By adding extra timber may inadvertantly add to your creaking problem, I would try adjusting the wedges in the first instance.

It maybe just the case of knocking the wedges already there further in of if you require new ones I would find out where a local manufacturer of stairs was and purchase them from them. You should find a joiners shop nearby that would accomodate your needs.

I think that if you use ordinary paints on poly sheet they will soon start to peel, I would look at using an etch primer on the poly sheet first before applying any finishing coat maybe something suitable for use for fibreglass. If you could get an off cut to practice on this would be a good...

Can you easily get to the underside of the staircase? If so you should be able to see if the treads and risers are tightened with wedges. if so then the wedges can be used to re tighten the staircase thus reducing or eliminating the creaking.

Think about it!!! 2 large people on a bed, the bed has 6 small casters with a surface area of probably less than 100mm square. overall approx weight 200kg. = 33kg per caster .

Why should you want the CH on without the HW, it seems strange to say this in the instructions. All the systems I have fitted have had perminant HW and switchable CH. The HW regulates itself with the thermostats.

Here here, well done Woody, there are too many young people that want qualifictions handed to them on a plate in fact they want it all for nothing, no wonder this country is getting in such a state. By the looks of this one another cowboy is at birth.... I teach engineering and when I started...

You could look on e-bay someone may have the size you want for sale in either wood frame or UPVC, or even try a doubleglazing firm, sometimes they have mis fits in stock which they sell of at reduced prices. Other than that why dont you price up the timber and make one.

Ever thought it may not be the engine but something else maybe ceasing when hot, maybe something has got caught up in the chain mechanism causing overheating when in use then causing the engine to stall or the chain needs some lube..

Hi, Most carcases are 18mm these days and the hinges are designed to suit so you using 15mm board will effect the way the doors fit, be aware of this because the doors from one unit to another will hit each other when closed. The back edges would sit wide of the carcase and the gaps between...

Do you live in a bungalow or house? Fire regulations differ for each. Have you submitted plans and gained the necessary permissions? Lots of things need to be considered which will become apparent along the way, without knowing what you are after it would be difficult to tie things down...

I sat the stair case in place, adjusted it so the stairs were level and square to the landing, packed out the string where the screws were to be placed, drilled and fitted the Fischer screws and tightened. Packers could be used if the floor is not level under either one of the strings. I...

1) Kettle 2) Toaster 3) Microwave 4) TV 5) Beer fridge Not necessarily in that order.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

When I fitted my staircase I only screwed it to the wall at the side using Fischer screws, the case supported at the top by the strings which were notched. For a full length case I used probably only 6, it depends on how good the fix is. The fillets usually come with the hand rail and base rail...

Crap, WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP PICKING UP ON OLD POSTS, arrrgh :evil: :? :shock:

Are the units flat pack or ready made? The unit can parallelogram if not assembled correctly, when measuring using a level from front to back and side to side will only give you horizontal readings, you also have to level vertically to ensure the unit is square, by not doing this will cause...

I posted this for someone a while ago and there should be some tips within it :- Richard Burbidge does a very good range of stair newels, spindles and rails, The last set I fitted for a friend of mine was to replace square newels and boarded rails with turned newels and spindles, the old...

Where is the picture..?

If you want it to be really expensive take it there, you will get a nice new set of tyres, a new exhaust, four new shockers and anything else you want to be duped into..... a local garage is the best bet if you dont want to do it yourself No one can fit you up better than a quick fit-up...
