Thanking you. I cannot help but thinking this blind is quite a heavy weight to support in this window recess with its thin panels - the hardest bit will be getting the 4 brackets (2 end ones + 2 middle ones) to be exactly horizontal, so weight is distributed equally amongst them all - but the...

Would these wood screws also work with this wood impression material? :- Screwfix : Quicksilver Twin Thread Countersunk Prodrive Recess Woodscrews 8 x 1" Product Code: 16199 Or are these only suitable for REAL wood? I couldn't find Flange Self-Tapper of size 8 x 1", only 6 x 1" or 8 x...

Hi I have just purchased a Faux Wood Blind from Blinds2Go and am about to install it myself - but I have a slight concern re attaching the brackets to the window recess. My window recess is a wood impression of some kind (please see photos) and I wonder if I should just screw into it with the...

Blind Brackets

As it stands could any leakage of rain get into this area ? I am hoping this is not likely to be a problem and the sealing applied is sufficient. All in all the company has been very helpful throughout, and I've no reason to distrust them or be awkward with them. In the Window...

Hi I have just had new windows installed in my home, and overall I am happy with the work, which was done by a reputable local company. However the other day I noticed some stonework had been damaged during the installation and I am just wondering whether this is something I should contact them...

Yes thanks I am being careful not to touch anything by hand directly, only with electricians screwdriver, or multilmeter probes.

I have the tools - soldering iron & multimeter - and some basic knowledge, I'm gonna have a look now and see if there's anything obvious, else it'll be time for a new one I think. About an hour ago it started making strange fizzing noises and picture went away completely, except for blurry...

Hi I have 21" CRT television from the Stone Age, a Panasonic TC-21R1, about 19 years old, and recently the picture has started to shift to the left about 2-3 inches, and pin-cushion (ie bowing) on the right hand side. When I hit the TV cabinet with my hand it goes back to normal, and the...

Thank you for all replies. I have got a joiner who is going to replace two of the beads for £40, and I will apply hardener and filler to the rest, which should keep it going for a while yet hopefully.

Thanks for reply. I would get the joiner to replace the beading, as I don't know how to do that, or even where I would get the right size piece of wood, but I could apply the wood hardener and filler myself as that seems straightforward. And I've no problem about painting it myself. Or could...
