    Laminate floor and door thresholds

    Sorry just realised that was the old plan - door between kitchen & dining room has been opened up again since then -just edited (using album draw on tool -which worked surprisingly well) (except just realised though it seems to have squashed the image - never mind you get the idea.... :D )

    Laminate floor recommendations

    I've had B&Q laminate (quick loc) in living room for 10+ - maybe even 12 years ... not a problem (except where there was a radiator leak -behind a chair thankfully -gone a bit gappy) It has not been kindly treated (v. messy children, recently have been steam cleaning it :shock: and I don't...

    Extra deep socket or something else?

    Peter 1919 - they are well thought of in the cycling community - thought to be safer than the ones with straps (haven't heard any stories of people losing them -but have about ones with straps but then these are still less common...) ...also it is easier to load/unload (especially for dropped...

    Extra deep socket or something else?

    You use the screw to tighten this clamp to the tow bar ball - you need to tighten by hand whilst holding the rack horizontal and then finish it off with a spanner to the recommended torque (looked up - is 90Nm). This is the only thing holding it to the car (no wheels!) - it sticks out 3ft ish...

    Extra deep socket or something else?

    If I can't get it up to torque I will have to fit a bar on to get a bit more leverage...but torque wrench is 1.5 ft long - so hopefully won't be a problem!

    Extra deep socket or something else?

    I will have to go and look at them (no depth online I can see!) ... I was looking at DIY stores - but possible car places would be better... Also just found a torque handle with different spanner heads on e-bay - but not the size I need ... :( (and it looks flimsy) and one other place a...

    Extra deep socket or something else?

    I have a cycle rack that clamps onto the tow bar -it says it should be at a certain torque (90 - I think...need to double check). It comes with a cheap flat spanner -but I'm worried I'm not tightening it enough. My dad has just given me a torque wrench... The 'nut' for the cycle rack has a...
