Thanks for your replies. The Trend router bit is £38, there is a Erbauer bit for £12. http://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-rounding-over-bit-shank-31-8-x-17-5mm/33100 Obviously the Trend is going to be much better quality, but is the Erbauer going to be so bad? Is it worth investing in Trend, I...

I have a peice of MDF; 1000 x 1000, and 18mm deep. I want to take the edge off on all 4 sides (as per the pic). If I use a sander I'm not sure it will be perfect finish, Or will it? Do I need to router it off, or do it some other way? Thanks in advance.

I switched on the ceiling light this morning, there was a loud bang and this happened. The remainder of the bulb is still in the fitting. Any idea why this happened, do I need an electrician or can I just replace the bulb and carry on? Thank you in advance.

Thanks Chirpchippy, a biscuit? Where would you get the steel bar from? It would be good to understand how this is fixed? Thanks.

Thanks for your quick response gents. Foxhole; when you say 'shelves could sit on plastic blocks' do you know the proper name so I can find them on the Internet? I could make sure the shelves are 500mm wide maximum, does this mean the shelves could sit on plastic blocks, and therefore no...

The wife sprayed cillit bang on the hob, and it's damaged it as you can see. Any ideas how I might be able to lessen the damage, any products available? Many thanks.

My current van (Combo), is an ex BT van, considering the abuse I've given it, it's been very good over my 5 years of ownership. I'd be more than happy to take another from BT (Transit) this time, but where would I find one. The guy who sold me the combo no longer has a contract with BT.

Thanks for he comprehensive reply Burnerman, the vans I an looking at have 35,000 to 55,000 on the clock. I think I'll give them a miss. Thanks very much.

I'm about to buy a used van, thanks for the guidance on here it's going to be a Transit. I've seen a few on line and have spoken with the dealers, the good value vans are ex-lease, for example purchased by the dealer from 'Burnt Tree' or 'Enterprise', is it a bad idea to by an ex-rental...

In order to lift the plug in our bath, you have to turn this big chrome knob to the left. Our chrome knob has come away from the bath slightly, our twin boys (aged 2) like to put their fingers in the gap, but then cry when their fingers get nipped. How do I tighten this? There's a hole...
