This might be a stupid idea, can't the leaves of the hinges be turned so the door only opens out? Then you can stop the door opening in.

You could try Rustins Plastic Coating.

You are pushing water up a hill with a fork siliconing the shed. You won't stop the ingress of water either as the capillary action of water will ensure any gap vertical or horizontal or otherwise will allow water in and to climb. You could add additional timber to roof edges to create a verge...

This is mine as it is at the moment, the subsoil has a damp proof membrane covering it held with many slabs. All timber that is in contact with concrete blocks has been dunked in bitumen and wrapped in a dpc, but in such a way that rain water can drain. All timber that is in contact with the...

I like to put them in my back pocket, both at lunch time and at the end of the day my one pencil becomes two, when I sit in the van...always a silver lining....

Well it depends, if the silicone has detached itself from the worktop to upstand then you'll have moisture between the two surfaces. Remove all of the silicone, warm area with hairdryer to assist drying, cover area with towel and allow to dry for a few days. When you re silicone, the silicone...

You can try and get a magic man to repair it, but that'll cost upwards of 500 big ones.

I am a kitchen fitter. What type of flooring are you having in your extension? If you are having tiles and you run your base units with the out of square wall it will show the wall is out of square when the plinth gets fitted. Another way is to try and split the 30mm out of square. Base units...

Go on FB join Kitchen Fitters UK and ask them, they will know.

We can't really recommend anything as we aren't aware of the apertute size, thereof we have no idea. In my personal experience of being a Carpenter for many years, bifold internal doors are cr@p, they are difficult to use, but if you insist on having one then get a Carpenter in, it'll save you...

How to cut melamine mfc with a Plunge Saw and rail. The rail rubber needs to be in mint condition. When cutting the top edge using the rail, set the plunge saw so it only cuts a depth of 2mm through the board, instead of cutting away from yourself, set the saw at the end of the cut a Plunge...

I'm not sure now. I think the force applied when using them for shelving is different to the force when using for wall units. Wall units are a vertical downwards force, whereas shelving is outward force, I think the bracket pushed through the plasterboard weakening it and causing the cavity...

They did.

Long story short Opps, I've just had these fittings fail. I priced to contractor on new build penthouses, in my terms I put "all stud walls that receive shelving to be ply lined". They didn't, I moaned, they didn't care, I used the fixings mentioned. Customer loaded shelves with plants, the...

Before you do anything Google "Corefix" Screwfix sell them. They are designed to span the gap between Dot and Dab plasterboard and the blockwork wall behind. Or in your case a batonned wall.

The original staircase is a "Winder" Staircase, there are three treads which are called Kites, these kites are triangular in shape. Each Kite is housed into the newel post and then housed into the main staircase string, the main string is on the left handside of the staircase as you ascend the...

I would say No they aren't acceptable or legal. The steps to the left despite being wonky I would be more concerned about if they are supported adequately. Stepping down onto the winder is dangerous, you could slip, break an ankle or go for a tumble and worse still. The winder needs removing...

I would guess where the frame to floor is rotten it has both dropped causing the walls to spread which would create a larger gap at the bottom of the doors than the top and hence why when opening they are hitting the flag stones. To repair you will need to support the apex of the roof, this...

Have you got any photos you could upload?

You will need a wood cleaner and a product called Owatrol net-Trol, I haven't used this product, but then I wouldn't have larch. Like you, I don't like the colour transition unless you are willing to accept the ineviatable or spend a fortune on restorer products.
