Hi everyone The piping in my house is all copper except for some lead piping which is under the concrete kitchen floor. I would like to get rid of this as the water flows through it on the way into the house. What can I do- does the concrete floor need to come up or is there a more simple...

Hi there I'm in the process of doing my ceilings with smoothover. I've never done anything like this before but I think I'm doing ok. It was messy at first with, most of it plopping off the special tool and onto the floor :oops: but I think I've got the hang of it now. It is difficult to get...

Hi there I want to transport a washing machine in my hatchback and was wondering if it is ok to put it on its back? I've downloaded the manual for the machine and it says that it shouldn't be put on its side but would on its back be ok? Thanks Alison
