I need to get the bins manoeuvred in/out easily. I also wonder if I can...

    Dulux Trade Diamond Matt (Custom Colour Mix) I may have made a mistake purchasing

    I'd have no issues going Diamond matt over matt, I hardly notice on my stud walls. It does apply rather dark but dries out fine. In the high traffic areas you won't regret it. However I would have an issue buying a 5L quid tin for one bedroom at 70 odd quid ! :) The diamond matt can be watered...

    I bought a Beko for new kitchen, after a month it wouldn't get below 8 degrees. Two weeks of engineer visits and it was written off due to low refrigerant. Mines also integrated and highly annoying that this happened but hey ho fridge replaced and sorted.
