I'm going to replace the wood guttering on my terrace house, but I'm not sure how to join it to my neighbours guttering. I require 18ft, which I will be buying from a local shed. This length will need halving for transport, so again how do I join these sections. Cheers

Any tips for removing woodchip wallpaper with 30 years worth of paint on it. The house i have just bought is decorated with the stuff from top to bottom. Tried using a steamer and wet sponge but neither seams to penetrate the paint. :x Cheers

I'm wanting to replace the ceiling in my bathroom as it is badly water damaged and unsafe. The cause of the problem was a leaking roof, which has now been repaired. I think I will have to replace the complete ceiling as it is ALL badly damaged and has gone weak & crumbly. If someone could...
