    Insulate garage door and fill gaps at side

    But you installed that bit, so you need to find a workaround for it.. Neither, to me. Looks more like it should be horizontal and hooked over the tube so it can't fall out under gravity

    Fixing plasterboard to steel beam?

    I mean, if you approach the moderation team with a request to put the product in some as banners etc in exchange for a fee I think they'll say yes.. But generally the forums I'm on expect a disclosure of affiliation if there is any and there is a specific line in the Terms and Rules about...

    It was 2 years ago. Hopefully fixing sorted by now :) And you registered just to post it? Work for NMN or just a fan?

    Do you include the vertical run when deciding waste pipe diameter size?

    Aye, me too.. Still searching for the perfect filter but I've found that wire wool pan scrubbers stuffed in the plug hole do a good job of catching long hair People seem to rate Wirquin but I'm not so impressed; for low profile basin I like the Purus ones or HepVO if there is a bit more space...

    Insulate garage door and fill gaps at side

    You undo the grub screw with the Allen key and then use two bars to walk the block repeatedly, over and over and over again, until you've put tens of turns on the spring. Then you do the grub screw up locking the block to the shaft. Do not undo the grub screw without having one locking bar in...

    HELP NEEDED! Are there any roofers out there that arent cowboys???

    The building trade is perhaps more chock full of pillocks and chancers than any other, but it's unsurprising given the low bar to entry

    Day rate for a Carpenter in Dorset

    Aye fair; people tend to get absolutely nailed on price on new builds / can only compete price wise by coming in super low but then can only make a reasonable profit on it by getting through a volume which means hogh speed, low attention Price work for one off jobs and bespoke residential is a...

    Day rate for a Carpenter in Dorset

    Mmm. I think it depends on the tradesman tbh.. I had a plumber who worked the same speed whether he was on day or price, but was fairly terrible at pricing his work to align with something reasonable to a day rate. He priced tiling a 60sqm rectangular area of self levelled screed at £20/sqm...

    Block retaining wall - mortar washed out in rain

    It'll be fine. Looks like there is a facing leaf yet to be put up, judging by the ties? Do a better job of covering that one if the weather forecast is gangster. Unless it's going to be rendered..

    Repair edge of concrete floor before laying laminate?

    What's going on top of it? If nothing, then yes, I'd look to fill it in with something supportive; normal cement mortar for example. If it's under eg kitchen cabinets, don't bother

    HELP NEEDED! Are there any roofers out there that arent cowboys???

    The tiles are the waterproof layer, not the felt There are definitely competent roofers; I can show you some that post in here. Sorry you've found the pillocks so far.. I wouldn't put much stay by 5* checkatrade whatever ratings; they're all BS posted by the cowboy's mates. Word of mouth...

    Refitting a fallen kitchen cupboard to a plasterboard stud wall

    Yep. If you're bothered that it will only be 12mm cut another strip and glue/screw it on the back so it's now 24mm thick (don't put extra where the stud is, so it doesn't stick out any further;doesn't need to be thicker where the stud is, as the studs is notionally adding 3+ inches to the ply...

    Tile cutter has no device to actually crack the tile into two bits

    Buy a saw bladed wet cutter.. Much nicer finish and far more versatile-tile :)
