I'm looking to alter my chicken coop so that it has a wooden strip (approx 10 cm, wide any thickness) around the perimeter of the base. This will allow me to fill the coop with sand and the sand won't escape through the sides. I'm thinking of buying plywood for this. Does anyone sell plywood...

I'd like to install an outside tap and have bought a thru wall flange/ copper pipe. I want the pipe (15 mm diameter) to enter the interior of the house in a small gap (around 3 cm) between my washing machine and a fixed bench. How would I go about drilling this hole? I've read that you should...

I've decided to send back the kit and build the tap from various parts including those recommended. I have a couple of questions regarding fittings. I already have an isolation valve the other side of an 1/2 inch male thread which then leads to the mains copper pipe. I plan attach my outside...

Cheers. Alternatively, I could replace with a 450 mm long through wall flange. Would it be feasible to use this and purchase additional (1 metre) of copper pipe and compression coupler in order to extend it to the place I want it? Anything wrong with this?

The kit I've bought was purchased from a company called fixthebog! They do have cheaper kits, but I purchased one which they refer to as "professional". The reviews I have found in various places are very good. How much would the various parts cost from a professional supply/shop?

I paid £16.99. How best to extend the pipe? Can I simply attach approx 1 m length of copper piping using compression fittings? Is the advice for this kind of thing simply not DIY and I should get a qualified plumber? How much would I be looking at?

The existing through-wall flange is 350 mm.

Hi, I'm trying to fit an outside tap and have purchased a kit from Amazon. Being a complete amateur, I failed to measure up correctly! The thru wall flange is slightly (1cm) too short, so I guess I would need to purchase a longer one. Also, my water pipe (under the sink) is approximately...

Cheers guys. Went for a couple of jointing plates. Seems to have done the trick! Even supports my weight!

Hello. My 5 year old daughter has broken my two year olds cot bed by jumping in it. One of the side rails has split and cannot support much weight. How best to fix this? Should I simply get a similar size wooden beam and drill holes so that I can secure the beam to the rail, thus reinforcing...

[/url] I could use one flush mount to attach a bracket at the centre of the top horizontal timber of the frame. Would that work?!

I used a live wire detector, which confirmed the wires are running from above down. I thought about using a self tapping plug, but was unsure whether this would be safe or not, as I would have to screw into them after they're fixed.

Cheers, Alternatively, could I just use one bracket at the centre of the horizontal timber, then attach that to a screw in the centre of the wall?

I have a problem if I use brackets on the vertical timber of the mirror. If I position the mirror in the exact place I want, it will involve drilling and fixing a screw into the plaster board with electric wires behind I.e. one of the vertical timbers is directly above a double electric socket...

Hello, I'm about to put up a large mirror with a wooden frame onto my hallway wall (plasterboard). The mirror had come with two small brackets (D-rings?) and 4 screws, but no string. I assume I screw the brackets onto the wood and hang it by attaching the brackets to other screws fitted...

I've got some more information on the quote. The landscaper will use whatever amount of top soil needed to make it flat... Could exceed 10 tonnes. The supporting wall will be built using tanalised wood and fixed onto additional posts which will be concreted into the ground. Does £1100 seem ok...

They can access the driveway which is next to a small gate in the garden. So guess they would have to wheel barrow the topsoil through. The developers will be paying for the turfing as this had already been agreed.

Hello, My garden in a new build home currently slopes by approximately 60 cm in the latter 3 metres of a total of 7 metres in length (the first 4 metres is relatively flat. The garden width is 10 metres. Therefore I've had a quote from a landscaper to basically level it off with additional...

I've just invested in a 18V drill. :|

It says it can drill into wood, plastic and metal and it will use drill bits with a 1/4 inch hexagonal shank. The maximum torque is 3.2 Nm.
