Hi I want to buy a laser measure, I supply and fit plantation shutters which are made mm perfect, so I'm measuring recess's etc. The usual minefield of many brands all with varying prices... can anyone recommend a good mm accurate one? Thanks

I don't have the special tool/applicator to insert the inhibitor to my system, so guess best next option is to close valves on all top floor rads, drain off excess pressure so I can open a valve and pour in to the floor to rad pipe with a funnel?

There's a soil pipe breather at the top of our soil pipe works, it's inside a cupboard but I can smell the drains off it. I presume these 'are' meant to go inside the house, so there should be no smell? But then if it's not airtight how do the gasses escape anyway, and if they do then they're...

I know there's a specialised primer/UC for MDF but will a normal timber primer suffice for a cupboard? I have lots of of so would rather not have to buy more, even if it means using twice as much if it's a case of it sinking in to the material??

Sounds like my best option, as no way of getting to the fitting, thanks, will give it a go...

... hi, it appears to be a 30mm stainless pipe, fitting into a 32mm 90º push fit elbow. This is why I thought a few wraps of insulation tape would pad out the 2mm, and worked... for a while! :(

I have a stainless bottle trap on a smaller WC sink but 2 yr ago when I fitted it I had to wrap lots of insulation tape around the horizontal pipe going from trap into standard plastic fittings behind stud wall. Over time, the tape had slipped, presumably due to warm water flow (?) and it...

I need to fit the type of catch which you push in then it pops the door open, for some cupboards I've made, often used by kitchen units for the no handle look... but what are they called? Thanks

Seriously? Does it work, will the bow come out?

wet the side which bows towards you at the ends? ie expand it a little to correct the bow?? :/

Mmm, yeah, thinking about it, they were cut to size but then stored upright leaning against the wall... damage done! What way will painting one surface make it bow, ie. does the wet/paint make it curl into the painted surface or away from it? Just thinking because some doors are bowing different...

I'm making a fitted cupboard from 18mm MDF. The board has been kept in my garage since the start of the heat wave in this summer, so not exactly damp conditions. When I fitted the doors (2.4m tall) it appears they've bowed slightly, like MDF does when wet, but surely, even if slightly moist...

Need to do a back drop for a stage at a music festival and need a black background with images painted on it - can you get black emulsion?

Beach sand IS gritty ;) Thx

[/url] I'm talking about a very small amount, maybe equivalent to 3 bags, I'm sure the beach won't suffer - I know it doesn't make it right but people loads their cars with large stones all the time.

I am doing a small front garden project (5x1.5m) and want to have a line of granite flags (300x600x60mm) within the soil which will be bark chipped and planted a few plants. The line of flags makes a V shape as it follows the 2 angles of the bay of the house, meeting at a point, so gives 3...

I need to patch a 6x6' area of a stone wall in the garden. On average, I'll be coming out by 2" to match the existing plaster but some areas, due to the way the rounded stones create deep crevaces, some areas maybe 4-5" deep. What's the best way to tackle this, scud the whole area and build up...

Think bout it, it was the control panel! Thanks
