Hi all I have a Hardwood gate I would like to hang in the pictured opening. It has been sat in my garage for 2 years and since then vals have appeared in it but it’s still rock solid (plus extremely heavy!). It already had x2 cut outs for 100mm hinges (Toolstation Heavy ones)and I have...

Hi All I have a leak in my ceiling and traced it back to the upstairs shower. This is now repaired. I now need to repair the ceiling as it’s damaged with hole where it was poked. I have watched videos but it always comes up with USA based ones but I presume the process is the same? I...

What thickness insulated plasterboard is required on something like this? Plus is it beneficial to put some sort of barrier onto the bare brick after plaster/cement has been hacked off? Thanks.

Yes. And other places

Pretty much just a blob under where the shower is. It is a raised shower and I can actually see the water passing between the base cladding on each side ad I keep repeating. The waste is fine. It just what I keep repeating. I’ve found a video by ultimate Handyman on YouTube and he fits a piece...

It’s between the shower base and cladding. 2 sides in a corner shower. There’s a slight gap where the panels meet the base which when I remove the silicone and re silicone it’s fine for a few months. Then the seal breaks and I have to keep redoing it??? Literally 2 lengths of silicone 70c long...

Hi all Im having to redo my upstairs corner shower as the leak is showing on my downstairs ceiling every few months after removing old silicone and resealing. The walls are plastic cladding and it cones down the the shower base and there is a gap in some sheets and it requires a lot of...

Fitted today. Easy enough job just a bit fiddly when up a ladder that high! It took about 30 mins to fit them all. I did speak to a roofer yesterday who stated they are £30 a length and he can fit them for £100. Lol Thanks for the advice.

I’ve purchased them now. Only £2.11 each.

Thanks. I was just concerned as I’ve watched videos/seen pics and the trays are fully pushed in against the fascia. Even fitted before the fascia. I will need for them to protrude a 10-20mm in order to direct the water into the guttering.

Hi All I had fascias/guttering fitted several years ago and instead of removing the existing wood fascia they just went over it with new UPVC. This caused the the guttering to protrude to much and the rain/water flowed half down fascia and half in gutter. I as a quick fix just screwed the...

The place i took it to after failing had the actual Honda Nozzle cleaners, they also tried it several times in various configurations in their ultrasonic bath. They could not get it to run and they fitted a reconditioned carb, anyway it's all up and running. Cheers all

It's an M10/1.25, so standard really. I just detest the strimmer tbh, i'm heading towards a 4 stroke Honda. Cheers

They have just emailed again and stated their new spool takes up to 2.4mm, plus it's a new where you don't have to take it apart to put line on, you just line up the spool/knob arrows and feed line in and wind on. I still hate the machine though, it's also always been a pain to start, needs...

First thing i did was purchase a decent harness, the one that came with it basically fell apart just putting it on (black clips snapped). I have spoke to SGS and they stated it will not take more than 2.1mm line. Also refilling the spool is an absolute pain, the video they have online does not...

I have an excellent Honda 4 stroke mower (roller on rear for strips), i do love Honda engines, even their generators are top notch i am definitely going to get a 4 stroke, stuff doing a mix all the time. It never occurred to me too look into them tbh, is this your one? What size line does it...

I'm aware of straight shafts, also my old gardener added an extra grease nipple to his DIY style at the bottom of the shaft, he's 'STIHL' not replying to me. :rolleyes: How do i spot a '4-mix engine', do you mean 4-stroke with a separate oil chamber? Cheers

Hi All Looking at getting a second hand Stihl strimmer. I am after some advice and whether this would be suitable for my needs. I have a large garden mainly overgrown with brambles (1" thick in area's). I purchased a 50cc SGS one on Ebay thinking it would do the job (had the metal blade...

It's 4 pairs maybe more (8 large i think), plus the associated lower smaller holes below. One of them was blocked, it was nothing imo, but it's clear mate, it's an even 'fountain' was sprayed into it, even distrubation. I can take a pic if you wish? I honestly presumed the main jet, under...

I have one valve i can control/view from intake, maual choke/idle off. That's the first one from viewing from air filter. I can't see how the inner one operates tbh, it has a solid rod plus spring loaded.... I have 'played' with both whilst a mate has the manual one forcefully depressed/choke...
