    Advice on buying a drill

    I was going to suggest Screwfix but thought she would need to talk to someone about what she wanted. I have never been into a builders merchant that comes close to the selection or prices that B&Q offer.

    Apart from silent closing, they also allow the whole drawer to be pulled out and also take upto 50kilos in weight.

    Advice on buying a drill

    Try one of the B&Q warehouse stores, there is a large selection. If you can, find a member of staff over 12 to run through what the drills do etc.

    Where can I get kitchen door dampers?

    The system needs to be fitted before the drawer is assembled, because of the large holes needed on the bottom. The sides of the cabinet could be done once the unit is installed but it would be much easier to do before, if it is supplied as a flat pack it would be even more easy. I know £25...

    scariest film you've ever seen.

    I seem to remember reading a poll where the shower scene in Psycho was voted the scariest of all time. 1 or 2 from the Exorsist come a close second.

    Where can I get kitchen door dampers?

    You can get the dampers from Woodfit 01257 266421. You can get Blumotion drawer runners at the same place. I have never been asked to fit them so cannot say what is a fair price to pay. I would say that the biggest problem in a diy fit is the 45mm hole required in the drawer bottom, all...

    Once again, thanks everyone. Tex, good tip about polar bear livers, that explains why my butcher looked at me like I was mad when I last asked for one.

    Anyboby know how to deal with tennis elbow?

    Thanks everyone, I did not expect such a good response. I have taken cod liver oil for years, only the one a day capsules. Masona, that looks interesting I might give it a go. Warran, I have had 4 corticosteriod injections and ultrasound, the last time a year ago. This is by far the...

    Anyboby know how to deal with tennis elbow?

    Grasping at straws really but does anyone know how to deal with it. I have had it for about 10 years and the Doc. now says it's a waste of time giving me any more injections. He reckons it's the result of too much screwing ( god if only that was true) His suggestion was that I retire...

    Sink Change-over.

    Following on from above comment regarding sizes. Frankie do a slightly bigger than normal sized sink, which after small modification to the cut out will fit MOST exsisting installations. It costs around £110 but is high quality. I would be inclinded to try smaller shops, I'd be...

    Distance required between cooker hob and wall units

    Until fairly recently the instructions given with the hob were concerned with the distances above, I think it was assumed that wall units would end in line with the width of the hob and most extractor housings were designed for this. I noticed a few months ago there was a gap recommendation...

    ZANUSSI Oven Door

    I had the same thing with a whirlpool oven, replacement cost was very high. I could not get anything to stick it, that was 6 years ago things might have changed since then. I ended up making a couple of brackets and rivited them to the inside of the door, lasted this long.

    With some of the people I do work for that " one hour a year" would take more planning than WW2.

    single colour kitchen work tops

    I love real wood worktops they look great, I also enjoy putting them in they require more skill than laminate, which makes me have to kick start what's left of my brain. I believe they will get more popular but then the bubble will burst as people begin to realise, that you have to look after...

    single colour kitchen work tops

    Proberly supply & demand, I've got hundreds of fob sized samples and only ever get asked to supply about a dozen styles, most people it seems have similar tastes. On the strength of your question I went through them and apart from white could only find 3 shades of grey, some come pretty close...

    single colour kitchen work tops

    Yes you can get plain colours, there is not a massive choice but they are there. Your best bet is to find a local specialist supplier in yellow pages, if you can't find anything phone Andersons in Colchester who are the main importers, they can tell you who is local to you. If you are...

    3.75 over 6ft., not even worth worrying about, I've had them far worse than that. As Big All says they do sort themselves out.
