Superstitions are just coincidences and associations that stick, and shouldn't even be in the same conversation as the very real threat from paranormal worktops.

You can pick up a chakra realigner on amazon for £4.99

Well if they're not solid quartz we had nothing to worry about right from the beginning! Thanks.

Not my job. I'll tell the missus the same thing as when we got the dog. You want it - you have to exorcise it.

My concerns were real, and I thought I was posting in the more general forum.... But noted :)

3 minutes of what?

I'll have you know, they put across a very convincing argument.

I have a friend like that, Deaf Geoff from down The Swan, who reckons he invented the Soda Stream.

Can Malc be trusted?

The wife has seen quartz worktops on one of her Real Housewives programmes and will not be swayed. I just don't want to fork out a load of money on a decision we'll regret, like we did with the air fryer. The parish priest is popping round at 2.30, and hopefully reassurances from him combined...

Cheers. I know we're probably worrying about nothing, but it would be just our luck. I've been looking at spectrometers on Amazon, and they're more expensive than the worktops. Found a basic one on AliExpres for £6.99 but that would take quite a while to get here, and we're sick of doing our...

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone out there has any experience of quartz worktops in their kitchens? I was listening to the Reclining Pair podcast the other day, where the host was talking about fitting the kitchen in his newly (self) built extension. He was saying that quarts has energy holding...

We only have a standard corded power drill. I'm a big lad and can get weight behind it - will a good quality masonry bit go through into the brick? The other option is these new Gripit plug fixings, but they're a bit expensive. Thanks.

We went and got a load of shelves, rails and units yesterday, as we're very short on space in the kitchen of our new flat. Came to fit them on the most spacious wall today and hit a stumbling block. Drilled my first hole, and it went through about 1cm of plasterboard, then about 1cm gap, then...

will do, thanks. from memory, it's like a red boxed horn...

We rent, so it isn't likely we'd get those kind of changes made. That's why I was hoping someone might have an idea about rigging some kind of box to place over the siren which would lessen the noise....

I get that, but it's also prone to go off when anyone burns a piece of toast, and I can see myself being a twitching wreck within a month. A fly farting two streets away would wake me up - this is not a problem. I just want to take the edge off it a little. Apparently we're not talking about...

I think I got something like 50mm screws. I was out of town and passed a proper DIY shop, so I went in and asked. By this point I'd approached Ikea and explained what had happened, and they have sent me out a replacement set of wall fixings, so when they arrive I'll see how the ones I bought...

Hi. We're just moving into a new flat. It's in an old building, made up of maybe 8 apartments, each has it's own sensors and glass-smash boxes for the alarm, but when the alarm goes off - it sounds in each of the flats simultaneously via red siren boxes on the interior walls. Now I haven't...

We bought the Ikea Fullen bathroom cabinet a couple of weeks ago. I put the thing together, and kept the screws with it, but they've since gone missing. Can anyone tell me what kind/size of screws and plugs I'll need to mount a cabinet of this size...
