    Patio door strip thing

    Well, if it lifts off? You could just seal under the door, if that's where the draught is coming from? Either way, it should stop the air movement. Have a go, and let us know how it went. On a less windy day, when you can't feel the air coming through, but wanna confirmed it sealed, just...

    Patio door strip thing

    You're welcome. Anytime. I can make out the L shape plastic piece, which just pushes up against the white plastic, and the laminate floor? Glue both side and stick it on. The second piece? Looks like its there to tidy it up? Glue it on too, either way. Just to confirm, is that a laminate...

    Garden Wall

    Need to dig a footing? Did someone advise you to? The present footing should suffice unless you were to in erase height or width of this wall. Any chance you could upload a picture? I'm the mean time, if your budget allows, I'd suggest looking into Gabion baskets.

    I need a bike!

    I found a few good ones, you're right. Is that so? Ok. Fully sus'd ones are apparently 'too bouncy' when you ride on Tarmac? More because the rear sus takes away some of the power from the push on the pedals? Hardtail MTB, like a Scott Aspect 740 2015? Thinking of traveling to a local bike...

    Can anyone identify this (washing machine?) part?!

    I think I know what this is... Washing machine drums are secured to the rear body panel during transit, from depot to store, and to the buyers house, where they personally unscrew the bolts prior to pluging in and starting the machine; they are there to stop the drum hitting the sides during...

    Can anyone identify this (washing machine?) part?!

    At first glance, I would say it looks like a reducer between two pipes? I'm on my iPad so I can do a google search, but if you drag and drop the saved image into the google search bar, it should come up with a million and a half results for images like and similar. Or just walk into Curry's...

    Patio door strip thing

    Ooo, I forgot to mention, wipe clean/vacuum all areas where the strip will join onto. Fill in any holes where you see necessary to stop a draught coming through too. Any more Q's, then just pop back here, and ask away.

    Hey Brigadier. I'm over here with the shire folk, in Lancashire, where the roads aren't perfect, but the bike will used primarily on Tarmac, where I'm looking at an average mileage of 15miles stamina training, a week. Downhills? I'll leave that for the ones with bones made of titanium! :/ A...

    Gaps in skirting

    Depends on the gaps. Skirting boards fitted on uneven walls, or badly fitted skirting is not ascetically pleasing.

    I need a bike!

    That thought has been at the back of my mind, but now you mention it... It would have to be # within drivable distance, incase I have to return the bike for whatever reason. # a business that has been established long enough to have a good reputation for quality bikes.
