In pure frustration and defeat I've ripped it off the wall to start fresh tomrorow. Can anyone offer advice in very simple terms where I measure to get my 1m line top and bottom and where i go from there? Do I start with my horizontal and mitre it to the angle then go up or do I do my vertical...

So I discovered which I didn't realise was the bottom of my rail is not 1m from top step I must of tried to leave room to cut away later. It's a bit up the rail, so I cut this at 21 degrees and it was almost right but a gap at the top of the mitre. Tried 23 and 24 and having the same issue. Do...

So 41 degrees is the angle ?

Thanks for that. So the angle I put the dado rail on must be wrong as I tried a 70 degree cut earlier and it was a fair bit off. How can I find the angle with it currently on the wall? I have a trend digital angle finder. My wife worked out the angles so she must of either worked it out wrong...

I've tried this they still don't seem to march up. They go up at a different angle to what my dado rail is. I'm really really stuck

Hi I'm trying to do wainscott paneling on my stairs and hallway and I cannot get thr end of the dado rail to meet and come straight. I've worked the angle out to about 53 degrees or there abouts, I've tired cuts on the mitre saw with a sacrificial fence and can't get it. Can anyone offer...

I've done some Roofing on my garage, refelted half way down as the old undersarking was falling away and added a dry ridge and cemented the verges but I'm not sure what I'm doing with this flashing there are so many options and I'm so confused. I cna get up to the roof easily and I have a...

I live in NI so things are generally a bit cheaper here than UK. It's not expensive, it's just expensive to me as I don't have a lot of money hence trying to DIY everything. It will be a couple of months before I can afford it.

Hi folks. Posted a while back about the flashing on my garage roof which is split and leaking. It's an oil fired boiler flue. I've tried to seal it up with gutter sealant which worked temporarily but after a few heat cycles it goes again. Some forum users gave great suggestions on replacing...

How does this look. Gulleys Square in red, feeding to a channel drain in orange so it catches the rain water/run off as all water flows down there from my large concrete pad, then pipe in red again to a soakaway at bottom of garden

So there at 2 gutters 1 at either side, 1 discharges into the flags and I'm worried about the founds this is the 1 you see in the picture and the source of all my worry, the orher discharges into the grass/path and goes downhill so I'd be happy to connect both to the same system and let the pipe...

Hi all. Trying to add drainage for my garage guttering, unfortunately when I moved in the garage didn't have any just a gutter discharging into the pathway that the previous owner laid on concrete flag and my worry was it going into the foundations long term although it's been like this for...

Excellent explanation thanks for that much appreciated. I guess I'll just leave it alone I suppose!

Double post by accident apologies

Very helpful. Whys it pointless? I want to stop the holes getting bigger overtime

Hi all. Wasn't sure where to put this so thought this would be best. I have an old concrete driveway with large cracks in it and would like to go about filling them in as best I can just for aesthetics and general upkeep, although I know nothing will truly fix it. This driveway is like 50 years...

Will a regular fence paint do the job? Didn't think it would be grest yeah but didn't realise it was illegal as well. Rather not do that to the environment either

Thanks for the help earlier in the week on fixing my fence. Its 90% back together now I've got every thing ready to go but I haven't filled the holes back in yet ontop of the post crete. I'd really like to paint the fence a nice green or grey colour as it's a 10 year old wooden panel fence...

Thanks for the suggestions. I've got everything fixed up now almost. Unfortunately the local shed here homebase ran out of postcrete and Ill have to go to the builders merchant tomorrow to get more. I'd love a boarded fence but I can't afford to replace it all I thought it would look really...
