    Gap around DIY Window Seat Lid. And Number of Hinges?

    Much the same framing as mine! Yes, just screwed into the MDF; the lid is fully supported so the hinge isn't taking any load. I also skipped the stays, sometimes it's annoying mostly it's fine. I also didn't have to be too 'pretty' about the top as I had a seat cushion made to cover it all...

    Leaking aluminium bifold doors

    Given the state of that install I'd seriously consider removing and reinstalling. If you're set against that, then check the drain works ok and isn't somehow going inside but mortaring seems a must

    Gap around DIY Window Seat Lid. And Number of Hinges?

    Do you have a pic of the install? Pilot the screw holes and it should be fine using a thin longer screw. I made mine using studwork for the frame and boarded with 22mm MDF then panelled with softwood and all painted. How are you supporting the lid? Mine rest on the studwork framing, hinged using...

    Sub floor Humidity Issue - Best method to solve?

    The paving looks high / too close to the dpc so consider lifting the ones against the walls. I agree on the drainage in general, get it checked out. For the existing air bricks I'd clear what's in place and add new vents in addition. Wrt 6&7 they were clearly blocked intentionally (one for...

    Extension roof issue

    Looks like the corner of those tiles are tilted outward rather than inward which will help pitch the water over the guttering which looks like it should be extended.

    How to paint a straight line by skirting and corners - if i use a tape keeps peeling wall off

    I would. I never got on with the tape method. If you really want to use it get a low tack tape (someone should be able to recommend one on here but some like Frog tape) and make sure whatever you stick it to is dry and sound

    What's inside that room? Has it been dry lined or battened and boarded?

    Coffee - French Press

    We've got an insulated cafetiere which works really well keeping the coffee nice and hot . Good for a Saturday morning. We also have a sage barista express for in the day. Great machine but you need to fiddle a bit before getting it just right. Ours was about £450 a couple of years ago in a...
