how could you move away.you,re unlikly to sell your house .i,d love to see the house viewers faces when they get to the back garden.

agree about the boring planet. although i wouldn,t want one of his designs in my garden they are if nothing else interesting to look at and aspects of them are good .it,s just the praticalities that get me.i,d get bored and want to dig it up in five years becauce lets face it his designs are a...

sounds like this neads digging up and doing again . ask yourself; 1/ did he use a wacker plate to tamper down the gravel? 2/ if it was a hot day did he cover it with plastic to get the hardest surface possible? 3/ did he lay it at a frosty time of year? 4/ if it,s used for parking a car on...

artex can be skimmed with plaster as long as the artex is coated with 1 part pva adhesive mixed with 4 parts water.leave it to dry for an hour or so. this ensures the plaster doesn,t fall off. seeing as you,d probably have to skim the ceiling after stripping it anyway this seems a sensible...

touchy eh? i,ve got no gazebo,no decking.just plain good taste. this guy is the worst and most annoying garden celebrity on t.v! anyone agree /disagree with me?

some people have no taste, mr gavin is one of them.

your staircase should have 2m of headroom above the top step.{u.k.building reg,s} hope this helps with the positioning. velux windows are far quicker and cheaper to install than dorma.

check this out at your local town council. i,d recommend getting an architect to draw you some plans up. it,ll cost you £200+ but it,ll save you a lot of hassle.

i,m in the building trade and think this would have to be made to order.thats if you could find someone to make it.i,ve never seen draught excluder that big in 20 years on building sites.. wouldn,t it be possible to build it out with timber battens and then put a slimmer strip of draught...

i,d nail them at 45 degrees and fill the nail hole with wood filler.

it might be better to fix a mixer tap to the wall above the bath as was probably intended for the style of bath you,ve chose.

a standard sheet of mdf is 2.4m x 1.2m.

evostick softens with heat.use a hair dryer on full blast or a hot air gun.then scrape it off.

try a hot air gun first,gently scraping the paint off as not to scratch the tiles. this is a much cheaper alterative to all the paint strippers you can buy, some of which are useless. same with the bath,whatever they put on the bath hasn,t taken properly and will have to be stripped. [Edited...

i,m a dryliner/ceiling fixer by profession. if the ceiling joists are level with each other just use nails or screws {galvanised} to nail up 6ftx3ft plasterboards{12.5 mm}.nail them directly to the joists cutting the boards so they land half on the joist.any questions let me know. if your...

if you paint them water the first coat of paint down as they,ll be very absorbant. if they,re sound there,s no reason you can,t use them as a base for other coverings.

have you tried using something like swarfega.

i,m a professional dryliner.i,d use 6x3 duplex boards{foiled back]made by british gypsum if your roof doesn,t have felt under the tiles.if you do have felt use normal 6x3 wallboard .to get them in the loft just run a knife ,using a straight edge,neatly down the middle of the board,then snap the...

fill the gap with silicone as this indeed will stay flexible . but you still have the problem of what caused the crack. do you live in an area with mine workings .?do other neighbouring houses have cracks?. basically fill the gaps with silicone to keep the weather out but keep a close eye on...

you dont say if the crack in the the bay is up or downstairs. if you have a mortgage on the property you should be insured against subsidence.dont cover up the cracks without seeking professional advice .good luck.
