Does a pressure washer use water or just air? Will the weeds grow in the winter too? Should I buy any weed killer stuff?

Hi all Just hoping for some advice. I would like to get my driveway cleaned and also the little bits of weeds removed and treated so they don't come back too soon. I have been given a quote for £160 to pressure wash the drive way but that seems quite expensive? Would it not be cheaper to buy...

Hello all We have moved into a property recently and it has a belling oven. They previois owners left a manual for it but the symbols in the manual do not match what's on the oven and we don't know if if one of those symbols is a bread symbol and if so why does it have an A next to it. Also we...

Ok thanks I am debating to do it myself or get someone to do it. I've bought a replacement here.

Hi all My daughter is autistic and she hit her doll against the socket and the plastic broke. Can I myself just replace the plastic with a new cover or is the plastic attached to the wires and need an electrician to do it? Would the electric need to be turned off on just the breaker for those...

Just that in my last home, after a smart metre was fitted the electric kept tripping. May have been a coincidence but just thought that I wanted to have it on its own breaker, but guess that wouldn't make any sense really as if it was faulty as it's the electric metre then we would have no...

Thanks. Is the present one on its own fuse circuit so if something goes wrong with it and it trips, it won't trip anything else in the home?

Hi all Just booked in for a smart metre, bit nervous if I am doing the right thing. Also wanted to know if it will be connected to the electric with its own fuse spark isolator ie if something goes wrong with it that it won't trip anything else in my property? Here's the current set up ie a...

Thanks so I would just get a bit of wood like the one in the picture and apply the Fixall to the back of it and then stick it to the concrete wall? (Even though the wall is not smoothe it's like that small soft rugged lumpy paint?) And then just screw in the new lights to the wood?

Hi all I am trying to put up another light in the back garden and went out with my screw driver and screws. However the piolet drill bit I think is meant for wood and it wouldn't drill into the concrete wall. I am guessing anyway I will need to attach a small block of wood like this one as you...

Hi all I bought a stapler on amazon and dont understand what the thin staples are for ie the U and T type. Are they are supposed to work with the wider staples? Do I load them the same? When I use the wider staples and stapling things after every 3 or 4 it stops working and I have to reload...

Something I saw on YouTube. What about something like this? Not sure what kind of staple gun I would need? Any idea? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07B63XPPW/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1PY5LZZWKVRVS&psc=1

The woods in decent condition. No issues with wind here, very sheltered Hiw about just getting some Wood latch bundles and a nail gun? Need a total of 195 wood latches though over 185cm in height and 83 of them need to have a width of over 7 1/2cm as some of the gaps are 7 1/2cm. The rest of...

Hi all We recently moved into a new home and wanted to add some privacy and fill the gaps in between fence panels. Does anyone know a fast and cheap way of doing this? The gaps are all different sizes. Some 3 inches some 2 inches. I don't really want to put up a new gapless fence like some...

Ofcourse it's end of, if either of us said no they aren't going up. Just out of interest (even though we WILL not be getting them) but isn't it a invasion of privacy and don't loads of people have them? But why? Dont they know they have big brother potential surveillance inside the privacy of...

Hi all Just wanted some advice please? I thought it would be a good idea to put up Ring security cameras in the living room, kitchen and my wife's work from home area. My wife said no so ofcourse they won't now be going up. We were going to get some to keep an eye on the house when out and we...

Sure

Hi all Hoping for some advice? Recently moved into a new home and two of the bedroom doors won't close as it appears they are too big? Please see pic. What do I do to get the doors to fit? Don't really want to scrape them down but can't see any other option? Thanks all
