Well the time has come to actually do this cleaning, and since you weren't listening to me, i decided not to listen to you either. I'm glad i did! I went ahead with experimentation on a test patch. White spirit does nothing to either the paint or the floor, ditto for acetone, and most normal...

Hello everyone! This thread has absolutely nothing to do with plumbing, but it does involve a pipe of sorts, so i was hoping that you guys might have some useful info a plastic part on my vacuum cleaner recently shattered. Its a hard sort of cylindrical nozzle at the end of the hose, the part...

because we already have a livingroom, thats not the point Going Into A Room is a distinct action, its a commitment to something, if you go into a room to talk, its no longer a casual conversation. Casualness happens where it naturally happens, and it is lost if you try to move it to somewhere else

that is a really cool thing, i like it, might get that!

My hallway is S shaped, the front door is at the tip of the S, and both guest bedrooms are up near the front. The corner where we congregate is the first bend, it is right next to both bedroom doors, and people tend to stand in their doorways and chat when getting home from work

Hi all, my home lacks a central communal area, but ive noticed in the past when ive had a few tenants, we all tended to congregate in the hallway, and there's a perfect spot for a wall mounted seat, above the shoe rack. The width of the space available is 104cm, which should be juuust enough to...

I once had a dog in the past, and he used to open doors by biting the edge and pulling them open, he was surprisingly good at this Unfortunately this has left my bedroom door in quite a mess, and i'm wondering how or if i might repair it Replacing the door entirely is a bit out of my budget at...

My problem right now is, i need a flat surface to work on. But outside of my kitchen, i only have carpeted rooms, and a bumpy uneven outdoors to work with. How can i create a flat working surface? I need it for: 1. Putting scales on so i can weigh paints as i pour them into a bowl, for mixing...

Oh my lungs aren't in dangere, i always wear an full set of sensory organ protective gear when i'm sanding anything. Goggles, respirator mask, and ear protectors, put on in that order.

But you are applying your experience to the assumption that this floor is vinyl, as far as i can tell that isnt true, its some sort of soft foam/fabric?

Ohhhh thats what that means, huh. i had no idea and it wasnt explained!

My bad yeah the plugs are 8mm, thats the drill bit i used for them, no idea the size of the screws inside, but i guess that sounds right Why is the rule based on thickness? Surely the expected weight or load of the item should be factored into this? Anyways presumably these are minimums, but...

are you basing that on the pictures?

the paint is a mixture of about five different kinds, spanning the gamut of possible paints. the biggest part of it, by far though, is this stuff https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B086QDQL81?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 I spilled almost half of the entire can. An unfortunate incident...

it is 0.5 years old!

I have linoleum in my kitchen, and in the process of repainting said kitchen, i have made quite a mess. Aside from many drips and splashes, i did also (twice) tip over a can of paint and spill a third of it. There is a LOT of paint on my kitchen floor, all thoroughly dried now. I am almost done...

in this particular instance i was fixing a shelving unit on the ground, so these screws are just to stop it sliding away from the wall, not load bearing. But they have done the job admirably! These shelves are definitely not moving now Someone mentioned above that screws should go 40mm into...

Doesnt heat warp wood over time, or cause expansion of screws and such? I'm not saying i dont believe you, but i'd like to do someting special here anyways. This is a guest bedroom and guests might be concerned about it otherwise
