    Anyone got one of these tools?

    Just wondered if they're any good. It's for separating the electrical connectors. (Not sure what their proper name is). It's a task I'm always nervous about.

    Painting over lacquered paintwork

    Thanks for the help everyone. The plan is (once it's ready). Prime it, let the little boy draw with pencil his design/pictures, then colour it in with POSCA pens. They are like felt pens but acrylic ink, they're very good by the way. Then lacquer it apparently.

    Painting over lacquered paintwork

    Bought an old guitar in a charity shop for my little boy. Only thing is it's pink. We thought it would be a nice project for him to prime it and paint a picture on it. It's very shiny I assume a lacquer is on top of the pink paint. Question is what to do next? does it have to be rubbed back...

    Any way of having shallower drains?

    By my calculations in order to get a 1 in 40 drop I'm going to need to dig down 900mm by the stack. I'm not too keen as that means the drains trench runs along the house foundations at about the same depth. The only thing I can think of and I've never heard of it but.... Is there a chamber that...

    Sink trap problems

    It is the bit at the very top. But if flange shoulder is what I think it is (a ring around the pipe stopping it from slipping downward) then that is missing.

    Sink trap problems

    Ok thanks gents. Ill see what's for sale locally. It's a fluke or lasted so long. I've noticed the joint that leaks only has an o ring. I thought it would have a plastic ring too.

    Thanks. Do you know what it's called that I need to ask for? I've tried googling "triple sink trap". Without getting anywhere.

    Sink trap problems

    Hello. The trap has failed and ruined the cabinet and doors. I'll attach a picture. It leaks from the top where I've undone it. It seems there's nothing stopping everything slipping down. Is there a fix that doesn't include replacing everything? Cheers

    What 2 stroke oil to buy (for a ground auger) (Ed.)

    Thanks for the help everyone. I heard back from the seller. As suggested on here he said most 2 stroke should be ok. A garden machinery one is even better. Hopefully Screwfix have one when I'm there next. Cheers

    Hello, the instructions for a ground auger I've bought recommend using "viper 2 cycle oil PN300400". Seems that's sold in America so does anyone know what's compatible that I can get? Cheers

    Is this a bad time of the year to hire a roofer?

    Sorry it's a roof for an extension. It's close to the height where scaffolding is needed. While it would be great to get the roof on I'd rather have it low than gutter height in the winter if it can't be done quickly and well.
