I'm looking to brighten up the garden next month and was thinking of a small pond in the middle of the lawn. The lawn where i want it is maybe 20ft x 12ft and i was thinking of maybe a rockery around the edge? I've seen the plastic ponds and also liners but aren't sure which to go for? We...

Is there anyone here who can supply (or recommend someone) and possibly fit a pair of wooden driveway gates similar to these - http://www.prodeckuk.co.uk/?gclid=CNTwtqzGyagCFQEZ4QodeFdTpQ#/the-moors/4543214774 The width between the posts is 281cm (9.21ft) and the height is upuo 147cm (4.82ft)...

I'm looking for someone to supply and fit a wooden gate across the top of my drive. The gate will be 5ft high, approx 8-9ft wide, closed panel and it'll need a post at 1 side to hold it. The other side of the drive is a concrete fence post which i'm thinking would be ok to use with a metal...

Well they started at £1400 but came down to around £700 - door/ side panel with glazed top section

Blimmin' ell mate Trading Standards? They only fitted the door a couple of weeks ago. It's just a piece of flat trim that hasn't been sealed properly it's nothing major. I know its a ball ache when you pay good money to have work done but you gotta give them a bit more time to sort this for...

er, this crack they should have used plastic head nails or screws with caps on to hold it in place, not just sealant

[/url] posted same time as you did :) Ok i'll get the sander out, thanks for the link

Great - do you think it'll be ok to put it straight on top of what's already on without sanding it down?

Well a couple of weeks ago safe-style cam and fitted a new front door and side panel. Within an hour of them leaving the to panel above the door started to come away as they hadn't used nails or screws to attach it just sealant :shock: The next dat we phoned them and someone came out and said...

This is the panel

i'm just guessing it's varnished. I'll try a darker stain on top and see if that works, will a stain be ok for protection or should i use something else on top of that?

We've just had a upvc front door fitted and to the side there is wooden panneling which looks to have been varnished. We want to darken this from the antique pine look to a dark brown but are unsure which is the best way. Do we have to sand the panel down to remove the varnish and then use a...

That's what's worrying me, i might end up drilling into the steel or crack the concrete :(

I'm wanting to have a wooden gate on the end of the drive. At 1 side of the drive we have a closeboard panel fence with concrete posts and nothing at the other side. The top of the drive is tight so i have to be careful reversing as to miss the concrete post. I know there's room at the other...

We had a full house rewire 1.5 years ago and the job was a mess. We were told when finished we wouldn't know they'd been as all holes, etc would be filled. The holes were filled (after we complained) by a trainee with tubes of flexable filler????? (we were told a plasterer would finish off -...

We had a sectional concrete garage built last year with a pitched roof. In this very cold weather the inside walls are so cold it transfers to the car so the panels are wet with condensation. The roof has been covered with polystyrene panels and where i've taped the seams condensation drips...

Yes the lights have the motion sensors Using the manual switches the light still don't work so i'm guessing it's the bulbs or light units? i forgot to add - for the week or so before the 2nd light stopped working it would flicker a bit when it came on?

I tried the bulbs in several positions and nothing The trip switch hasn't been tripped in the fuse box but i haven't checked to see if there's a fuse in the manual switch Would the light work with a higher wattage bulb (just to try again?)

We have 2 300w security light outside the house, 1 stopped working several months ago and trying new bulbs didn't sort it? Last week the other light stopped working so today i tried 2 new bulbs and nothing? I then looked at the bulbs (new ones) and saw they were 500w? should the light still...
