    What type of router cutter do I need to make this?

    I have done some routing but I am not super competent. I have a Makita RP2301FCXK/2 1/2" Plunge Router but no router table. If I do it at home I'll need to do it freehand, using the guide that comes with the router. There is a workshop near me that I can go to that might have a router table...

    I use reclaimed floorboards because I like the way they look. Your ply flooring look very good but that isn't my thing

    How to remove a floorboard under a doorframe

    Thanks, JohnD. Do you have a pic that shows the solution you're suggesting? Yes, I plan to use mineral wool but ply wasn't in my plans. What would be the benefit of laying ply under the boards? the downside is restricted access to the heating pipes if I ever need to change something or repair a...

    Is something shorting my garden lights circuit?

    The main RCD tripped a couple of times a few days ago when it was raining. The only reason I could think of is that it is to do with the garden lighting. I switched the lights off and the RCD stopped tripping so it was a lucky guess! I have two questions: why didn't the fuse for the garden...

    How to remove a floorboard under a doorframe

    Thank you all for your help so far. I got the said floorboard out but the nails pinning the stud to the joist is as was. I am about to change the floorboards on the landing and could use your expertise with how to finish the stairwell edge of the landing.

    How to remove a floorboard under a doorframe

    Thanks, I learned a lot from your explanation. If I understand you correctly, every stud would have 2 skew nails. So in theory, if drive a skewed screw where the red arrow is before I cut the nail where the black arrow is, would the stud be attached to the building with one new screw and one...

    How to remove a floorboard under a doorframe

    I don't have a reciprocating saw but I do have the Bosh multitool. Anyone here done this sort of job with a multi tool and can tell me which blade will cut floorboards nails?

    How to remove a floorboard under a doorframe

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. I don't mind cutting up the floorboard. If it's nailed to the joist then doing as you suggested should pretty straightforward. I've got the Bosch multitool so will get a blade and give it a go. Is this the best blade for the job?

    Noisy, moving floorboards

    It would be quite easy to see if there's a problem with the joist if you lift a couple of the loose floorboards. If the joist looks sound then nailing down the floorboards (some recommend nailing + glueing) could sort the problem out. If you want a tradesman then a wooden flooring person could...

    How to remove a floorboard under a doorframe

    I'd appreciate your advice. How should I go about removing a floorboards from underneath the upright of a doorframe? I tried to knock it sideways but it's not budging. I'm guessing it's nailed in to the upright but I don't know if that's the case. If I can get the floorboard out I can stick a...

    Changing a thermostatic cartridge in my concealed shower valve

    I pulled hard and it came out. Now the task is to get the new cartridge in but the damn thing isn't playing ball. It's not going in fully. YouTube video says to press in hard but so far it's not playing ball

    Changing a thermostatic cartridge in my concealed shower valve

    And thanks for all your help! I'll give it a go. By O rings do you mean the three rubber seals around the body of the cartridge? In your opinion, should I install isolation valves on the hot and cold supply or will it reduce the water pressure?

    Changing a thermostatic cartridge in my concealed shower valve

    Right... I have the therm cartridge. I widened the opening and the collar and retaining nut are removed. I gently tried to pull out the cartridge by the end bit but it isn't budging. Any advice on what to do to get it out in one piece?
