I'm pleased to report, this afternoon I noticed large patches of green fuzz have stated appearing. If I'm quick will I be able to get more grass to grow, or have I missed my chance until the Spring now?

My neighbour put new grass seed down 15th September (to be precise), after a week he had lots of new grass, so I decided to copy him. I put my down 29th September, 2 weeks have passed - nothing! I kept it watered at all times. Did I narrowly miss the window? Thanks.

I bought 9 small silver birch a few weeks ago. I've been so busy I've not yet prepared the area to plant, I'm hoping to get them planted this weekend. Is it too late to plant them now, I'm worried if we get a frost it will kill them? Many thanks.

Thanks for your help gentlemen.

The door on our wardrobe has warped in. It's fine at the bottom, it's just the top. Any advice on how to bend it back out again please? Many thanks.

There will be a fall from the deep end towards the far wall, that's the only drainage. There shouldn't be much water as our house is only 3 metres behind where I took the picture from anyway.

Thanks for your reply. That's what I thought, and yes, It is well protected from high winds. It would be good to get any other views also; good or bad.

I'm digging the earth out so I can have a low level deck built. As you can see quite a lot of soil has come out close to the garden wall, I want to keep removing soil right the way around to the expansion joint on the wall (shown on the picture). I just got a tiny bit concerned abut the...

I'm going to build some stud to divide the room, It will continue in line with the small wall (shown here with the horizontal wallpaper). I only want to skim the new stud up to the existing small wallpapered wall. How far back should the new stud be positioned; 2 or 3mm? Thanks.
