Hi All, I moved into my new house which had this fake wall, with a gap to hang a TV. I got a 55" TV which is the only size which would fit - although there is a gap at the bottom so the cabling is visible and I also think it may be too high for us. My eyes are just above the bottom border of...

Oh sorry you mean the actual window frame, they are vertical venetian blinds. Instruction say it has to be away from then window so that there is room for the actual blinds

I can't really as its made to measure the inner recess

I was surprised to see that too. I did wonder if maybe it was just an old part of the system or something. Although I think it's connected. The boiler is only 2-3 years old too How much would a full system flush and the work you mention cost do you think? Just roughly as we have just moved in...

FURTHER TO THE ABOVE Just reading up about air locks. Yesterday I was having a shower upstairs. My partner had one downstairs. She said it went really cold and then stopped. The motor or something sounded like it was trying to feed more water but there was none. I therefore am thinking this...

SOLVED - I ran the downstairs shower (now that the hot water tank has refilled). This spluttered for about 30 seconds and then went normal power. Turned it off and tap now working. Still not sure about expansion tank - is it a problem that it had so much stinky mould stuff in? Hi Cold water...

I'm trying to fit some venetian blinds, they are made to measure and so I can't use a wooden batten really. I can drill about 1cm up and then it something solid. I've read up and it's either concrete or metal I believe Key Information Drill is wired dewalt I tried two different black drill...

Just checked and door has got a brand on it, JWNA?

I think it is plastic as it seems quite flimsy

Great, thanks! I have found some possible replacements now, just need to see if my type is in there. Good ideas. At the minute I have a tea spoon shoved down there (upside down) which has worked well for the past 10 days. However we have only just moved into the house, so I'd like the repair...

No insulation at all, simply just to make it a nicer space for gym work. It's a standard sized garage 16ft x 8ft. Walls are in fairly good condition already (in two minds about plasterboard). There is a low apex roof and ideally, I'd like the sides of this also plasterboarded too. I've no...

Wow, that is really cool. That answers a second question about how to hang things on plasterboard walls. Great video too, very clear. Thank you!

This isn't a rawl plug, I can't screw anything in there. I thought maybe something sharp but a knife didn't seem to do much. I'm guessing it just needs prised out somehow? I don't want to damage the wall more than I need to as I have to polyfil after and paint Thanks

I'm in a new house and the shower door has come off the hinge at the top. There is no thread in the door so it doesn't look like it's a normal screw, maybe some form of pushed in pin or something? Any thoughts on this? I've searched online but don't even know what terms to use and imagine...

That looks good, amazing price and the reviews look really decent too. Thanks!

We have lined curtains but the light comes around the edges quite a lot due to the street lights outside

Thanks everyone, some really good suggestions. I have the exact same question about rawl plugs too so you've given me lots of ideas now. I saw an empty box thing in Homebase the other day which would be ideal for screws and plugs, so I'll go and pick that up tomorrow

I'm quite sensitive to light and our new bedroom window is quite big: 2812mm wide 1125mm height The blinds I was going to get were PerfectFit ones but they won't fit due to the dimensions. I also looked at wooden shutters too but again, too big a window. I've settled on Venitian blackout...

I'm the worst DIY'er in the world (seriously) One thing that I blame is my lack of equipment including screws. I have an old tub with about 30 screws in, all different shapes and sizes. Doing anything is a mission as I have to just see what's there. Are there any places which sell a good...

That may be the best option so far I think. In my head I was imagining something which would almost brush along the wood and then form a seal almost. One of the planks of the gate is slightly warmed outwards at the bottom, so the DPC should allow me to trim the lower part so that it goes over...
