    Cutting wavy edge tiles

    I have some small wall tiles to replace and a few need cutting. The problem is the edges are not straight by design. So, if I cut the tile with a straight edge it will look silly. How do I cut it wavy to match the other edges?

    Resizing cupboard door

    Can they be pulled apart at a join? If I cut it off either end it won't look right, cutting at a join will mean I can simply glue the door back together minus a few inches.

    Where do i even start?

    I need to decorate a bedroom and i have no idea what to do! The problem is that around the room the paint is flaking - you can pick off 2/3mm pieces, leaving the plaster board exposed. This means if i paint over it it'll look hideous and also just flake off eventually. What on...

    Downlight Install

    Well I'm not retarded so I need not worry. Also, I have no animals so it's all good there too. I think my neighbour has a ****** dog though, should I warn him not to let it in the shower? I'm confused, do dogs catch fire if you get them wet or do ******* spontaneously combust when showering...

    Downlight Install

    You're quite right but I generally find that I can do most things after researching them. I had similar response when asking how to fix up an outside light but figured it out in the end and nothing went wrong (yet).

    What to do here?

    I have a level subfloor apart from one high spot. The spot is about 3/5mm above the rest of the floor. My question is shall I grind it down before laying insulation board over the top? If I don't will my tiles look rubbish in that area? Many thanks, Dan

    Option a or b?

    £22.50 a sqm. It's only 8sqm. I think it's a fair price.
