Over the weekend I built our dogs crate into the base of the utility room cupboard. Originally the cupboard had two standard, 6 panel, 457mm width doors but the problem I now have is I can't refit those as if I was to cut them to the correct height I'd be left with some funny mouldings on the...

Sorry for yet another TV wall mounting post, I've just bought the LG G4 65" OLED which weighs about 23kg according to the specs, it's also sadly quite expensive so I want to make sure I get this wall mounting right! I'm planning on mounting it on a plasterboard stud wall as this specific TV...

I'm just looking for some advice before I go out and find a builder for this so I know what to look out for... We have a townhouse with an integrated garage which forms part of the ground floor, the floorplan attached but is missing an internal door we had fitted a couple years back from the...

I'd quite like to fit a Sonoff NSPanel Pro touch panel next to our front door but I have a query about getting power to it. I won't be undertaking the electrics myself but I just wanted to see if it's feasible before I buy the device and contact the electrician. The device needs live and neutral...

I've always known the pipework under our kitchen sink was a mess since we bought the place a few years back but it's never caused an issue so I've never got around to sorting it.... I now need to add a feed for a new plumbed in fridge so it seems like a good time to tidy it up a bit, just wanted...

I've been meaning to fix a dodgy Juliet balcony since we bought our house a couple of years ago. It's currently held in place with two bolts and the other two have presumably fallen out over the years before we bought. I'm not sure if it's best use standard wall plugs and coach screws or if I...

I've got these two broken rodding eye points in our garden that I ought to get fixed. I was hoping to just buy new covers for both but it doesn't appear that you can just buy the covers and end up with the whole assembly... I broke the middle of this one above taking down a brick wall. I need...

We bought our 1996 townhouse a few years back and occasionally have issues with the french doors on the 1st floor Juliet balcony. I suspect they're the original doors from when it was built and we do need to replace them as they're not the most airtight in winter but I was hoping to put that off...

I'm currently in the process of fitting a couple of external PoE cameras to our townhouse property and have a query around fiting the conduit, more so around how the ethernet cable should exit it whilst keeping the conduit waterproof. The camera in question is the "Reolink Duo 2 Floodlight"...

Currently redoing a bathroom myself (slowly). I've had a plumber and electrician out to do some of the more challenging changes but trying to learn and do as much of it myself where safe/sensible to do so. The toilet is moving from one side of the bathroom to the other and was expecting to...

Doing a bathroom refit at the moment and bought a new chrome shaver socket to replace the old plastic one. I pulled the old one off (after isolating the mains) and found it's a metal back box - which isn't surprising as most in our 1996 house are. Would I be right in thinking the bottom screw...

I've had a Ring video doorbell for a few years now and I'm finally looking to get away from their subscription based cloud model. I'm looking at going for a more reliable POE option whilst I'm at it too - specifically the Reolink POE doorbell. I'm very familiar with the tech side of things but...

Attached is a ground floor picture of the soil pipe in our home. There was originally a toilet which has now been permanently capped off and you can also see a sink waste pipe attached. My plan is to drill out one of the 50mm sockets directly opposite the current sink waste for a new 40mm...
