Hi, I'm in Bristol but quite regularly get to Basingstoke, M4 corridor and Warwick - have you a supplier in mind ?

Thanks both, I'll look into it.

Hi, last year I made some small lockers for my pseudo campervan using 6mm mdf - they were fine and looked OK but I'd like to redo them with an updated design and a bit more strength (so Plywood is likely). The problem is I am no carpenter and the corners were tricky, in the end I used ugly...

Use baby oil (or cooking oil) - rub on with cotton wool or kitchen towel then wipe off. Works brilliantly on shiny chrome etc.

Hi, I am not aware of any of the windows in my house as being defined as fire exits, it is a bog standard 'modern' house. The windows that have just been replaced were single glazed wooden frame units with 'standard' hinges - nothing special at all. The only reason I am asking as because...

Hi, it wasn't a matter of 'a right to them', I am just confused by what I have been told and hoped for some clarification. I know there is no requirement for 'easyclean' ie ones that allow you to reach either side of the glass, it is the fire ones that I am concerned with. I was told by a number...

Hi All, I am in the middle of having all my windows repalced with uPVC units. It's been a complete shambles so far with the company making loads of mistakes but I am getting there slowly. One of the issues is the upstairs windows and seemingly strange mixture of hinges used. Can someone please...

Thanks for the info guys. Interested in the wood glue comment 'thin as possible' ? Is this a case of less is more? Also roughly how long are we talking to let it dry, is it hours or days ? Brill info so far, thanks again.

Hi, I am wanting to build some relatively small boxes/containers (45-60cm ish) to fit in some awkward places in a campervan. They will mostly have to have 4 or 5 sides making an irregular shape (for footwells etc). I think Plywood is the way to go (3 or 4mm?) but is there a product that I can...

What a helpful lot ! :D I'm going to keep digging until the first section of fence (6 holes) are dug and then see what options I have. I'm nervous about concrete posts as (I assume) they need to be really accurate wheras I imagine wood ones are a bit easier to alter (eg screwing battons to...

Oh dear, I think I'm getting out of my depth a little here. Pre-cast gravel board ............... not sure what it is but I wasn't going to use it. My intention was to put up some posts then attach some fence panels. Sounded simple. Having dug about (haha) on the net a bit, I assume gravel...

Thanks Guys, I dont think the first suggestion will work for me as I dont really have the space for a concrete base. If there is a need for vertical sides these will have to be 'manufactured' rather than dug. If I dig the hole as best I can then put something like a piece of drain vertically...

Advice please, I am trying to work out how to replace an old fence. Currently 3ft panels that are held with Metposts but are all wonky (wobbly and not lined up!) and very poor quality. I want to replace using 6 foot panels and 8ft posts but am having severe dificulty digging to a 2 foot depth...
