yeah just checked samknows and it says there is no VM cable in the area. So it does appear to be brand new territory for VM. We got letter couple days ago to expect distruption to our house as they put it in the street, so its "cable". Here in N.I, most of Belfast is hooked up but all the...

Nah there is no VM in this town. This is brand new.

Its not a new build area. Houses are built in the 70s. I have a 3' high brick wall on my front border to the footpath. Have single tarmac drive all way up side of house to garage. To side of tarmac is 2 areas of stones at different heights with a small brick wall.. anyway wanting to rip all this...

So just got notice that Virgin Media is being installed in our street at start of Jan. We had VM years back when we lived in an area that had it. But since we moved was unable. Interested in switching over to VM. However, just a few questions if anyone knows? How do they get the cable from the...

Not screwdrivers but I picked up a nice little screwdriver bit set in Lidl for £8.99 last week - bargain. Very good quality for the price!

When I fitted a load of new doors into my house a while ago, I made a couple of very simple jigs which some people call a "Door Buck". It works very well. See here for example - Essentially you use thin bit of Ply and put some timber either side of it with a gap which is a little bigger than...

Do you mean microwave on worktop above washing machine? Not really a problem. If you mean an intergrated oven, that wouldnt be a good idea or wouldnt be easy to do. Freestanding washing machines are usually around 600mm wide, meaning you really need to leave some wiggle room space to get washing...

You could put a nice solid wood frame on the front if you dont like look of the ply. Personally MDF would look cheap and nasty.

You should watch Paul Sellers. This guy knows his **** when it comes to hand tools. - Chisel sharpening - Sharpening & Setting a Plane - Restoring a bench plane Wealth of information in there. Enjoy. Personally I got cheap Narex chisels recently and used his method, and they are razor...

Just a little project I got done. Well turned out quite a bit of prep work involved in it! Putting in a side door for my garage. There had been a door before witt previous owner, but for whatever reason this was blocked up. So I wanted to open it up again. I had been searching for a door to...

Yeah that is what I was thinking about battery rune time too. I too have the 18v Li-Ion cordless and its brilliant. I think makes more sense to invest a bit more in and get a second one with same batteries than try and use this. Just makes things alot faster to have a drill to drill and a drill...

Clearing my mothers garage out and came across a Makita 6226d cordless drill in a case with 2 batteries and also has a torch which uses the batteries. So I stuck a battery on charge and then after an hour or so put it in drill and nothing. Tried it in the torch and light worked, but after min or...

My mother is having some work done in her kitchen including new floor and wall tiles and new worktops and new oven hob fitted. She has a "handyman" type guy who is doing all the work. Went round to see how its going. All looks ok to be hounest. However I thought the hob wasn't fitted right. He...

Well you should be able to offer a much lower price on property now, as it has 1 less bedroom.

How did you get on with this?
