You're spot on Freddie, they all know each other and because we are from the South where according to the locals round here anyone from the South has a bottomless pit of money. Good suggestion, i'll use someone from outside the area and you're right about the banjo players too!

Hi, I know its a bit of a cheeky question but given the fact that we live in the middle of nowhere and getting any advice by a tradesman is seemingly impossible, I think you may be my only hope. I need to get 3 things done to my roof.... 1. repointing the chimney stack, small area maybe 1...

For all you cat haters out there, heres something to keep you amused for hours, even days!!! http://www.burstfilms.com/games/kitten.html Enjoy....

Thanks. I actually phoned the ford dealer and they did on fact get the paint code from my registration. Trouble is, they seemed to think that Id only get it from a ford dealer, but then they would think that wouldnt they!!

Help, I am trying to find the paint code on a Ford Mondeo. Ive looked on the drivers side door pillar and theres a label but I have no idea if one of the figure is the paint code. Ive looked under the bonnet and theres nothing and to be honest I dont really know what im looking for. The...

I had to add my weight to the "hate cats" argument. I cant stand the b****y things. They are totally pointless. My ex wanted a cat so we went to the local home for unwanted, pointless, disloyal, smelly and retarded animals and found one with a dodgy leg. After the hours of listening to the ex...

Hi, At the rear of our house we have a large area which is overgrown and we intend to make it a garden. The problem is, there is about 8 feet of flat fairly level ground then the earth rises almost vertically up about 4 feet. It then levels out and is quite flat. We want to build a stone...

Definately prime the plasterboard first. Ive just spent almost 2 weeks trying to get wallpaper off bare plasterboard and it was a nightmare. The next person to decorate the room will thank you for it!!!

Hi, I have a metallic blue mondeo and there are a handful of scratches that I want to remove. Some are very light and I could polish out but some have gone through the paint to the primer. Is there a product that anyone can recommend as being good for this. I know Tcut is meant to be good...

Hi, I am going to have a new bathroom installed and would ideally like a power shower. My plumber has told me that a pump can be fitted to the system to enable a power shower to be put in. I was under the impression that this isnt possible if the hot water is heated by a combi boiler. Is...

Great, thanks for the advice.

Hi, A few months ago I put some shelves in our garage and put my tools away. When I went to use my router yesterday I noticed that there is a build up of rust on some of the bits. I assume this has been caused by moisture build up. Its not too serious and I have now put them indoors. Can...

Thanks everyone for your advice, will look at all your suggestions. Cheers.

We had the same problem in our house, 3 windows all below the worktop height. We fixed some oak (matches units) along the back of the worktop where the sash windows are. Then we tiled the sill and it looks fine, even from the outside. Had similar problem in our previous house, builder quoted...

I would like to purchase a good quality multimeter, can anyone recommend a good brand that is not too expensive but will last me?? Thanks very much.

The previous owner of our house installed main halogen spots in the kitchen and because the ceiling isnt in the best of shape it looks like he had some difficulty putting them in. As a result, there are large rings of expanding foam around each fitting in the loft. Where they have got hot, the...

Hi, I have a spare bedroom that we are going to decorate. Basically, the room is papered 3/4 up then there is a border running round the room. We would like to remove all of it and start again, however, the problem is the paper has been stuck directly to the plaster board. The room was never...

Hi, I have 2 wall lights and a ceiling light in a bedroom, controlled by a 2 way switch. I want to remove the wall lights completely. If I re-route the wall light cables to 2 round pin sockets and put round pin plugs on 2 table lamps, these can then be controlled by the switch on the wall...
