Glad I can be of service :lol: What I was trying to say that wood flooring is everywhere you look nowadays and personally I tend to get a bit bored with it. It is also incredibly noisy which grates after a while.

Nick, I hear what you're saying about looking like a piece of furniture but like you i'm not brilliant with wood so the simpler the better.

Need some advice as the best way to box in the new boiler we've just had fitted. It's in the study so it really is an eyesore. The boiler in question has been fitted approx 2ft from the ceiling and so the pipework runs down the length of the wall. I was thinking maybe make a frame around the...

I'd have carpet. It's much more homely and to be honest wood flooring has had it's day.

Specific bathroom & kitchen paint is just another avenue of revenue for the paint companies. Eggshell is perfect.

You can get uPVC cleaner I think it's a company called Johnsons. However, try MER the car polish. That stuff shifts most grime.

Try Dow Corning.

What's the best way of removing white water stains from matt Black grout?

Thankyou for your time Breezer. Right, i'm off to watch Jaws on ITV

Breezer, Our drive actually slopes upward at the bottom (or entrance which ever way you want to look at it). My wife and I really like the clean look it gives the property in which it sits (Cotswold stone I mean)

Breezer, It will indeed have a brickwork border to keep it all in.

Thinking of having this aggregate laid down on our drive. Does anyone know of any long term problems we may come across.

Eggshell definitely has a sheen

Ian, Have they been primed? If not you will have to prime them first and you will probably have to treat the knots with knotting. When they have been primed you will need at least 2 coats of undercoat and the same for the top coat. Remember to rub down between coats.

Not really, just use oil based. You will of course have to rub down and i'd use an undercoat with a couple of top coats.

I'm afraid you're going to have to bite the bullet and have the walls skimmed. It's no use trying to patch things up, false economy

A long pile roller will put more paint onto the surface and sometimes this can create a slightly textured finish.

If you really want one then i'd look no further than a Sthil. I have a petrol Sthil hedgecutter and the engineering is breathtaking.

Depends how smooth the finish is. As a rule you should use a roller with a short pile for smooth walls and a long pile for rough.

Never use tape on newly painted walls. Just give it a light rub with some 3M pads and re paint.
