Sure. There's no reason why you couldn't paint the walls and ceiling the same colour. What made you think you couldn't do that?

Alimeg: I'm familiar with the kind of frost free fridges we have here in North America, but yours may or may not be different. Also, we don't have Beko fridges here, so I'm not sure if yours is a manual defrost fridge or a frost free fridge. However, I wrote up the following...

Another knowledgeable opinion could be had by asking the store that sells these Erbauer miter saws where you take them for repairs if needed. Then go ask the guy who repairs them what he thinks of them. The places that repair tools will generally repair a lot of different brands, and he'll...

What about using flexible vinyl baseboard molding instead of trying to bend wood. Vinyl baseboard molding will follow a much smaller radius of curvature than you could ever achieve with wood. You can get the vinyl in 3 and 4 inch width (and wider I think). The molded skirt at the bottom would...

Kevin: This company sells foam backer rod and even has a graphic image of how it's used on their web site: http://www.forsite.co.uk/miers_7.html This company claims to sell "FOAM BACKER ROD FOR USE WITH JOINT SEALANTS" http://www.bcsproducts.co.uk/frames/floorslab4.html This one too...

I agree with Andy that a good multimeter should be in every DIY'ers toolbox. You pretty well need one of these to do any electrical work or much in the way of appliance diagnosis and repair. A good wet/dry vaccuum cleaner is also something most DIY'ers need. I think my vaccuum cleaner is...

No, hairyjon, you didn't offend anyone. You posted at 8:47 PM on Monday and then again several hours later at 1:09 AM on Tuesday. You probably weren't aware that everyone in the forum sets aside that block of time every night for meditation and self awareness. That's why there was no...

Andy: Here in North America it's standard practice to paint plasterboard. (Most of us call it "drywall", but occasionally you hear it referred to as "plasterboard".) We simply fill and tape the joints, and plaster over the screw or nail holes, and then just prime and paint over that...

Kevin: Open your phone directory to Caulking Contractors and see if there's any listed there. If not, phone around to find out who you'd hire to do the caulking on a building (perhaps painters do that in England). Ask the guy: "High quality caulk costs more than a few pennies for a 300 ml...

I'm not so pessimistic. If the problem was ENTIRELY the fact that an emulsion paint had been used over an oil based paint, then not only would there be peeling everywhere in the bathroom, but most likely the painters would have done the same thing in the other rooms and you'd see that peeling...

" The problem however, is that one of the lining papered walls is a dark purple and I am concerned that it'll take many coats of lighter paint before it stops showing through. " The number of coats of paint that it takes to hide an underlying colour has everything to do with the hiding...

Gaz: If you're intending to use MDF as a tiling substrate, then at least coat that MDF with something waterproof first to act as a barrier against water getting into the MDF. If you don't have any proper water proofing membrane made for this purpose, I'd at least paint that MDF...

notb665: Maybe this wasn't censorship on the part of the mods. Maybe those threads were sacrificed to appease the Gods and ensure a bountiful harvest of new threads in the coming year.

Actually, this goat question was a discussion question, so there are arguments to be made on both sides, but I think the strongest argument is that Farmer A now owns that goat. The reason why is that in the British Common Law (which both Canada and the US also share, as well as Australia and...

Scott Ritter is well known in North America as being one of the weapons inspectors sent to Iraq to perform the random surprise weapons inspections mandated by one of the UN resolutions put in place after the first gulf war. He's made no qualms about the fact that the Iraqis were evasive and...

I think it best to put the :twisted: in the same bag as the rest of non-verbal communication. For example, I make my own wine. I have a magic fridge with two stainless steel cylinders in it and one cast steel cylinder. The stainless steel cylinders contain home made wine. The cast steel...

Communicating over the internet is fraught with risk because so much of our communication is non-verbal. The correct interpretation of a spoken word depends not only on the actual words used, but the tone of voice with which we speak, the look in our eye and the expression on our face when we...

That would really freak out someone who wasn't familiar with the language if you told him you were going to get ON an airplane instead of get IN an airplane. Perhaps British Airways and Virgin Atlantic have to hire translators to put people's concerns to rest.

Shellow: Were those pictures taken high up on the bathroom wall (where all the humid warm air would rise to)? ...or even on the ceiling over a shower? How does the paint low down on the wall furthest from the shower look? OK, I'm guessing.

Eddie M: "approx $349" I think you mighta multiplied when you shoulda added or subtracted when you shoulda taken a square root of a logarithm of something. Right now a Canadian Dollar is worth about a half of a British pound. And a Canadian Dollar is worth about $0.87 $US. So 50...
