Hello, I did search for this but was worried information I found might be out of date. Basically I have a large shed about 13m from back of house then it's another 4m inside the house to the cupboard with the consumer unit. I would like to get some electrics to the shed at some point in the...

Hi. Ive got a new windows 10 tablet (galaxy tabpro s) which is all working great apart from when I print anything. Its connected fine to my brother printer and prints but everything comes out very pale both colour and black. I know its not the printer itself because if I use my old tablet to...

Hi everyone I was hoping to build a little simple bike shelter in a corner of my garden between the fence and conservatory. I was thinking of using something like this for the roof: http://www.screwfix.com/p/coroline-corrugated-upvc-bitumen-sheet-black-2000-x-950mm/27586 I've never used any...

Hi I've just bonded a wall which will be tiled ffor a shower enclosure. I've read you shouldn't tile onto bonding but should skim it first. But I was wondering is this still necessary if I am going to paint the wall first with aquaseal tanking paint before tiling?

Thanks for all the advice. I will use some wood to strengthen it above the pipe then. Will drilling through the joist for the bolts not weaken the joist further tho?

That's what I was wondering about. Screwing maybe a bit of 2" x 1" across the notch on each side of the joist? If I take it right up to the wall and a fair bit further the other side? Got to help a bit hasn't it?

Not as bad no the waste goes through the next joist but it's a hole drilled near the centre of it instead of a notch. Thanks for your replies

Just started redoing my bathroom and lifted some floorboards and noticed a serious bit of notching in the joist for the sink waste. Basically its a 7" joist and the notch is 4" deep. Is also only 30cm from the outside wall which am I right makes it even worse. I was wondering if I could screw a...

Thanks for the reply. Yes I think thats the ladder I had been looking at. Problem is I dont suppose its something that is likely to be available to hire anywhere would you think? Ive asked a pest control company for a quote but they said they couldnt do it and a roofing guy hasnt got back to me...

I've got solar panels on my roof which are proving to be a problem with pigeons. I was wanting to get up there and fit some of that hedgehog stuff around them as I've read that's a good deterrent. Problem is they come practically to the edge of the roof each side so I need to go over the panels...

Thanks for the replies I will check the dimensions I know the wall is not particularly flat but I will check how plumb it is. I did think of reducing the door opening but when I checked it is already only a 670 width so I was worried about making it even smaller although I know an extra inch...

Hi. I'm looking to try and fit a shower enclosure in a space behind the door. I want to get a quadrant one but the smallest I am to be able to find is 800 but unfortunately that is literally about 25mm too big. I've seen 760mm square ones but not a quadrant one, are they available. Or could I...

thanks for the replies guys. Is that stuff not very difficult to get on without creasing it? Wouldnt want it to look a mess

Hi everyone What I was hoping to do is replace the glass in the windows down the side of my conservatory with white panels. They are approx 900 x 1300 and I was wondering if anyone knows if I can order them online anywhere?

Hi I have a whirlpool 20rb-d3sf side by side fridge freezer. Last week I went to change the water filter and when I pulled the old one out water was pouring out of the housing all over the floor. I put the new filter in but it still leaks a bit. I've tried cleaning housing out but still the...

Its actually part of a crazy paved drive that i was hoping to go on top. It goes right up the the boundary fence on two sides and the other 2 sides im not going right up to unfortunately so i cant really go up to the perimeter. But I could break it up as best I can to help it bond, even if i...

Hi Im planning to build a shed at the bottom of my garden approx 10ft x 10ft. The area Im putting it is already concreted however unfortunately it slopes away at one corner. I dont want to make a wooden base to level it and was just looking for any advice about how I best go about concreting...
