Breezer your opinion of my DIY skills is obviously higher than mine Im not blonde but sometimes think I should be! Whats a ratchet and crimps???!! Think its time for a phone call to the pro's before the house burns down. :shock:

I know Im not allowed to ask this question but how much do you reckon to fix this ?

Firstly, Thank you for all your great advice Unfortunately my broadband connection has been down all day and only just come online so I was not around to take the great advice and have gone down the classic bodge route. Took a bit of plasterboard off and seems the drill had gone right...

Whilst putting up a curtain rail I seem to have drilled into a live wire :cry: Sparks came out of the hole I was making with the drill and all the electics tripped off, luckiliy I didnt get a shock (apart from the shock of nearly falling off the ladder) Now I notice that the hole I was...

I have a floating T&G chipboard floor which was lined with quarter inch ply and had old ceramic tiles laid on. We have taken the tiles and old board up but the ply was screwed and well glued to the chipboard and there are areas that will just not budge, leaving bits of glue and residue of...

Well.... the product itself looks good having seen it in kitchen showrooms and its reasonably inexpensive to buy online at £300 for a 4m length BUT finding someone prepared to take on the fit is not easy! Apparantly having spoken to a couple of worktop fitters it shouldnt be a problem to fit...

Can anyone tell me are these worktops hard/expensive to fit (any more than ordinary laminate) and is this a specialist job or should any good kitchen fitter be able to handle. If anyone knows anyone in the North west area who could do this job please let me know! Thanks

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a supplier of kitchen cupboard door dampers (the ones that give a nice silent closing action when the kids start the door slamming) Also, what would be a "fair" price for supply and fit of a blumotion system to a drawer box as my kitchen supplier...
