Thanks for your reply. I searched the internet and found an article that said Mod Podge was the product to use. Luckily, and I have no idea why, I had some in the shed. I've put it on with a sponge brush and it's worked a treat. Like you said though, it's left a sheen on the surface but I've...

I don't mind about paying a price for a decent one. Because I have a 1930s house the wifi isn't great when passing through the thick walls. The range is around 10 metres max from my router to where I would like the wifi signal to be strong. I've got plugs everywhere and they are nicely hidden...

Good evening all, As I've been going through the rooms in my house I have been adding CAT 6 sockets to enable a wired internet access for TVs/games consoles etc. We have just had the house extended and I was away with my job and no one put any RJ45s in the room (which happens to be the...

Thanks. That does look the part but there are 5 people in our household at the minute. Do they do a beefier version?

Hi I'm on the look out for a built in water softener to sit in a cupboard in the utility room right next to my incoming water supply. Has anyone had experiences with using the ones from city plumbing? And how do I know which one is a good one? Thanks

Hi I'm no professional and I hate painting!!! But I always buy new Harris brushes when I do a room. I even find it easier to cut in with their 3" brush. They cost about £4 from B and M.

Good Afternoon All, Ive recently put a stencil on my kitchen wall and although it took over 4 hours to get it perfect, sections of it keep coming away from the wall. Does anyone have any ideas on if there is a product on the market that I can apply over the top that will prevent this from...

I've had a few quotes for the softeners and I think I am going to go ahead. Quick question though, I've been told that I will need to bypass my kitchen tap as the water that is softened is no good to drink. Is that true? And if so what is the best way to do this to maximise the device?

Cool. I've filled in the form for a quote so hopefully they'll get back to me. Why do I need a quote? I'm guessing there isn't just one to choose from?

Hi bob, Thanks for your reply. I had a little chuckle to myself when I saw what predictive text had done this time to make me look an idiot! Do you have a link to any sofeners you have in mind just so I can have a look? Regards

good morning all, Now we have decided to renovate the kitchen I am going to incorporate a shout oftener. I thought they were just small devices that lived under the sink but how wrong I was!!! We have plenty of cupboard space where the water comes into the house through a utility room so was...

Is the 20mm ballast ok?

Do I use this with just cement? 6:1 ratio. Do I need pva or plastasiser like when you build a wall?

Foot, Is that bucket thing on the Internet to have a look at? I was just in the garden planning the frame work to pour into. I'm open for any other ideas.

I do sometimes use google for ideas but I'd rather speak to someone who has experience in doing it for advise. Great website though.

Noseall, That's great, thanks. But....what's ballast? Lol Is that sand and aggregate mixed? What mixing ratio do you recommend? I was thinking 4 to 1 but once again, not really sure.

Good morning Andy, It came up at 1.13m3, doesn't sound a lot. What do you think? Also it doesn't say how big of a bag indeed of each. Sorry for the questions but like I said, I'm completely new to laying concrete!! Regards

good evening all, I know this is a proper basic question but I can't seem to find a decent calculator online. Im quite handy with most job but I have never messed with concrete so looking for some help. I have an 8ft x 10ft shed which I want to make a concrete floor for. I'm happy building the...

Looking at those multi JBs, I'm a little unsure if it'll do the job. Most of the pictures I've seen have both the lighting cct and respective switch going to it. My set up is kind of like a distribution board. There is one feed coming from the CU down stairs and then 6 circuits/ceiling roses...

Yes the JB will be accessible. Ideally I would like to put it on the slope of the roof but I would have to extend all the circuits if I did that. I guess it would be a big job just extra work that probably isn't required.
