Err... I took a couple of pics, uploaded them to my profile and expected to see them in the post... How can I show them?

We had wood panelling installed in the bathroom some years ago and the bathroom rad was turned off so as not to warp the wood. Now SWMBO would like to replace the rad with a towel rail. The problem is the size. There is 1000mm between the two hex bolts on the pipes either side of the rad...

I've managed to install a replacement shower door but the wall posts either side of the door do not sit flush to the wall over their whole length. The wall is probably not true. I have read many posts warning against sealing inside the cubical with silicone - so how should I keep excess water...

I'm new here. I need to replace a cooker hood. The electric cable needs to pass behind an existing unit to reach the socket. My question is how to remove the unit whilst I thread the cable or at least find where it goes. The unit seems to be fixed with two white blocks - one in each of the top...
