At the moment I have some cheap nasty Lidl chisels that are only good for battering something or opening paint cans, However I have realized I don't have a single chisel left with what I could do any actual task which requires a good chisel. So I wanted to buy some new, however I realize I don't...

Nearly 19k posts on a forum... how long does it takes you to make 1 post? 10minutes perhaps on average? So that's about 395days if you were to sit on this forum for 10 hours a day just reading it and posting on it...How long do you expect to live to? With constantly sitting at PC and not going...

Cheers, have been a long time user of osmo/fiddes stuff , I got a bottle of danish oil but it's pretty crap compared to osmo.

I'm doing up the house to sell it in near future as well ( 1-2years) , yes new Oak worktops are going in as well. The women wants the belfast sink :D I'm the one who has to think about the durability/practicality of it as well.

btw is that store any good? I wanted to buy something from them in past since they are pretty much the cheapest place for everything for bathrooms/kitchens but came up across some reviews which said to stay well clear of them.

I currently have an old stainless steel one so Have no idea really which ones from the better looking ones are as or almost as durable/long lasting as a stainless steel. for the looks alone I want one of those butler sinks the most Than there are the normal looking ones but from ceramic...

Some of you here have no sense of anything. Obviously you are not going to get everything from there, or buy a pack of screws that way or other small cheap things which are not worth to waste your time. You are going to hunt for the most expensive things there only... I will stick to what works...

Hunt ebay for leftovers from someone else's project, on other things where it doesn't makes sense- just contact few builder merchants with the quantities and make them bid over each other.There are some firms who delivers across country for no charge over certain amount and their prices are way...

25k posts on a forum! WOW... are you spending all your life away on commenting on forums instead of doing something real? By the looks of it...

Jokes on you, I have built 110m2 complete house for under 22k (material costs, without counting in how much my free time is worth...) What someone might charge for their work,and where they source their materials... that's a different story. I did tell those are the material costs, didn't I?

I carried mine out over 2months as a complete DIY project, I sourced the most expensive stuff off ebay ( that is the 1.6k worth of oak flooring I got for 100). Did the staircase myself, timber cost was around 200 for it , I'm fairly good at carpentry and got all the tools so I just make...

approx. 7-10k in materials +legal fees, if you fancy doing all the work yourself and are able to source the materials wisely.

Yes... However be aware that Most of the money will go to making it all legal/ in paperworks and reinforcing the roof structure if it needs done.. the rest is easy and cheap, I did a 21sqm loft without bathroom + about 10sqm of in-built storage where ceiling height was below 1m few years ago...

Was about to start installing some new ceiling lights and skimming some nasty artex ceiling in kitchen refurb but I have always liked the look of exposed wood beams.Since I will be redoing the ceiling might as well do something extra. Plan was to get some cheap 3x7 chunky joists from local...

I always chuckle when someone just says that name, seriously what's so ''luxury'' about it? Vinyl flooring has been the cheapest junk you can get for god knows how long. Now someone makes it in smaller/easier to lay format and calls it "'luxury'' and everyone spends insane amounts of $ on it...

sure But they are located Near Leeds , here is the place: http://www.yorkshiretimber.co.uk/ They have ebay store where you can see the prices& what they have http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?_ssn=timber4lesss&_armrs=1&_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=timber&_sop=2

I don't particularly do loads of woodworking, but still I do few pieces a month through word of mouth as a hobby, so I have to drive 90miles away to buy my timber as even living in large city There's just no place that sell good quality stuff that's aimed for woodworking, well there are some...

I was aware of the problem with the old toilet that it would sweat a bit ( condensation) - it was dealt with by just wiping it up+ I thought It was leaking because of the amount of water everywhere , However now that I have re-done the whole bathroom ,including replacing some rotten floorboard...

Can anyone recommend the best silicone sealant there is/you have used that is highly flexible/good quality/mould resistant and will last for a long time? Don't care about the price as I need only a tube of it, preferable something that either toolstation or screwfix stocks? Thanks in advance!

Hello Sirs, finally got to the stage where I can start laying tiles for bathroom and I need some grout for them however it's really hard to choose between the shades because there's simply no real samples anywhere to be seen, just some paint colour names on websites with 2cm large sample...
