J. If they are a member of a trade body such as the GGF, or you have a copy of the warrenty so you can see who it is insured with, try that route. If not, it might be worth physically going to see them (Be nice at this stage), and get them to actually explain what they think the problem is...

Or "Two fools never differ..." :lol: Woody

a tad more info might be handy. Is it going to bear weight? will it get wet? what is the purpose of the upright. Sorry - I'm not being awkward - the answer may well depend on what the use is. :) Woody

for mdf pva is ideal. woody

you may well be better off posting this in the decoratots forum. Painting is not my field so I may be a slightly wrong here but, If the varnish is an old oil/solvent based varnish, just painting over the top will cause it to blister rather like sunburn. As far as I'm aware you will need to...

well. I'd say you were screwed :lol: woody

Just a word of warning. I'm a chippie with 25 years of experience. Now you'd think I would know how to handle my elctric tools wouldn't you? Well, yesterday, I decided to run my hand over the planer blade to clear a blockage. IT WAS STILL TURNED ON AND RUNNING! :oops: Having taken the...

Glad you're sorted. woody

look forawrd to it :lol: woody

les, good choice, tend to forget about blockboard, years since I used it. Yep would make very good workbench. woody

offcut of plywood. treat underside with primer if it isnt marine ply. Tile over. Job done! Woody

phew, bit late now, but give it all a really good sanding over (if poss with a belt sander first). Getboth boards really smooth and level with each other. You can then dust off, and rub over with white spoirit, which will help remove any natural grease and muck. If you're really lucky you...

I personally dont like MDF worktops in workshops especially if damp, though I conceed the benefits. But thats just my preference. I use thick plywood or solid wood strips (4x2) etc. I think, as has been pointed out, the most important thing is the framework. Good solid sturdy framework...

When you look at a door, your eyes will automatically look at the top. So any piece joined on will show like sore thumb. Thats why us chippies dont generally plane off the top of doors to make them fit, we do it from the bottom. (Yes there are exceptions and small adjustments). The aluminium...

It might be worth clarifying the original deeds/document relating to ownership/repairs of the drain. But in any instance I would recomend they sign a legally drawn up document laying down their rights and thier responsibilites in the event of a future problem. Providing the work is done by...

Ok then, but bere in mind that I'm going by instinct here, not being able to see the job, and I'm only telling you the easiest . not necessarliy the best method at the moment. Since the door is already too short, that is actually a goodish sort of thing, because it will fit in the doorway in...

Yep, totally understand, the way over that is to turn the wood over and around, but you have to be very careful to line it all back up when you cut it. Good luck, let us know how you get on. woody

well many just crack on with it, but a friendly informal chat with your local BCO never harms and he may well advise you of anything you particularly need to be aware of. I must admit I really cant remember if you NEED permision for it - I dont think so, but again the chat will revael all...

Finial !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done that man. been bugging me for days, but been too lazy to look it up! :lol: Woody

Emaando. Yep, you can use marine ply, or if treated thouroughly WBP ply. Why not try approaching either a locl timber merchant/builders merchants, or a local building firm. Explain to them your situation and play up the kiddies benefit part. (especially try a company near to the school if...
