I am going to revive this old thread instead. I am currently about 3 coats of high opacity Trade Leyland White on these concrete blocks. Still going. Can i mix a few tubes of caulk or something. They really are taking a long time. I have 3 6mx2m walls so far used 3 tubs of 10litres. How do i...

Lol thankyou fmt my thought also. Anyway I've worked out what to do now. I'm going to mortise the hinges in myself and pull the frame back to the wall take up the 12mm chunks he cut out the bottom of the frame on the sill. Will take some pics of finished and repost. Will send to chippy to show...

Sill

I had some guys do some carpentry work. Most has been very good. But this door frame has left me confused. It needed reducing down to fit but internally the hinges aren't mortised in frame. Is this OK? Also some big chunks cut out the sill that's alot of silicone ?

Good morning all. Omg ive Honestly I've not heard such a load of narrow minded stuck in a bedroom forum talk since..I was on here yesterday. Who says? Ok so let's confirm a few things. Anything bad behaviour is right wing right? And none of them protesting can think for themselves...

Over the years I've lost count how many Makita batteries I have 'lost' where i have worked with other trades or had trades working in my home to find batteries missing. I'm thinking of a deterrent even if each battery is dayglow green with my name perm etched on it. Thoughts suggestions welcome

For anyone interested i went and bought a Nilfisk Multi II 22L T Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner. I also bought a few extras for it, including power tool adapter and few other bits. I did note the standard hose isn't quite long enough so will buy a longer for when i intend to sand the ceiling. Im so...

I have a Makita DBO 180 what do I use to extract the dust from it? Do I use Henry and some decent dust filter or I see the Makita Makita Dvc750?what's the most effective setup? Tia

Thankyou Andy !

How do I solve this. Grounds man left this mess as you can see bend makes the ground drain sit too high above path surface I need a shorter 90 bend somehow. Pic attached perspective doesn't show it right the 90 bend does sit below ground but the drain doesn't.

I want to add a drain pan metal grate under my outside tap to wash boots etc. I have a 110 pipe nearby any ideas I can't seem to find such a solution. Say for example it's about 50cm square. Any ideas thanks.

I need to fix a timber flush with this steel but cannot access the back to put a nut on a bolt, how do I fix it on. Apparently the garage motorised mount frame need to fix to this face tia.

When you say bolt, do you mean i drill through the middle or staggered offsets along the i-beam and bolt through it?

How do I wedge a piece of timber in here? Need to fix to beam to make flooring extend. Tia

One more question do I cut the upvc sill to fit the width if opening? Or do I cut it wider and cut the corners to fit the right depth I'm note sure why but see some of our existing window sills have been cut like this.

Perfect thankyou

Iam about to fit a UPVC window in this area with sill, however i see the lead flashing isn't great in the corners see pics, can i get away with sealing all the way into the corners with lead sheet silicone and then silicone up round the frame? And a few beads across under the sill? The front...
