maybe a pull-out towel rail with space for trays ... good idea Don't know where we can get a matching door ... suppose any door would be OK, then i could perhaps take one other door and get some paint made up to colour match it

Good idea, but we are non drinkers

We are changing the kitchen around and will end up with a gap of about 300mm under the worktop but no door is available .. or I would have simply bought a narrow base unit I could buy one, but there wouldn't be a matching door What could I put here ? Any ideas thank you

I have rented out my old house for a few years, with the existing tenancy coming to an end soon The architraves and skirting boards were previously stained and varnished but maybe this is now a bit out of fashion All the walls were painted Magnolia. I think it would now be best to paint the...

OP here ... thank you for all the interesting comments

My current drill, a Black & Decker was actually my father's so it was in the family for about 30 years (I would guess) I say was .. yesterday it ended up in the bin The hammer action button at the top has had to be taped to stay 'on' for a few years and yesterday it finally stopped working...

KenGMac .. many thanks for your replies. The movement is quite slight and I was going to check which way it is. Mainly the handle is loose at the base. I am sure if the base was secured the movement at the back (where the arm joins the rear of the chair) would be minimal) I check inside and lo...

and where the arm joins the seat ...

I have an old wooden chair that has been in the shed for a bit too long. Was thinking about painting it, or even just sanding and staining, but one arm is slightly loose. There are no obvious signs of any fixings (screws) so I guess there are dowels where the arm joins the back and the side of...

Can I use 'normal' emulsion paint on a bathroom or kitchen wall prior to painting with a special "bathroom/kitchen' paint. The walls are currently dark so I was wanting to use the white as a initial layer. Thanks

I want to use chalk paint to paint some old dining chairs, but I've read that bleed though may be a problem. I used Zinnser Cover Stain a couple of years ago and found it quite tricky to paint with, being quite a thick paint. It did seem to do the job though. I think I gave the tin to somebody...

I bought a few tubes of silicone sealant to seal polycarbonate sheets on my greenhouse. I had a half tube left. The batch was dated August 2019 Now I have a new shed I need some silicone to seal the window ... will this still be OK The end of the nozzle was plugged, with dry silicone, but when...

Good idea I actually thought about cutting two of them in half .. at least then I would have 6 runners :)

I have just been given a vintage long length sideboard, which has three sliding doors. Each door (except middle one) has two wee white plastic 'sliders' which fit in the groove at the bottom of the doors, then the other edge, slides along the plastic double-slotted track runners fitted to the...

It's not at the house, but at a nearby block. A long time ago, all doors and fascia boards were dark blue (1960's) but now a real mixture, doors all colours and fascia a mixture of the original blue, white, black and even one green wood stain. My preferred choice was burgundy, but as it probably...
