Hello Are there any tips for wallpapering around obstacles, in my case I have a narrow space that includes four corners with curved coving going into the wall, so I have to paper around a range of different sized curves. As I'm using patterned paper, I can see it going pear shaped and cursing...

Hi all I had a power failure earlier due to a dishwasher fusing. Sorted that, but I assume it had a knock on effect on my heating system. The Altech thermostat box downstairs is fine, the power box underneath is fine too, but the box above (not branded, assume Altech too - before our time) is...
