The question is, could I cut out the threshold/step, and replace it with a new one, preferably and oak one to match a new oak door, and could I just strip the paint off of the base of the frame, and apply some of the "Ronseal high performance wood filler" to the area that is soft, and then...

Planning on some after hours work are we? :shock:

Personally i would use clear silicone to stick beading onto glass or 3M do a good double sided adhesive tape which would probably give a neater finish......ask the lizard what he'd prefer :lol:

Personally i would screw the nosings on using 2 1/2 inch no8 or 10 screws with a bead of adhesive.Assuming your stairs are something like 36" wide i would fix 3 screws in each nosing,1 1/4 in from each end and then one in the centre of nosing.Make sure you pre-drill and countersink to receive...

Its sounds to me as if the tongue has broken off of your t&g,this is quite normal when removing flooring for pipes and cables etc.However it is normal practice to run a circular saw along the length of the flooring to cut the tongue to allow for easier removal of the board.Making sure that the...

This depends on what you are trying to stick down....E.G if you are fixing skirting board to a straight wall with no humps or bumps in it then this should give a good solid hold. Apply the adhesive to the back of skirting in a zigzag pattern with a bead approx 6mm leaving a gap of about 10-12mm...

Ive used both gripfill and pinkgrip.I would choose pinkgrip out of these two but recently ive been using 'sticks like sh*t',it does exactly what is says on the.......tube :shock:

Gregers you beat me to it!! :roll: :D Just today i used my apprentices UNUSED faithful dmt type stone thingy and was pleased with the result.Normally i just use wet and dry paper to sharpen my chisels and plane blades which is a cheap and effective method.You can find a demo on youtube if...

Looking at your photo it seems that the metal strip has been fitted to hide/cover the step and wouldnt provide a good weather seal to the door(i might be wrong). If you do a google search for 'STORMGUARD' then this will show you what i usually fit on timber doors that i hang. NOTE TO MODS...

PHEW!!!!! I thought it was just me...... Ive done a google search for 'RED DOORS' but in the end i had to admit defeat because valuable drinking time was being eaten up. I could have gone on further with my criticisms but decided that enough was enough!!! Im just gonna give myself a BIG...

This video will be of use to someone who has never hung a door before and is doing research such as yourself.I am all for informative sites,forums etc but as a joiner myself who fits doors on a regular basis lets just say i may be being somewhat critical at such a videos..... Some of the...

Whilst im not an expert with carpet underlay, i used the hammer tacker type stapler (which is sold at screwfix £16.99) to fix my underlay.It lists it as being suitable for the job. My stapler(which i use for roofing felt) is a heavier type which cost me IIRC £50.Looking at the one mentioned in...

Thanks for your help Derv. Did you watch the video? What did you think? I thought the MODS might have stepped in before you to alter my post :roll:

I have dewalt 18v cordless tools and as woody said the flashing red light means battery is charging and a solid red light indicates battery is charged.On my charger which is a 15min charger,it beeps when the battery is charged.

OOPS....i think i dropped a boll@ck trying to shorten the url.I cant seem to suss out even after reading how to! Now who looks like a buffoon?!

is this the CORRECT way to hang a door? I stumbled upon THIS Apart from his technique,i was particularly impressed with his tool kit(not to mention his tattoo's) All replies awaited

Can you clarify that this is an 'internal' window board and not an 'external window CILL' as the two often get confused :oops: If it is the internal window board you are after then id be inclined to buy a length of lets say 8 x 1 pse(planed square edge) timber from a timber yard and put the...

In a house of that age you probably wouldnt find the door opening 100% plumb or square.I think it might be easier to fit a door lining & fit the stop lath afterwards,but i wouldnt expect fitting a casing to be much different with the method i use. My prefered method would be to position...

Hi eastcoast, Can i ask why you didn't return it back to tools.net if it was a brand new gun? Did it not come with a warrantee? The trouble with relying on a rep to take it away for you is that they dont usually visit on a regular basis.I personally would have sent it back to where id...
