Hi I need some advice and hope someone can help... 1 Recently I became aware of an unusual noise in my house. The sound of flowing water through some, or one of my water pipes in the bathroom (ground level). There is no evidence of any leak and there seems to be no loss of water pressure...

The helpfulness of people here never ceases to impress me. Thanks a lot. Much appreciated guys. I was about to add that your garage looks like a palace Mr Warrington (I know it's not yours now).

Hello I have gathered quite a bit of various woods over the period of my DIY'ing' and am in need of a storage solution as the amount I have is just taking up valuable space in the house. Lots of different types but mainly... Oak skirtings - full lengths and sizable offcuts Antique pine...

Watsit 1 Possibly for making a thread in a hole. Watsit 2 Some sort of butchers tool ? or a gardening tool - for roughing up the earth ? (yes I believe that is a technical term used among avid gardeners) Not THE famous whisker 1000 from 1845 ?

If there is not a major rush then I would take my time in replacing any severely cracked tiles with reclaimed tiles (ensuring a good match) You will have to have a look for some private sellers on the internet perhaps. I actually got mine by visiting a reclaim yard. If you do this then be...

More likely you will have to invest in some reclaims. You cant by these tiles new and reproductions are now metric rather than imperial so you will end up with colour variation, texture variation and a subtle size difference. All equating to something that will ultimately look rubbish. If...

You sure you're not talking mm rather than cm ? There are standards and regulations that have to be met by building control if you are going to be doing a structural conversion. The standard sized joists for a domestic dwelling I believe are 7x2 (inch). There are 8x2 (inch) also available...

I dont see why using wood in a bathroom for this use would be a problem. For a shelf... I would go ahead and use the pine you want and just ensure generous oiling (and oil once a month for 3 months) then as often as needed after that. If water cant penetrate it then its not going to suffer...

Exact situation I was in when I bought my house Had a few electricians come round General conclusion was that the house needed complete rewire so. . . Get a few quotes and advice from the electrician on what you can do and cant do and what you can touch etc... If I remember correctly...

If its not possible to locate a hidden leak through lack of obvious signs maybe you can identify a likely area of the leak (daft that it may seem but its an idea). Can you remember if any pipe work was knocked or damaged in any way when the new floors were fitted ? Perhaps you have had...

Plaster boards are supposed to be fire retardent and the poly sheet will render it flamable. Another point. Common sense tells me moisture could possibly build up between the poly sheet and the board. Much better idea is to go get some more of the foil backed. Better be safe than sorry.
