    How to bring this antique console table back to its best?

    Would it just be the front that is a veneer? If we sanded it, would it go a lighter colour and could we then oil or wax it?

    How to renovate this antique fireplace

    What paint should I use to paint the mortar in the base? Can I get away with a wood primer then emulsion paint? Don't really want to buy more paint.

    How to renovate this antique fireplace

    I think it is some sort of substance. I feel like I could get it off the flat surfaces, but not off the detail. Not sure how aggressive to be with the rotary brush on the fireplace. I know it is metal, but will it still abrade? That is shown with a thin layer of grate polish already applied...

    Removing side lights and switches

    Have lifted a floor board. Cables seem to go through a joist so not sure how light switch connects. Do I need to try and access from the other side of the wall? Do I try and do this at wall level or floor level?

    Removing side lights and switches

    Ok, little mistake. They are on the ground light circuit. Room is on the first floor. Pictures of cables attached. Assume I need to raise floorboards to see how they connect? Let me know if this is the next step and I will do. Thanks for help so far.

    Removing side lights and switches

    When I turn off the breaker for the power sockets, it cuts power to the lights. Can’t see a fused spur anywhere.

    Removing side lights and switches

    I wish to remove these lights and switches. initially, I thought I could remove cabling between lights and switches and blank the switches. But can I remove more cable so I can removes the switches too? There are on a power circuit so I expect they are wired to the socket on the left.

    Wonky tap does not add character... according to my wife

    Damn. I thought I drilled it quite snug. Could it be anything else? Any other possible fixes?

    Wonky tap does not add character... according to my wife

    I renovated a bathroom with no experience. Everything went fine except when I installed the tap it was wonky. I cant understand how this happened. New worktop (laminate), everything was level. What is the problem / resolution?
