Crank39 - Was hoping you would comment, the only drainage is in the threshold and the two side windows. It's face drained and there is no cill, the door is fitted almost flush with the outside brickwork. Woody - I'm interested in your opinion also, I though or more to the point would have...

When my plumber started work on my boiler he brought both his sons, one was his appo the other just tagging along, was quite surprised to see the youngest maybe 12 or so changing out the radiator tails for thermostatic valves, he did a bloody good job too. My mate worked as a brickie for a...

I had an expensive front door fitted into an arched opening over summer, seemed fine until the bad weather came along and now it's started leaking badly around the frame. It seems to leak at numerous points around the frame from about handle height downwards. I've had the installers out...

I hear you on the curtain rails, especially the plastic ones that come coiled up!

Apprenticeship in data\comms - £50 per week in 2003, how I survived I have no idea.

I've these wardrobes, pretty good quality as far as flat packed stuff goes, when you break your back trying to load them onto your trolley you will see what I mean. they will come with a metal bracket you attach to the inside top corner of the wardrobe, all you need to do is push the...

I live in a semi and have some guttering issues I was meant to address over the summer but forgot :lol: How many downpipes would each half of your average semi be expected to have, I only have one at the rear of my house that has to deal with the full volume of water. I notice my...

BAN THEM!!!!! :evil: :lol:

Snico - You are right, they are pretty rare and more of a collectors album these days, only made for a few months in 1987 to coincide with the launch of the Jem. I actually owned a PRS Custom 24 prior to this, although a nice guitar I much prefer the sound and overall feel of the Jem (though...

That about what I paid for it, I saw one sell for £2,300 recently on ebay, as you say though, only a few £ out. :lol:

Come on them Joe, let's have your valuation on one of mine. Ibanez Jem 777LNG, limited run of 777 signed at the factory by Steve Vai.

Richard C's method works well. I had to do that on 90% of the frames in my house, straight wood hadn't been invented in the 1930's, evidently.

I won't be varnishing it for definate, thanks for the tips, will try a bit on the underside of the table and see which works best.

My local tramp shops in the Co-op, if he can afford to buy thier overpriced cr@p then he obviously doesnt need the donations.

You just wouldn't mess with someone as mental as that wearing a T-shirt with "I am a MotherF*****" on the back. :lol:

I've just bought a pine table, the surface is quite badly watermarked where glasses etc have been left. The current finish is some kind of a wax. Just wondering how is best to strip and sand the tabletop, I assume the waxyness needs to be removed first?

The Westie was not trained properly then. I've a Siberian Husky, a breed that while of good intelligence are notoriously headstrong and a nightmare to train. When her food is put down she is made to wait until I say she is allowed to eat, it can be (and should be) taken away from her to...

I did one at my girlfriends dads house a few months back, probably a 10 meter span by 6 or so tall. Easiest way is to leave a decent length on the trunk for leverage, dig down UNDER the roots coming off the base of the tree and use an Axe/Splitting maul on them until it's free. If the tree is...

I did similar when renovating my bedroom. I removed the old lath and plaster under the window, filled with insulation board, built a frame out of 2x4" filled this with insulation board also, made sure any gaps around the window were filled with expanding foam, covered the framework with...

I take it you do a lot of work in council houses, or your general clientele is just rough as feck. :lol: The understairs shower is probably my favourite, who can stand back and admire that as a job done well. :lol:
