    Can a garage be left with its roof off?

    I have a single, detached garage. It has had nothing done to it since it was built in the 1960s. Its walls are a single skin of brick. It has a flat roof that is covered in bitumen felt. Over recent years the felt has badly deteriorated and the rain has thus soaked into the wood-plank decking...

    Washing machine leak: What sealant to apply to outer drum bolt heads?

    Definitely coming from the bolts. I guess Indesit were like, "People'll replace the machine long before the bolts rust".

    Washing machine leak: What sealant to apply to outer drum bolt heads?

    Believe me, I've been sorely tempted, and I may well end up doing so, but where's the fun in that? :)

    Washing machine leak: What sealant to apply to outer drum bolt heads?

    Hi, thanks I'm a bit concerned that, if I undo a bolt, I'll hear a 'clink' sound coming from inside the outer drum if there's a nut on the other end and it is not welded to something otherwise fixed, so the nut falls onto the bottom of the drum, meaning I'd face having to take the wash drum...

    Washing machine leak: What sealant to apply to outer drum bolt heads?

    Tarp tent over leaking garage roof.

    Under-counter fridge with interior freezer compartment.

    The freezer compartment, which I never have anything stored in, at the top of the inside of my under-counter fridge has, for over a year now, been icing up faster than it should, including, significantly, around and on the outside of the door, jamming it shut, requiring defrosting about once a...

    Tarp tent over leaking garage roof.

    My flat garage roof has been leaking and lack of funds means I'm having to tarp it. I have a load of old bricks so I was thinking of loose-laying a couple of courses down the centre then putting the tarp over thus forming a tent. The idea is that the tarp will last longer as any rainwater...
