Hi all, I am in the process of making a few tables using logs that I have got hold of. I would like to know how should i go about treating the edges? They were cut down probably about 3-4 weeks ago so have not dried out yet. The tops look ok but the sides keep getting a white "froth" (which...

Hi, I'm just starting to fit a new bathroom, everything's out, I'm fitting a pvc ceiling, new bath sink and toilet and re tiling the walls and floor. My question is, what should be done first? I was thinking in this order: -Fit the battons for the ceiling and run the cables for the shower...

Hi, I have recently made myself a new storage bed, but there is no headboard yet. What I was thinking of doing is cutting the shape out of mdf and securing it to the wall but I want it to hook on rather than screw in so there are no screws/bolts on show. I was wondering if someone could...

Ahh thanks, makes sense, i will try that when i get a few other minor problems sorted (tamper switches on sensors!)
