Hi Footprints, I uploaded pictures to dropbox but they don't seem to have shared properly. https://www.dropbox.com/s/untipfb771jromx/Photo%2030-11-2018%2C%201%2045%2029%20pm.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/pw5pausbq0vfa36/Photo%2030-11-2018%2C%201%2057%2009%20pm.jpg?dl=0

Hi everyone, I’ve just moved into a 23 year old house and I’ve bought a new kitchen tap as the current one isn’t the best. Looking under the sink the current one has been fitted with plastic compression fittings and the new tap has come with flexible hoses. What parts do I need to connect the...

That's not possible because it's a vaulted ceiling. I could screw another piece of strut to the roof though and use cables to support the lower strut as 5m is quite a long length.

The suspended ceiling is 2.55m and I would say it's about the same above the ceiling

The roof is too high for me to fix threaded rod to it

What do you mean month it in the same way? The actual roof is very high and it's not practical to get up there with the suspended ceiling in place.

Hi all, I want to install digital menu boards in my fish and chip shop. The shop is 5m wide and has a suspended ceiling so my plan is to fit two parallel lengths of uni strut above the suspended ceiling and fix five ceiling brackets from it, the total load will be under 50Kg along the two 5m...

It's a Fish&Chip shop that does Chinese too. I thought about spraying but I've never used a sprayer before but I may well look into it.

It's to give my takeaway a bit of a facelift, the current store front is a faded shade of brown, the interior is being re-tiled and modernised but I can't afford to change the store front when is why I wanted to paint it.

Even when it's been primed?

Satin will be fine, being solvent based will it be ok over Zinsser Bulls Eye or is there a better primer to use?

Hi all, I am going to paint some old aluminium window frames using Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Plus primer but I am unsure which top coat to use. I would like a flat black finish as it would be if the windows were new. What's the best paint to use for this? Thanks

The flexi hose has a male end so I don't think that fitting will work for me? Do I just need to put a plastic insert in the pipe get a copper olive and tighten it up or do I need a fitting?

Your image isn't showing can you re post it please. There is already an isolation valve on the hot and cold pipe the plastic pipes lead off from them.

Are these the correct fittings to go from plastic pipes to flexi hoses? and do you use the olive with these fittings to the flexi hose? The olives I have are brass I have read somewhere that copper olives should be used with plastiv pipe work.

Are all the green fibre washers the same? The sink came with a mixer valve which is in two pieces as there are no taps on the sink, the pictures below give an idea of scale, the blue washer doesn't seem to fit anywhere properly.

Hi all, I am going to replace an old porcelain sink with a knee operated stainless steel sink in my takeaway. It looks fairly straightforward but the difference between a botch job and a good job is attention to detail so I have a couple of newbie questions. The sink came with flexi hoses and...

Thanks for the tip, in the past I've only ever worked with MDF but I want to make something of a much higher quality.

Thanks for that if it comes to it I will contact them. I'm surprised how much more difficult it is to source materials than I thought it would be.

Hi all, I want to build a coffee table out of a piece glass I have left over from an old desk and I want to build the frame out of quite a light coloured hardwood that will take a nice stain. I live in Warrington and I can't find anywhere locally that sells hardwood. I've looked on line...
