    fitting an extractor cowl from the inside

    Ahoy there! Yeah it seemed ok. I ended up drilling several small holes to punch through my large hole as the core drill bit I have wouldn't seem to do it - not an expensive one. So i drilled my first small hole at the bottom of the circular hole i needed, fed a line through and pulled a...

    fitting an extractor cowl from the inside

    Thanks all. I have purchased the above fitting so will assess it and might try the pull-up string option. It's a good idea. But as i imagine it it would be rubbing against the exterior wall the whole way up. Possibly leaving a silicone trail? I might pull it up through a piece of copper pipe...

    fitting an extractor cowl from the inside

    Cheers John. From the looks of it there are rubber gromits on the pipe and they might help to a point. Then I was imagining smearing/packing mortar in as best I can. It wont look amazingly pretty from the outside but it will be high and not in obvious sight. It probably wont look too...

    PARKING FINE

    ha that made me laugh :D it is annoying when people don't take 10 seconds more to park properly. i once saw a porsche that had parked in the middle of two spaces, with a car either side about an inch from its arches, thought that was fitting. i would advise not to pay and wait to see if they...

    Proof of no claims

    i change insurer almost every year and iv never had a cut in my no claims. if i need to prove it i call them up and ask them to call my old insurer to verify, which they do. but the renewal note is usually enough.

    Car accident..

    at a rough guess the process would be something like > remove light clusters > jack up car and support it on axle stands > remove wheels and remove the splash guards/plastic trim around the wheel arch > now you can access the clips and screws holding the bumper on - remove > you might...

    New shed built with bad wood?

    thanks for your reassurance. i did wonder if i was making a mountain of a molehill - its my first man shed. is there any way to tell if the timber is pressure treated? by looking at ends or colour or something?

    Decent brand of paint to use

    For a non-pro view one paint that is brilliant in my opinion is crown kitchen and bathroom with mouldguard. It has a mid-sheen and is steam and impact proof and you literally wipe anything off it. Thinking about it I've only used own brand, dulux, and crown for internal walls/wood and have...
