Yes.

If the walls are out of true you could screw 2x2 to the walls with 14 3/4 (15”?) gaps including the back wall. Whether you then fill in the spaces is up to you. The shelves would be supported on 3 sides and shouldn’t bend. You could increase the gap between shelves depending on space...

If the house is old, the skirting will be difficult to replicate (which you may want to do) So carefully remove the existing skirting from the alcove to reuse in front You may want to also remove the skirting returns into the alcove and if any is left over, store in under the plinth that you...

In my opinion, no. My garage is still a garage (integral) while my semi detached neighbours have converted theirs. About half the houses that I can see from my front door have a conversion. My garage is full of motorbikes and is 50’s size - so too small for many big family cars. My mate bought...

Surely the party wall would be double skinned brick or block?

The odds are against it, but one rare disc can be worth a bit. Coloured vinyl was big in the 8O’s and can boost value

Yes. Maybe fill the internal thread with grease/wax or tinfoil to avoid the internal thread clogging with epoxy.

Thanks to the Costco price posters.

I have let my membership lapse. Could anyone check the price of a Sony tv for me? https://www.costco.co.uk/TVs-Electronics-Security/Televisions-Projectors/Televisions/Sony-XR77A80LU-77-Inch-OLED-4K-Ultra-HD-Smart-Google-TV/p/441089 Thanks

Probably 2 part epoxy?

If you can’t find a panel that fits, it’s reasonably easy for a diy person to trim an edge off. Or My local fence business makes the panels on site so one near you might make a smaller one as a custom job

It’s not rocket science to swap a traditional manhole with a recessed one. A bit of possible brickwork but nothing that a is hard for a DIYer. If you want to install resin as a DIY job, you are probably capable of doing the cover. Or if you’re paying a resin company then they could do it? The...

At the end of the day, it’s a bin. Drop in a bit of plastic and glue it or drop in a bit of ply and use self tappers from the bottom If the wood rots in five years, put another one in.

I’d do as above and consider the lean to roof as sacrificial. It won’t come off/go on without damage. Scaff is likely easier to build there than a tower depending on the roof’s support structure.

I would guess that the ones in the skirting were the originals? Loads of older houses built before electricity used the skirting for sockets as it was easy to cut in and feed the wires to the floor. Possibly someone just wired the modern ones below the boards, applied a fillet or filler to the...

Not condoning any attacks but didn’t the Israeli fans beat up Palestinian flag holders the day before?

If the structure hasn’t been built, build it to accommodate existing sizes of roofing rather than a random size that then makes life awkward with cutting. Personally, if the pitch is 10° or so then rain will do most f the cleaning for you although beware of having a perch for birds above. I...

He thought that he was above questioning. He also had to look on a globe to find the Falklands.

So do you need a waterproof roof or not? I have a conservatory with a triple wall roof (lean too style), a gap, then a pergola style timber assembly with no roof. There are vines growing over the pergola and it’s fairly rain proof in summer due to the foliage but not in winter. I use it for...
