Hi Ste If you have had them stripped using a caustic solution, then a lot of the woods natural resin, and hence colour will have been removed. (N.B. Caustic may also have dissolved glue in rails and stiles.) There is also a possibility that whitening has been caused by insufficient...

Hi Transitboy, Don't think OP needed to cover as it DIY job. Probably job all done and dusted by now. But some advice. Only add to all above replies - best to take rad off. It will make plasterers job easier & yours when you redec. I would not think about replacing olives (you will not...

Plus also add into the equation that hire shop will charge for blade useage. I bought a chaser from Aldi - think it was about £50 - worked fine for the chases I needed to do + some life left in the blades. In the scenariro with vacuum cleaner added dust was minimal. As for your pipe runs -...

Just as a caveat - make sure bath is right size - had one instance with an "all in one suite" with standard bath was too long to fit into space available. Tony

Hi Selwyn1111 If your extractor is in recirculating mode, I think you can buy filter sheets (to cut to size) that fit into the hood - think there are two types 1st one is white, which is grease filter ( with red bands which indicate when needs changing), and then a 2nd charcoal impregnated...

Hi RF - you obviously like your new laser level - I like mine to. But do you have to get it into every post. lol :roll: Endoscopes are a different story - you can only trial and see what works for you - so many types and applications, from looking inside a cavity wall to looking inside a...

Got me wondering too, so did a few clicks Apparently Skip is a variant of skep - an old Norse term for basket. And you all new that Richard Biffa introduced waste skips into the UK in the 1960's Tony

Maybe comes from skep? - which is is a large basket - used on farms. Or was a skip on wheels called a larder (correction Lada)? Tony

Big Tone Was only "Joshing" with you re: screwdriver use :) But with your tiling problem - apart from looking for reclaim yards - can you possibly find some from your current kitchen(as you do not need many), from behind dead spaces - I'm sure you have already looked - but if not can you...

Chukka wrote Only marcosscriven can tell us - but hopefully went to recycling plant that will separate metal and reuse. Or maybe that farmer!!! DarrenThomas wrote Tank would have gone up through the joists - so depending on hieght and depth of your tank - it maybe a possibility to...

Hi marcosscriven Do'nt cut it into pieces in loft. Do you want easy job? If it will fit through loft hatch, and if it has no water in it. ie dry, then get a couple of mates round and take it out through hatch, expecting you will have a ladder up to hatch to slide it down, or a shoulder to...

Ok Thanks my thought was Bindweed (is that the name) that travelled through my postage stamp sized garden in London, and through several more, disrupting almost anything in it's path. That is what i was thinking as a weed :oops: Tony

All depends on wall / floor layout - used in indrustry for quotes (even simple ones if natural stone). You would only use mine as one if you replaced as new - sorry Thank You - but is a bit of a faff - so is everthing till you have used it a few times :shock: (As for spreadsheet tile...

Thermo Just a question without trying to distort / take over post (only asking out of interest). If weeds / grass have been there for sometime, would they not start to undermine paving? Or should that not be possible if paving is laid correctly (think I've answered my own question now)lol...

hi Olly :lol: Hang on (checks on google...) Did you find one? 8) I would do same as you - mark out wall with tiles & tapemeasure. But have been off site for sometime and was just intrigued that someone would like that detail - but could'nt do it using Excel. Just thought I would...

Hi BT You can use Excel as a basic CAD package - just written how to but explorer shut down and i lost typiny - so will try again quickly. Basically use Autoshape - insert a rectangle and format it to the size of your wall, then insert further rectangles and format to your tile size(s) you...
