Yes, I know that this topic has been covered, but with new devices appearing on the market, I was just wondering if anyone can recommend any of them 'wholeheartedly'? I'll be fitting a new stopcock shortly, and I'd like to fit an anti-scale device at the point of entry in an attempt to protect...

Someone I know (my wife actually) wants outward opening doors on her garden she-shed. I've told her that the wind will catch the doors and rip them off their little hinges. I've given her the option of a sliding patio door or inward opening french doors (like the ones that work PERFECTLY on the...

Good plasterers are hard to find, but I was lucky enough to find one, and he was FANTASTIC... and then I used a different one... and now I'm paying the price... (sniff). Okay, I'll pull myself together. I've learned my lesson and now I need to move on. So... I've finished breaking away the...
