Hi i'm trying to fit a showerscreen, pretty much the same as the one below. I've drilled the holes in the wall channel,and the tiles, and fixed the wall channel to the wall. The problem is when i try to slot the screen into the wall channel. It simply won't go in, and it looks like the 2...

Yes should be no problem. I have a similar setup in my lounge, seperating the dining room. I have 5 doors, they were there when we moved in. they run on one single track. The only difference is that my doors each had 4 panels of i think they call it flemish glass, it's slightly obscure. I...

I would personally go for a core drill. I had a Sparky (about £150), and it was pretty good. I used it mainly for drilling out boiler flues, and it lasted years, so i can't see it being a problem with smaller diameters.

I've been having to look into a complicated inheritance tax situation for a family member, and i am pretty sure, no inheritance tax will be payable. as others have stated, only estates over 325K are liable basically. the seven year threshold is designed to minimise liability over the period of...

There is some sort of fault. It takes ages to copy a programme recorded on Hard drive, to DVD. Today, its so far taken 3 hrs to copy 50% of a 1hour prog. Can anyone suggest what the problem may be, it used to transfer a lot more quickly. Also, finalising a disc is becoming hit and miss. Cheers

Update. Ive put the connector block from the light fitting on the ceiling wire. Wires from the ceiling- 1=red, 1= red with black sheath at top. The black wire i've reconnected to the other black wires in the connector block in the ceiling,which you cant see in the photo. The other wires...

Came back from a couple of days away to find the chandelier in the hall has fallen down. An electrician fitted it, but basically when i've looked he's just screwed into the lathe and plaster. Complete bodge.It was never gonna hold for long with the weight. I cant get hold of him so.. I,ve...

Yes, i had a couple of packs stored in the garage, but when i opened them, found out they'd warped over time. So it's gonna have to be a new floor. I think it would have been impossible to get a repair looking half decent anyway. Thanks anyway.

the bathroom sprang a leak while we were away, came back to find water pouring through to the kitchen. the flooring is pergo laminate, installed 13 yrs ago, and the boards are glued together. does anyone know the best way to remove a section, and replace it, or is it beyond repair? I only...

I've got a laptop, just over a year old, so warranty's just run out. The cd drive has suddenly developed a problem. It won't play a cd, or recognise one. I also no longer get the pop-up screen giving the alternatives, e.g burn audio cd etc. The strange thing is, the drive will play dvd's. Any...

Ok, i've just got the full scoop from my father. The tape recorder used to sit in an old grundig gramaphone thing, i actually remember it, was the size of a small car. The recorder pluged into an internal socket within the gramaphone case. The maker of the tape recorder was italian, so i might...

I've just come across an old reel to reel tape recorder, and it has the old style 2 pin plug. Is it possible to buy an adaptor, to fit into the normal 3 pin plug socket? I've googled it, but all i can find is the euro adaptors. I'm guessing that wouldn't work. Any advice appreciated.

Great Thanks fellas

Quick question for the plumbers. I need to run a mains fed water supply for an electric shower. Any probs with branching into the mains feed going to the cold water storage cistern in the loft? The bathrooms on the floor below, but i'm thinking if i can branch in , then i can take the shower...
