I only need to buy the wood for the frame and top as my boy has taken a storage unit apart so I will glue the wood together to make two shelves to save myself some money. If I buy the wood for the top from wickes it will cost £17.59 for planed softwood 18x144mmx1.8m pk5. Then if I buy the frame...

Yes I mean 5ft X 2ft. The vice will be a metal one but it will only be used occasionally. As the shed gets a bit damp would osb or ply be better than mdf.

I've got two plastic shelving units and I would like to replace them with a 5x2 wooden bench but it has to have two shelves and a strong top just in case I fit a vice. I've looked on b&q website but i'm not to sure what wood to use for the shelves but for the frame they have 75mm x 47mm sawn...

On one wall it's brick but on the other it's brick and breeze block.

I removed the skirting on my landing to renew some floorboards and now i don't know whats the best way to fit the skirting as the old skirting was nailed to the floorboards and there is no plaster to attach the skirting to. I'm thinking of screwing the skirting to the wall but would it best to...

I have been trying to drill holes in a tree stump using a old black & decker drill but as it don't have reverse i was finding it hard to remove the auger bit, so i used my challenge extreme drill and i burn't it out so now i need to buy a cheap drill but would a sds drill be any good.

I currently have a clip on lamp with a 60watt bulb in the attic and it's a load of rubbish so i'm thinking of replacing it with a 5 foot 58w fluorescent light like we have in the kitchen, so as i want to run the light from a plug do i need to know anything before buying a fluorescent light.

It's the foam washer that i'm after and not the plastic diaphragm washer. You cannot buy the plastic diaphragm washer for my syphon as the syphon is no longer made and thats why i'm going to make a plastic diaphragm but i was unsure if the rubber washer could be bought.

Our toilet ain't flushing very good so i want to make a diaphragm and renew the washer inside the syphon but can the washer be bought and would you know the size if they are standard.

I have bought a keter garden store shed from argos and need to make a base that i can screw the shed to as the neighbours are fedup of balls going over their garden so i don't think they would like the shed over their :lol: so i was thinking of making a wooden frame and placing the shed on top...

I have had a look around and the old pipe ain't anywhere so i was going to pop in b&q to see if they sell 15mm x 3/4" soldering ring straight tap connecters so i can measure the part that fits in the tap.

This is the best picture i could take. A 15mm olive will fit inside the tap and rest on the seat just above where you can see the water.

I will put a picture up tomorrow as i got my bluetooth working. The thread on the stop tap is 3/4 as a 3/4 garden tap hose pipe connector will fit. [/b]

I'm unable to post a picture as my bluetooth adapter ain't working. I have measured the hole of the stop tap and it's about 16mm so a 15mm copper olive will fit inside the stop tap as the stop tap has no chamfered edge. If the tap connector that i was given is 15mm x 3/4 inch it's not going to...

The stop tap looks the same but a 15mm nut is to small to fit on the stop tap.

We have a high level toilet cistern in the outside toilet that needs to be plumbed in so i was thinking of buying the copper pipe and pvc pipe and having a go myself but as i don't know much about plumbing i was wondering if someone could help me as i'm stuck at the first hurdle. The stop tap...

Would you know what size they are so i can have a look in b&q.

I have just noticed that there is a leak on the lockshield drain off valve where you drain the radiator and i was wondering how i would fix this as i have undone the square shaft to see if any dirt came out but it didn't so i tightened the shaft back up and it's still leaking.

I have heard the door seals leaks but mine have been ok. The best thing you can do is get someone to soak the car with a hose pipe while you sit in it to check for leaks.

How far can ladders stick out over the back of a car as i just sold my ladders but the person i sold them to cannot pick them up until 2 weeks time so as i needed them moved straight away i said i will move them. I have put the ladders on the roof rack but they stick out 2 foot over the back of...
