Great advice, thank you.

I would like to create a doorway between 2 single garages. See the pic. Can I go ahead and cut an opening, I don't believe the wall is load bearing? Am I okay to use a piece of timber as a lintel as it won't be load bearing? Many thanks.

The thermostat is digital and is very confusing (I'm used to a dial), however, I put it up very high and it suddenly came on!😄 We are soooooo pleased! Thank you very much! I feel a bit stupid, but don't care, we will be warm now.

Thanks. The you tube clip keeps jamming. But I got the idea, I moved that valve thing, I could feel the resistance which is good (apparently), but the heating hasn't come on.

We've just moved into a new house, the heating was working fine for the first two nights, but now, nothing. As you can see by the pic, if I tap through the options for heating to; 'continuous', the boiler should fire up and the orange light should come on. But nothing. The boiler is...

I'm about to block up a doorway between kitchen and Lounge. I'm going to batten it. I'm concerned about the noise as the TV will be the other side of the opening. What should I use between the battens to sound proof it? Many thanks.

All the woodwork in our house is like this, I want to paint it all white. I'm guessing; Rub down gently Primer 1 undercoat 2 top coat Rubbing down in between coats. Is that correct? Thanks.

I've got a garage (with a door on it), with a car port next to it, shown here. I want to knock a doorway through the left wall of the car port so I can get access between garage and port. I then want to block up the car port, then render the front at some point. Can you help? 1/. I'm...

I see what you mean. If I can get hold of a VW transporter I'm looking at an older van with more mileage than a Vivaro for the same money though.

I need to upgrade my van and have about £8,000 to spend. I like the look of the Vauxhall Vivaro. I'm a landscaper so need to carry a cement mixer and a few heavy tools, nothing major. In time, I hope to get myself a trailer to pull 1Tonne of sand/soil. Due to the potential trailer do I...

1200 mini sleepers are quite light. The drive is narrow and used frequently, they will keep shifting so I would rather fix them.
