    Condensation on walls/ceiling inside a bay window

    You first will have to work out the quantities of materials required for the job. Build the timber trusses onto the slab and maybe insulate using celutex RR insulation slab, just cut into sizes that will fit tightly between the timbers. The timber size will depend on the span but if the...

    Condensation on walls/ceiling inside a bay window

    Hi Paul, I would personally go the pitched roof way, this would then cloak the problem you have and the house would look nicer for it. FInd a small jobbing builder to quote you, it will be more expensive than trying other methods but at least you will only have to do it properly once. it could...

    horrible squeeling

    Surely you have someone who could help, maybe there is a local training establishment that do courses on vehicle maintenence, if you are that way inclined and would like to look after your car yourself then this would be a good option. The courses are not that expensive and are for an hour or so...

    horrible squeeling

    Power steering pump or belt is probably the cause, if it is the belt it may be just a case of tightening it or replacing the belt, if it is the pump then that will be more expensive, look at the belt first...other than that it could be a valve on the steering rack its self. Can you explain what...

    Cannot get heating/radiators to work

    Avoiding paper shrinkage gaps?

    A lot of good embossed papers come with a backing paper already fitted to avoid any stretching of the paper when pasting and hanging, if your paper does not have this feature then a problem lies when you apply the paste, you really need to apply the same amount of paste to each hang, leave to...

    worktop joints

    I would cut the ends straight then using a decent router machine a good edge on each, be carefull that you cut into the rolled face of the worktop in the right manor for each or else the cutter will break out the laminate. Once that has been done using a biscuit cutter cut out the slots to fit...

    IS GLUE EVER ENOUGH?!

    By the time you finish asking questions on this one you could have drilled all the holes in the wood and then drilled through the concrete, if you cut all the wooden battens to suit their positions then drill them all together, site each batten then drill the concrete you only have to change the...

    Drilling my stupid walls

    It sounds as if the inner walls are concrete, best way to go is SDS, there still may be a problem with concrete if it is reinforced, the drill will then skip off the re-bar. If this is the case you will need to either move the hole position away from the re-bar or you will be able to drill the...

    Leaving engine running without keys in

    On some performance cars the engine can continue to run on tick over to protect the turbos after switching off then automatically shut off after the required period of time, maybe our friend requires this for his turbo protection.
