WabbitPoo, I have decided to take your advice and go for an oil. I did plan to get which ever B&Q had on the shelf, Ronseal or Cuprinol. I have just read the product spec for the Ronseal Oil and it says it's water based. Is this best avoided?

Hi Thermo, Just been looking on the Liberon web site. They claim that you need to reapply the oil each year. Have you found you need to do that?

Hi All, I am planning to treat my new fence. I want a natural looking colour, perhaps a light oak'ish colour. I had looked at Cuprinol Ducks Back Autumn Gold but I'm not sure if I will get the colour I'm hoping for. Any suggestions or experiences would be appreciated.

WabbitPoo, You say to use oil and not stain. Why is this? I had planned to use a very light shade of stain on my decking 'Cuprinol Ultra Tough decking Stain Golden Maple' I was told it would last longer than oil. Is this correct?

I had the same problem, water under the floor. I got in touch with the Geological Survey. They informed me that I lived on a clay hill with glacial gravel veins running through it and one of these veins most likely ran under me house. So when it rained the veins would transmit water under...

and here are the pictures!

Here are a two pictures of the hinges and two pictures of door gaps. The pictures don't seem to show the gaps that well, trust me though they are there! Hopefully the hinge pictures will help with adjustment advice. On a previous occasion the fitters replaced some of the doors as...

Hi KenGMac, Thank you for the reply. I am thinking of getting them out again. The company have politely said to me in the past that the sort of movement and gap distortion is normal and acceptable for a bespoke kitchen made from a natural material. Some of the movement has been that bad...

Hi Big All, The hinges are not the type you see in normal kitchens but the type you would find in other furniture. There is no adjustment. JohnD, The doors appear to have swelled! and closed the gap at the bottom. If any one knows how I can adjust standard furniture hinges...

Hope you can see the picture. There is a 4mm gap at the top. At the bottom the doors are nearly touching. http://media.diynot.com/146000_145912_26716_22744922_thumb.jpg
