Being a builder why not build over it (leaving it for future) with brick or brick slips Or something...pinenot :)

If your fitting retrospect kitchens it's worth planning all the services before fitting the carcases. IKEA units all sit on legs which provide an ideal service space, for by they are garaunteed for 25 years and this according to their fitting instructions (you can download these) includes any...

Now your boasting, nice but...pinenot :)

The reason trickle vents were invented and fitted to windows is because so many people blocked every vent hole to try cutting costs/comfort, not realising that ventilation is an absolute nessesity for keeping down condensation and eventual rot. Condensation is a result of poor ventelation, high...

If the rubber strip is held in a slot you could figure out how to remove it and replace with bigger blades. See if can get a good close up shot of the holding channel, post it so we can see and advise...pinenot :)

Probably tenoned in, but as foxy says angle cuts with pocketed screws and matching wood caps, I would sugest if your fairly new at it...pinenot :)

Whilst Howden/Magnet are well enough made units they are by no means the best units you can buy. Just recently looked at IKEA units, which are every bit as good, also B&Q, Wiles, Home base etc. Best to look around and don't be put off by the hype in my opinion...pinenot :)

Evostick/Bostic Sticks like sh*t comes with a scew on cap and I've found it keeps the nozzel fairly free flowing between use. You must be using a cheaper brand or something?...pinenot :)

Sounds like the guy hasn't known how to go about the job, regardless he's responsible for putting it right so don't pay until your happy with the job. By the way I would state clearly he won't get any day rates for putting things right. To get paid any tradesman has to do the job right, to the...

A number of questions - can you explain why the size can't be increased, also can the ladder be of aluminium as opposed to timber, they tend to need less room. Ramsay Ladders do a range of narrow loft ladder systems -...

Simple diamond sharpening plates, available at many outlets (I have three from Lidl) came in a set rough, medium and fine. I only use the rough and the fine which I've silicon'ed onto wooden bases. The thing is to make sure they are absolutely dead flat in all directions once set, if not do them...

Any good exterior woodwork paint and a matching under coat, will do your door ok. also check the letterbox (if it has one fitted) they can leak and cause all sorts of problems...pinenot :)

Fit a timber threshold sprayed with gold or some other metallic paint, will llook like it's meant...pinenot :)

Once polyurethane has cured it's fairly inert in conventional terms, but as already mentioned burning polyurethane gives off some pretty nasty fumes. I presume from all said so far, that your working with two part polyurethane i.e. resin and an accelerator, do be warned that the accelerator...
