    Mitre saw

    Building a built in wardrobe

    Have a fairly big space around 2.5m wide and 500mm deep that I want to turn into a fitted wardrobe. I am fairly handy and should be able to knock up the frame easily. The only problem I have is how do I go about fitting sliding doors? what sort of tracks will I need? Preferably want...

    Circular saw and router

    Well it depends entirely on what you plan to use it on, there are plenty of jigs which won't work with a 1/2 router and I wouldn't fancy trying to cut through a worktop with a cheapo 1/2 router... I've got the trend 1/4 inch and a Dewalt 1/2 inch router and use them both equally. The...

    Fitting Bathroom Fan / cutting asbestos sofit

    Get a 100mm arbor bit and drill through it with a mask. I've done it hundreds of times with no problems, just need to be carefull. If you're worried about doing that you can always just drill a hole straight into the fascia, just because the piping is 100mm doesn't mean the vent has to be...

    Strange width doors.

    I think I am just going to get standard size doors from wickes, cut them down and re build them, just taking half the width from each side. Bit of a pain in the arse but should be ok with a bit of woodglue and a couple of pins.

    Strange width doors.

    Replacing a few very old doors in my kitchen. They're a rather odd size 1930 x 710 and 1900 x 700 I just want to chuck in a couple of cheap moulded doors and can't seem to find anything this width. The height isn't a problem as it should be easy enough to cut 40mm from the top and bottom...

    Advantages to using a heat gun.

    I have been reading these forums a fair bit since I've joined up and had noticed quite a few people talking about heat guns, basically I was wondering are they worth picking up? I don't do a massive ammount of decorating jobs but if it would save me a bit of time here and there It's got to be...

    I think my aerial might be knackered - thoughts?

    I'm not sure if the aerial ever worked, I moved into the house and the aerial was in place with about 5 meters of cable haning from the aerial down to the fascia and then cut. Any idea which end cap coulour for Southampton? What do you mean by trying a different local transmitter? Thanks :)

    I think my aerial might be knackered - thoughts?

    Yeah I remembered that the tv coax was more expensive than satelite, I just assumed coax was the stuff to go for. The stuff I've been using is the cheaper stuff you've explained, plastic between the copper core and the copper braid. Will check to see if there is an anolouge picture and...

    I think my aerial might be knackered - thoughts?

    Hi Colin thanks for the reply. I have already done all the cabling and just used the stanard co-axial cable, I think it was £30 for 100m from Wickes. I've had a look at that site thanks, I think tomorrow I'll redo the joint from existing cable to the new and make sure it's perfect then...

    Dulux Trade Weathershield Gloss Vs International Ext Gloss

    Today I picked up some Weathershield Undercoat and Gloss £35 each for 2.5l so I hope it's the best! One question - It says two coats of undercoat followed by one coat of gloss, will it need both coats of undercoat if the wood I'm painting is the same colour? Seems a bit overkill. I do...

    I think my aerial might be knackered - thoughts?

    I've bought a signal strength meter and it seems to be picking up some sort of signal, annoyingly though the coaxial points i've used don't fit into the meter so I just had to take them off and poke the cable into the reader which seemed to work ok. I then ran the cable straight from the...

    I think my aerial might be knackered - thoughts?

    I have borrowed a little adapter to join two coaxial plugs so i'll be able to test that tomorrow, just the aerial straight down to the tv in my bedroom. I think it's probably that as well (maybe a dud amplifier), however when I looked at the wire it looked fine and the connections where...
