    LIDL 10.8V L-ion drill/driver £30

    Once it's not on the Lidl website any more, does it mean it's not going to be instore any more? Would really like to get one of these, but from past experience guessing the Lidl closest (Burdett Road) to me won't have these :?

    Added too much water to paint

    I was going to paint some walls; i read about mist coats and stupidly thought i'd give it a try using it as an undercoat -- big mistake adding the water. Anyway, i added too much water and the paints far too thin now, it drips like crazy even when you try to put a little bit on whether it be...

    Removing layers of paint and tiling bathroom

    They're small 15 x 15 cm tiles. Not sure about the wall type, it's a small bathroom and the house was built in the mid 80's. If i had to guess i'd say it's plasterboard? The walls are very thin in the house. I did the first few rows of tiles over the gloss paint about 10 years ago and it's...

    Toilet: Slow flush unless i hold onto the handle

    It is very old, over 20 years old. I can't remember how it was when it was new as i was only a kid :D but the strange thing is, the downstairs toilet never had this issue and always gave a powerful flush. If it was a hold down flush for a full flush, i would have thought both of the toilets...

    Toilet: Slow flush unless i hold onto the handle

    I have two toilets in my house, the upstairs ones flush has been weak for a long time. I know it's not the toilet pan itself because that was replaced a few months back and the problem still remained. If i flush it, then roughly half the tank only empties only so the flush is weak because the...

    Bath Tap Issue: Is it the washer?

    Sorry for the delay in response. I tried to open the tap, but it was fixed on pretty tight, i just wanted to make sure if what i was doing was the right way so i don't damage it. I unscrewed the side screw on the tap but the top would not come off. I hit it upwards with a tool, but that...
