Hello, the standpipe tap to my freestanding bath has been wobbly for a little while now. I've tightened up the screws in the past but they just work themselves loose again. It doesn't look like the plumber that fitted it used any rawl plugs, is this something that he should have done? Would it...

Hello, I bought these fire bricks with instructions on how to make a circular fire pit. There's various different designs that you can do with them. On the last photo, it shows the fire pit that the previous owner made using them. I bought them second hand and the guy I bought them off said...

Hello, First post here and I am a complete DIY amateur here. I've dug out a circular area for a patio that I want to use as a seating firepit area. I want to initially put in a Type 1 sub base to a depth of 10cm but I cannot find a calculator for a circular area anywhere as everything seems...
