I skimmed over a small Artexed ceiling in my house yesterday. I applied 2 coats of PVA (which dried very quickly), then another PVA and skimmed when tacky - which I believe is correct? The first coat of Multifinish dried so quickly I spent all my time concentrating on getting the lines out...

Richard C; if you use Bonding to fill the joints won't they dry out quicker when you skim? By the way; I wouldn't take any notice of PhiLyn's comment, your reply was very polite and helpful (as always). You've helped hundreds of people including myself many times. Not a particularly nice...

I will give that a try, thanks very much for your help.

I have an existing aerial on the house and a cable runs from the ground floor, past my sons bedroom at the back of the house. Can I drill a hole through his bedroom wall and some how make a connection into the cable? Thanks.

I can get a good picture using a standard TV top aerial in my bedroom at the front of the house, but using the same aerial I can't get a picture on my son's TV which is at the back of the house. Why is this? I guess it's something to do with the location of a transmitter somewhere? Can I...

No that didn't work, my computer screen froze and now every time I log on instead of getting google as my front page I'm getting that Ask Geeves thing. I really appreciate your help, its very kind of you to try and help but I think I'll buy a new scanner - mine is getting on a bit anyway.

Great, I now have the smart panel back, it's exactly the same as before. I've just tried to scan but each time I try a message comes up saying 'please install the supported TWAIN panel'. Any ideas? Thanks again.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.

That's right, I used to scan using that facility. But I must have thrown the driver/installation disc years ago, now I don't have that facility on my new PC. Thought there was maybe a way I could download the drivers from the internet or something to give me that facility again. Thanks...

I don't know what a smart panel is. Here's a picture, there's nothing else that goes with it. Thanks.

Yes I have Vista. I have downloaded that software -thank you. I can see the printer in my control panel, but I don't have any software that allows me to start the scan. It was an icon on my old PC, I used to input information, like; how many copies I wanted, where I wanted to save the...

I'd been using the same PC for years. I also used an Epson Stylus Photo RX420 for printing/scanning. I recently bought myself a new PC but now I can't see the printer/scanner. I installed the Epson printer/scanner software (drivers from the internet), I can see the printer/scanner in my...

I have built a small patio which has a slight fall onto the garden, problem is, the water puddles around the base of an existing wooden post (see the attached). Obviously this will excelerate the rotting process. Should I built a sort of concrete collar around the base of the post? The...

I have recently put a small patio and concrete slab down for the in-laws new hot tub. When the tub arrived it soon became apparent that I'd built the slab a little bit too big (see the attached picture), I think my tape measure had expanded as it was a hot day. The slab stands out a mile...
