Just wondered if they're any good. It's for separating the electrical connectors. (Not sure what their proper name is). It's a task I'm always nervous about.

Bought an old guitar in a charity shop for my little boy. Only thing is it's pink. We thought it would be a nice project for him to prime it and paint a picture on it. It's very shiny I assume a lacquer is on top of the pink paint. Question is what to do next? does it have to be rubbed back...

By my calculations in order to get a 1 in 40 drop I'm going to need to dig down 900mm by the stack. I'm not too keen as that means the drains trench runs along the house foundations at about the same depth. The only thing I can think of and I've never heard of it but.... Is there a chamber that...

Hello. The trap has failed and ruined the cabinet and doors. I'll attach a picture. It leaks from the top where I've undone it. It seems there's nothing stopping everything slipping down. Is there a fix that doesn't include replacing everything? Cheers

Hello, the instructions for a ground auger I've bought recommend using "viper 2 cycle oil PN300400". Seems that's sold in America so does anyone know what's compatible that I can get? Cheers

I'm struggling to get Someone to quote for a job. So I'm thinking of covering up the walls and waiting until spring. So thought I'd ask if that's a mistake? Cheers.

Got someone from UK power coming to look at moving the box. He said a rough price estimate was £6,000! That would include digging and traffic management which I know we don't need but that's a massive amount. The last quote I had for just a disconnect a reconnect was about £1,000. Have prices...

Just wondered if anyone's got any experience with these. I've got to fit one to get the water back on. I've had it a while so want to check it's all there and that I've got it in the right order. I'll attach a picture. Thanks if you can help.

I keep reading that you should add lime for a 5 or 6:1:1 mix. I've never done it but wonder if I'm missing a trick?

Hello, id like to place the boiler and meter as close as possible (on each side of a cavity wall). So I wondered if anyone knows if there's a minimum measurement they have to be apart? Cheers

It's been a long time since I bought from TP but I'd like a quote as this is for a big job. These days your account and prices are online. But the prices are terrible. So does anyone know if the online account price takes into account your trade discount?

Just wondering if it's ok to do this in sections on different days to make it easier. Perhaps with some rebar or an expansion gap. Thanks if you can help.

As car dealers are rare and over priced where I'm living im thinking about buying from a distance. Anyone got any thoughts about having one delivered unseen? It would save time and bother. Auto trader say never buy without seeing the car except from dealers in their site who offer this service...

I'm at a complete loss on this. Finding a car to buy in my area is hard enough but checking the asking price is impossible. I just saw a Mazda cx-5 for £6750 on auto trader. Auto trader say that's £650 under market value. So I went on parkers who value it at £4750. That's with the milage etc...

Hello. The car started making a noise so I called out the breakdown people. He says its the dual mass. So its about £1,100 for a flywheel and clutch fitted. With a 2 week wait. Ive been told by the garage its possible that the gearbox and engine could be damaged. As the car is only worth £1500...

Hello. We are moving the upstairs bathroom to the other side of the house. (Got building regs etc). Is it ok to use the underground rainwater pipework already there to carry the toilet water into the drain. It's a shared drain already and I'll put in a new stack. Should I do a dig to check...

So having decided to shutter foundations due to water seeping in I'm trying to find out the basics. but I'm struggling to work it all out.Removing the form work after the pour is apparently the way to go. but that seems really hard. Do you dig the trench wider and remove it after it's set. I'm...

So I had a look at a small trench I dug yesterday and there's was a few inches of water and the sides were falling. Picture attached (I think can't tell on my phone). It might be worse as it's only 2m length but I'm thinking I need to shutter as I go. Unexpected as it's sandy not shrinkable...

So I've started digging out. I only do this every few years and a couple of things have occurred to me. There is a Concrete slab there already. Can you measure from the top of that to get a metre depth? In some places its got hardcore under and in others there's a slab and paving stones on top...

Hello. I'm having trouble finding the amount of ready mix needed. The company I got a quote from reckon it's 14 metres M3. But when I went on thier own calculator it says 11. It's not a straight forward shape but I'm pretty sure the length and width comes to 14m2. The depth I expect to be .800...
