Hi I have a Ryobi cordless drill which I find useful for all sorts of jobs around the house. The smallest of the drill bits has snapped and I'm having trouble finding replacements. Can anyone help guide me to somewhere on the internet to buy replacements. Thanks.

Today, I put up me first ever shelf . . . in the shed. Rather pleased with myself. Read a few books, reasearched this forum and went for it and I have to say I'm rather pleased with myself. Added two extra battens securely fixed with outdoor screws and pre dilled pilot holes to avoid...

Thanks for all the replies. We do get a bit of a pong coming from the plug 'ole occasionally if the bath is not used for a few days but it only happens now and again. I think we can live with it. Also, the side of the bath was fitted rather poorly, screws were not aligned well at all...

Hi, there are areas in my lawn which I need to reseed and I'm just wondering if Feb/March time is an OK time to be doing this. Also, any tips for this activity in terms of prep and selection of seed. Many thanks.

My thinking also . . . and thats something I can fix fairly easily just disappointing it wasn't done correctly in the first place. And disappointing response from the builder. It's the shallow bath trap which causes me most concern.

We moved in to our new house two years ago. We've had a plumber round recently to have a look at putting us in an outside tap at the rear of the property and he has raised a couple of concerns over the fitting of our bath. The bath in the property has been fitted with a shallow seal bath...

aaaa

Great work !!

Thanks. And what sort of mixture for the pointing, wet or dry . . . what ratio sand/cement? Any tips gratefully received.

Really ?? . . . no easier simpler method ?

Hi, grateful for some advice on how to repair the pointing in our garden paving. Some small holes have appeared and need repair. Please see attached photos. Many thanks.

Thanks for all the replies. ColJack, here is a top down photo. Does it help? Also, can I ask . . . plumber has mentioned that the whole bath may need to come out to replace the taps, would that be correct? See photo. Thanks.

Yes I can. The tap top just seems to spin round outside the little white plastic cap. Even buying several new caps doesn't seem to work. The cold water tap seems to be going the same way.

We've had trouble with our bath taps ever since we moved in to our new house 2 years ago, now the hot water tap has just given up completely. We don't have the fitting instructions and our builders just aren't interested now so we're left to our own devices. The tap fitting just goes...
