It's another option, but trust me, living on the West of Scotland, we really have no shortage of water :lol: I think I'd rather have a watertight roof.

Aye... previous owner had 4 kids, which in my mind points the finger directly at him, and a bodge DIY job. Tw@t..... I'm now lined up for a 4-figure roof-repair, weeks before Wifey's 40th b'day, Christmas, and kids birthdays in January!

It's an option. I've an old plastic 200-gallon water-tank in the shed I could use. On second thoughts, maybe I'll just get the roof properly repaired :lol: Here's some pics ... you can see watermarks *everywhere* ! In this one, you can clearly see where it's coming in...

I'll get one.... that bucket will be there until the roof's fixed!

Not my DIY disaster, but one that I inherited when I bought this place. Have been troubled by water coming in through kitchen ceiling for a while now. Strangely intermittent - not more frequent during heavy rain, but a few days prolonged light rain brings it in. Anyway, kitchen has a large...

WTF's that then?

Still nobody's telling me where I can get the right dimmers?! :shock:

Dave - cheers for that. I'm still struggling to find a UK supplier of any of those - MK seem to have it all wrapped up here! Know any online retailer that does these? Steve - they're not GU10's - although you can get them. ebulbshop.com have a huge range - great prices and great service, BTW...

Cheers Haitch 720mm will be fine for depth - I've measured it out. Plenty room for 19" flat-screen monitor, keyboard and elbows :D

Blimey. Looks like you've moved into a converted office - you can see where the ceiling lights were! With my degree in Rocket Science, I would suggest you turn your roller round, so that the "free" end of the roller is next to the curve. Then roller round the cutting-in line you've drawn...

I'm refitting a small room as home office. I want to have a full-width (wall-to-wall) desk under a window along the short wall. Span is 2700mm. Supports along edges and back wall would be screwed into studs. I'm looking at using a 27mm x 720mm length of hardwood kitchen worktop - beech, with...

OK, the boys have been and laid Karndean type vinyl flooring in the hosue, and very nice it looks too. Now I need your top tip for getting the dishwasher, fridge and (heavy) washing machine slid into their under-counter slots in the kitchen, without scratching the new floor. Cheers folks.
