As you can see, over time the concrete slab at the bottom has sort of dropped on the left hand side and you can see a gap at the bottom. I have tried to get the fence to be fully horizontally level in order to show what it should look like when it is straight. And then the concrete post on the...

So the cooker hood that I have has a 147mm hole where the extraction part is The reducer that came with the cooker hood reduces it to pretty much exactly 120mm My friend who has lent me their Erbauer core drill kit which has a 117mm at the largest size -...

So i've spent a while trying to figure out the best location of where to start my tiles so that i don't end up with tons of cuts here n there because I know that if I just start from 1 side with a full tile and then just work my way across I will only need to cut 1 side of tiles, but because I...

This is the side of my house. Having abit of work done with resin at the moment. After it's been poured and it has set id need to make a side-gate. The only support that I have on the right side would basically be the concrete fence posts me and my neighbour share. Which isn't a problem but...

Long story but we have had to change our sink (in a previous post) because our quartz worktop guy suggested that the one we had was too big so we have now opted to looking at an Inset stainless steel sink but we are trying to just work out our sizing because it seems we can't seem to fit a...

Just thought I would get some further advice before I carry on but I am at the stage of getting the worktop fitted (professionally), but I am just getting all my base units fixed in ready for templating. The worktop itself is 30mm thick granite, but this area of my sink is 40mm : and this is...

Basically replacing the entire kitchen units and worktop. Have already ripped out the worktop but had to cut around this previously just to get it out. So now we are left in the dilemma as to how we are going to get this remaining piece out? Obviously we want to do it without damage to any of...

Long story short, sparky 'forgot' to put in the wiring for the extractor hood/fan which sits above the hob and will be next to the cupboard shown, the walls already been boarded and plastered now aswell (happened to be away during this time otherwise i'd have noticed it straight away)...

My main pan-draw has 2 slide-out draws at the top, I am looking to get this Samsung induction hob - NZ84C6058FK Link to the hob It is a slim fit induction hob which i assume will then allow me to keep my 2 draws at the top because I believe in some normal worktop (mainly gas) hobs the top draw...

We are thinking about having around 55m2 of porcelain paving laid outside. the area that it will be laid upon is around 50% flagged and 50% turfed currently. I have managed to source the porcelain tiles myself for around £1,750 to cover 60m2 (just incase of any breakages). I just wanted to...

Guessing this isn't possible as it seems like way too much to take off either the top or bottom of the door? Missus wants to match all the doors in the house (LPD Carini), and we have a door which is like a 1½ sized door (widthwise) due to the house previously being altered for a wheelchair...

The current door that I have is an LPD Carini 762mm x 2040mm My existing doorframe is 762mm at the top and 755mm at the bottom so its about 7mm out. I also need to leave a 2-3mm gap inbetween which means I will have to roughly shave off about 10mm total. I was thinking that the best way to do...

Have a couple of hairline cracks in my SLC which has been laid for about a good 2 weeks now, i think it may have been due to foot traffic since the LVT has been delayed in being layed (scheduling issues with my flooring guy) room spans around 6m x 5m and its not tons of cracks just a few going...

Have ordered 8 LPD Carini doors which I plan to fit myself. Obviously i have bought the standard sizes and will cut them down to size, will take this to my local merchant who said he can cut down to size for me when they arrive. I'm just planning to keep the existing hinge locations so will...

Long story short, Plasterer didn't skim the ceiling in my cupboard (sliding doors) Have asked him to return to do it but he said he's finished and to just keep the remainder of what is owed on the amount as he's got another job to get on with. I actually probably wouldn't want to go with...

Decided to remove a part of a stairs which then also left a big chunk of missing plaster which is 4mm deep and around 10cm x 10cm. I've heard that skim should be around 3mm max, but is there a type of product that I could do 4mm? Or is it possible to use a 2mm and go over twice? Sorry never...

I put an original post before where I was asking if my newly bought oven would suffice on a 15amp normal plug. There were some 'possibly's' but mainly it was no due to safety. So i just spent the night with my cousin Routing through a 10mm² 44amp T+E cable from the garage to the kitchen...

Thinking of replacing the handles on my windows but because theres existing holes in the window I'd rather keep the new handles in the same position. Except I have never seen these types of screws before? Seems like there's just a hole in the middle, tried an Allen key and nothing seems to bite...

Mapei 3240 product spec says it can be used on timber. The only concern I have is that will it be too runny that it would just keep leaking down into a tiny crevice before it sets. Shall I make a thicker mix? It's basically the upstairs floorboard leading onto a step tread. It looks like...

So abit hard to explain, hence why I included pictures lol I have a floorboard which a random piece of it has snapped off and I'm sure it's because there was no actual support underneath it in the first place. It's an awkward shape and location where it is because it is essentially a full board...
