    Fitting concertina (plastic) door - slightly too long

    Probably too difficult to cut. Its only about 1cm out to be honest. One idea was to remove the surround above the door? Good idea or bad idea?

    Snapped key in my trailer hitch lock..... Any ideas?

    Well managed to get the broken off piece out at least. Even managed to get a new cut from this. Alas, no joy. Looks like its seized or something. Assuming cutting off is no go, I can't drill above or below the lock. Would drilling into the actual keyhole itself and slowly using larger drill...

    Snapped key in my trailer hitch lock..... Any ideas?

    You the type, bright yellow, fit over the towball.... Not been used for a while so think its seized but key has snapped off in the lock now.... Any suggestions? Im assuming its easier (if at all possible) to drill out the lock rather than cut the actual bars? After all if it was that easy...

    Fitting 3 garden lights

    Concreting over chipping at side of patio

    Yeh I suppose it has worked so far. Not so sure about the back garden - the patio does flood. Dear wifes bright idea this is because one of the neighbours has done it.

    Concreting over chipping at side of patio

    Just been reading about it. So potentially down each side of my concrete slabs (and between the patio and back of house) there may be buried a pipe which is a french drain? Hmm. knowing what housebuilders are like I'm not so sure if they'd even bother. This is Barratt built 2000. It seems they...

    Concreting over chipping at side of patio

    At the front of the house, the driveway runs straight up to the front of the house so no chippings gap there. Is this normal? Just wonder how this is OK.

    Concreting over chipping at side of patio

    Well I was going to pour the concrete onto the chippings. Bad idea then? I wasn't aware why they existed. Same for the side by the fence I guess? Good idea I guess but I've seen loads of house that don't have this. Could I do but leave a small gap by the wall?

    Concreting over chipping at side of patio

    Pretty common I guess. Concrete slabs/patio then chippings down the sides. Anyway my dear wife has had a bright idea that you can just pour concrete over the chippings and its job done. Shes bought a bag of floor levelling compound. Is is this easy?
