    Paint falling off

    We recently decorated our son's bedroom. please see attached photos. The paint is falling off the walls and there seems to be damp at the bottom of the window how do I rectify this to stop the paint from falling off. We live in a rented house and the landlord will not look at the outside windows.

    Long screwdriver bit set

    Nope, I had never thought of that. I did try using some cheap ones a while ago, but as you say they were terrible. Thanks for the heads up. I will have a look for the Milwaulkee sets. I have the Wera Impaktor bits already, they are superb. Thanks for the advice, much obliged.

    Which screws for 2 jobs

    Can you give me a link to the fast setting epoxy-resin compound? There's so many epoxies out there I don't want to get the wrong one. Would sincerely appreciate it. Thanks

    Long screwdriver bit set

    Looking for a half-decent quality long bit set. I have a few jobs coming up where these are essential. A normal set is OK but one that will take an impact driver would be better. Thank you.

    Which screws for 2 jobs

    Hi all Firstly what screws do I need to screw into your normal type of worktop underneath? Not solid wood but the chipboard type of looking one. I am making a bedroom desk with some grey worktop for my son. He has some heavy-duty legs for them (...

    Wooden bath step?

    Hi all We have a wooden step to get into the bath as it's quite a drop when getting out. It is pine and has been varnished in the past but it is looking shabby and stained now so I wanted to sand, stain and re-varnish it. I have heard Osmo products are good? What are the products I need to stain...

    Chainsaw

    Thanks everyone. I have bought the over trousers, ear defenders, gloves and mask. I think I will go for a battery or corded one. I won't be using it that much and my local college does a weekend course on chainsaw safety I will look into. Thank you all

    Chainsaw

    Total beginner looking for a chainsaw to do some small tree felling. They are not big, perhaps 10" tops, I don't know whether or not to go petrol, battery or corded. Something I may only use the once so budget around £150 is perhaps my limit. Any advice appreciated. Thank you

    Sharpening Secateurs

    Thank you for the replies. Much obliged. One more ? on sharpening. I have a brand new set of Irwin Marples Chisels, how do I go about keeping these sharp? I bought one of the diamond sharpeners, link above, but I am guessing I need something flatter, perhaps a stone but have no idea what are...

    Sharpening Secateurs

    My wife's Felcos have not been sharpened since we bought them 5 years ago and it's showing. What do I need to buy to sharpen them? I don't want anything electric, I'd prefer to do it manually. Thanks Li

    Re-Varnishing

    I have a varnished pine window sill, around 6 foot long. It has gone a little dull over time so I wish to redo it. What's the best way to re-varnish it? Sand it all back and start from scratch or would a light sand and a new coat of varnish suffice. I'd like it really shiny so don't mind...
