    Painting Asbestos soil pipe

    I think I might leave it. It's prepped, ready for paint. I'll leave it until we have a dry period and if we have viewers then I'll explain and leave paint for them if they choise to buy. It looks better than before. I don't think the fact the pipe is asbestos will put them off. It's ready for...

    Painting Asbestos soil pipe

    I appreciate your response. Are you 100% on this type of paint? It's not cheap. How many litres do you think I need for 2 coats? I don't want to paint it and then it doesn't adhere to it then flakes off within months.

    Painting Asbestos soil pipe

    Lol and my neighbour watched me and he's a builder. All old paint is now off. The metal collars that hold pipe are now hammerited. Can you give me a brand of paint. Maybe a link. Something that adheres to pipe. Preferably one that doesn't need a primer. Probably needs two coats. BTW what's...

    Vinyl floor stain remover?

    No. Would that dissolve the yellow? It's probably nicotine that's seeped through rug to flooring.

    Vinyl floor stain remover?

    Seriously? Yuck!! Bungalow was built in 1947. I'll just freshen wall and skirting board and leave the flooring on uncovered. It took me 8 hours to clean the inside (pvc, windows, ceiling and flooring). So it's at least clean. Hiding the stain will just be obvious and deceptive. What else would I...

    Hi guys, My aunt passed away so I've had the task of cleaning her nicotine stained conservatory. I've attached a photo of the vinyl flooring. She had a rug partly on the floor and you can see a huge yellow imprint left by the rug. I just don't understand how this is so bad. The rug is...

    Hanging Ikea Pax carcass

    These brackets can be mounted if I remove the back cardboard. I have the wall anyway so not needed.

    Hanging Ikea Pax carcass

    John, There's only going to be a few shirts hanging up. 2 shelves holding shoes. Nothing heavy. It's a child/teenage room. Just like a wall cabinet but longer.

    Hanging Ikea Pax carcass

    John, sorry I'm not sure my posting is playing up. A heavy tv is much heavier than this carcass. Many tvs are fixed to hollow walls. It's the fixings that are important.

    Hanging Ikea Pax carcass

    My solution will be baton secure under carcass to support weight, and above fixings to hold carcass in place, 1.5cm baton behind hardboard to fill gap. Does anybody have any concerns with this or additional advice?
