Well - they've already brought in laws to prevent us doing gas fitting work, or fitting a replacement window (unless we pay the local planning department £100), or putting in an extra 3pin socket, so it's maybe only a matter of time before we can't (legally) do any plumbing work or do any work...

I knocked the corner off one of the uprights on my sectional concrete garage. I refixed it using Unibond. That was fifteen years ago!

You could try PVA Unibond - as long as you keep the weather off it until its dried.

I wouldn't have thought so. Was it built with building control approval? I built a 10'x10' kitchen extension on my house in 1978, and even as long ago as that, the trenches had to go way below the house footing. In fact, just over a metre deep.

You're right! it would be likely to be expensive. In my opinion, MFI kitchens are better than B&Q. Probably B&Q get fewer complaints than MFI, but purely from a fitting point of view. Over the years, I've fitted several MFI kits for myself and daughters. I would suggest you draw up your...

Have you got a frost stat fitted that you don't know about? Sorry! I didn't see the previous post!

My Wickes power shower, which I think is also made by Mira gets like yours after around two years of use. To free up the control knob spindle, the control valve needs to be detached from the motor, stripped down and all the moving parts and 'O' rings smeared with silicone grease. Make a...

You're right - the first line of tiles are resting on the board. Also all the guttering needs to come off. Due to the length of the materials, it's a two man job, preferably working on a platform.

You need at least four inches. Look in any DIY store at their rolls fibre matting.

No! it isn't necessary to use plastic corners. In fact, I hate them.

Just watched it on the video this morning. A lovely programme about a very likeable bloke.

I fitted an opener to my daughters garage door. It's an up and over with canopy. I used the kit from Wickes and it was quite straight forward to fit after a bit of fine tuning to get it right. It works fine - trouble is she's too lazy to put the car in the garage.
