Ok thanks. The sheet vinyl is only about 2-3mm thick but it is good quality. Is there any way I could use some sort of foam underlay to help absorb the imperfections a bit?

I probably can absorb a few mm's but I don't really want to pull the skirtings unless it is easy because it's an housing association place and I am renting and cost is an issue because they don't leave you with any flooring when you move in so I am working my way through the rooms with flooring...

Hi guys, Basically I moved house and I have sheet vinyl ready to go in the downstairs hallway but I am not happy with the floor. I wanted to show a few pictures for an example. The floor is not really dusty or crumbly at all even though it looks a mess. The whole floor is not this bad, there...

Yep it is a male bengal cat and he is the most dominant or tries to be. Male bengals are known for scent marking as well. We got a dog last year as well so it has probably really upset the balance along with moving house. We have enough clean litter trays etc but it just doesn't stop. He has...

The problem I've got as well is stopping the little ****e peeing on it at night. Could I put plastic sheeting down at night to give it time to dry out for few days?

Thanks. This is definitely an option. Maybe along with the enzyme cleaner it could work well. Yeah thanks. It should be more manageable when the vinyl is down with it being waterproof etc. Yeah thank you. This is definitely an option as well. I only care about the smell. Thanks. That's...

Hey guys, Basically I moved into a new house which had no flooring anywhere. I have done most rooms and I have some sheet vinyl to go in my downstairs hallway but one of our cats keeps ****ing by the front door no matter what we do. The problem is I have to clean and get rid of the smell so...

Thank you. There is no outside tap at the mo. That's on my to-do list later on. I have contacted utilities anyway as I might as well. No signs of electric outside anywhere though.

Thanks. There is nothing electric in the garden or nearby and no drains etc. I was going to use those hammer in spikes but I think they are normally 75cm deep. I just thought they would protect from rot and would be easy if I needed to change a post. Like you said though it only needs 30cm. I...

Hey guys, So basically my garden is probably about 9m by about 5m. The first 3.5 metres outside the back door is patio then the rest is lawn/mud. I wanted to install a picket fence to separate the patio from the grass but I need to install about 5 drive in ground spikes for the posts. Well...

Ok so after reading through a lot of posts here I wanted to ask more... I have a honeywell st699b (pic below of wiring) next to the boiler in the kitchen. So I can install the heat link here and then the thermostat/display where the old dial is in the hallway? But I will have to isolate the...

Hey guys, So I recently moved to a new house and I have been looking at getting a nest thermostat but I want to make sure 100% that it will work before I buy it. I have a manual honeywell stat with 4 wires inside. (Pic Below). I also have a water heater upstairs so does that matter? I wanted...

I got these 2 pics, I wanted to add locks in addition to these rather than change them if possible.

Hey guys. I just moved into a house a few months back and I am not totally happy with the door locks and was hoping to add more but I am not sure what would be best which is why I am here. The back door is pvc and the front is composite? Well it has a plastic/pvc back where i would have to...

Thanks, I put a bit of mdf down the back just to help keep them from directly touching. The extension lead is not wound up, but a bit bunched up. I am going to try and tidy it up a bit.

Hi all, I just just moved to a new house and the pipes for the central heating run along by the skirting under where my TV is on the wall. I have a TV cabinet underneath with an extension lead behind it with TV, Xbox, sky box etc... Is this dangerous or could it cause any issues with...

Yeah It's a flat type with slight tilt. My intinct says it feels secure but tv's on walls make me nervous for some reason. It's the 3rd different wall type in 3 houses.

I think house was built in the 90's. The dust was one type of grey and it was easy to drill. I need to get hold of a ladder to check the loft. I just moved in so crap everywhere at the mo. So is this not safe to hang the tv on? Because I will wait otherwise. I practically hung off the bracket...

Yeah those bolts are normally for that but I thought they would be good in this situation with the fischer wall plugs. I thought they would make a good combo.

Hey guys. I just moved to a new house and I was wanting to mount my tv. It is 55 inch and about 17.5kg. My old house had dot and dab so I used corefix which were great but here I have soft breeze block. I have mounted the bracket already with 10mm Fischer duopower wall plugs and THESE M8 80mm...
