Nightmare!!!!!!! Ok so I got the fan off, then the belt and pulley. I had a right job releasing the union nut on the (feed?) pipe on the side of the pump, but got there in the end after copious applications of WD40 and a wallop with a hammer, then it was a matter of doing it all again in...

Ebay is probably a good bet

Depends on how deep your pockets are, but personally, I would consider having something made up by the local blacksmith to match the existing railings on top of that wall

Is it T&G? If so, have you considered floating it? I had an old cottage with an ashpalt floor and I put down T&G Oak as a floating floor on top of green fibre board underlay boards. It worked fine for me.

Yep, theyre fine, thanks.

Thanks all. especially to stuarturbo, yes, thats the one. Are there any special tools needed, and how long a job is it likely to be for a pretty slow amateur mechanic like me :?

The power steering on my disco has started whining badly and from a bit of research it seems likely its the pump. I have got hold of one and have looked online as to how to fit it, but my question is this.... It does not seem clear from the instructions I have read as to whether I need to...

Any caravans in that field................. :lol:

I'd be careful and make sure that your brackets would fit another manufacturers uprights. Wouldn't surprise me if they were sized to only fit their system.

I did say it was just an example! :roll: You never said in your post what diamater you wanted. Also if you had bothered to read, you would have seen that the example I showed could be cut down with a hacksaw. I think I'll leave you to it.....

Just google! I did a quick search and found loads of them.Heres an example http://www.polesdirect.com/product/19mm_herald_satin_steel_effect_curtain_pole_2742 Not sure why you are finding it so difficult?

TBH, and I know you aren't going to like me for saying this, but the chances of you staining the wood so it all matches are slim. Its likely therefore to end up with rail, newel and cap all slightly different shades. I would be tempted to repaint. By the way, the rail lookes like mahogony, so...

I agree. It will never look right, whatever you do, the most I think you can hope for is to lighten it a bit. I would be getting the plumber to pay for a replacement.

Could you try to fish it out? I'm thinking attaching a large hook to the end of a broom handle, poke it down and twist a bit and then pull the material out?

Personally, if it was my extension then I would have wanted the outer brickwork toothed in. I would also be concerned that the downpipe does not appear to go into a drain, but just spills out onto the broken concrete, which in itself appears to be a bit of a mess.

Plinth blocks defo the neatest option and the best way to go IMO

Here you go..... http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+lay+a+deck+on+concrete You're welcome! :D

Ebay is probably the best place.

I have never been on a roof in my life, but I am confident I could do a far better job than that.........appalling! I would agree that the whole thing needs redoing.

Quick homemade jig and a router would be the easiest and neatest option. Finish off the corners with one of these for a perfect corner every time... http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Hand+Tools/Carpenters+Tools/Corner+Chisel/d10/sd150/p53349
