Hi all I want a compressor and soda blaster just for occasional use so don't want to don't want to spend much. This compressor seems a bargain http://www.sgs-engineering.com/sc24h-24-litre-high-flow-air-compressor I asked them via customer support what else I would need to use it to soda blast...

That's a good suggestion. Thanks

Thanks all Can't remember ever seeing the gap before but for those asking it is under the top layer of bricks.

Hi all Sorry if I have the terminology wrong. Have a 60s bungalow with heavy concrete tile roof and was in the eaves yesterday when I noticed some movement of the layer of bricks the roof base plate goes on to. Bit concerned about it. Would strapping the plate to the joists be a solution...

Hi all What would you put on the edge here to make as neat a finish as possible. I have to do the prep for the plasterer coming Friday! Patio door has come out so want to keep the rock as it is in the conservatory to right of pic and finish the reveal. I'm hoping to board up to the existing...

//www.diynot.com/network/tzartisan/albums/ Hi all Hope the album of photos helps show the problem. Largeish 5x3.5m glass roofed conservatory sinking in one corner. It was either a guttering overflow problem now fixed that was causing it (unless coincidence it happened that corner) or...

Hi all. We have a south facing house which currently has a UPVC and double glazed conservatory with a glass roof. It is virtually unusable in summer and freezing in winter. It is a reasonably large structure at over 5mx3.5m We wondered whether there is any way of removing it and replacing it...

Thank you for replying - I should have thought of that but wanted to minimise disruption as the beading is off on the inside only so thought I could remove the glass from inside. I will give that a go. Thanks.

Hi all We have a composite door that was fitted with the wrong glass - the door was faulty too so the installer just left it here as it was (see pictures) We can live with the fault - frame out of square but now have the correct glass to go in the door. I'm unsure how to take out the old...

Thanks for the reply. It didnt hang around long aftern the supply was cut off. We do have decent drainage (for rain) it was just too much for it given the rate it was flowing at and was pooling around it. We have pretty hard red ish soil - not sure what type you would call it. The blocks...

As luck would have it four days after the completion of our gravel front drive leading into block pave paths and patio a water main burst up the road and flooded the front garden. The house is on a slope and the water ran down and collected in ankle deep pools for a couple of hours before the...

Hi all. Having moved my shed to the bottom of the garden from the top I need to extend the power feed. I have armoured cable at the moment but I would need another 30metres to do the job which costs a fortune. I happen to have a garden hose the same length which would accommodate the usual grey...

Hi. I need to find two metal thingies to hold a bit of 4x2 or similar to secure my garage doors internally. Ive no idea what you would call what I need and I have looked at the diy stores without success. They cold be metal rectangles to slide the wooden bar into or u shapes to hold the...

Thanks both. My skills are intermediate I guess but I do have a good mitre saw etc. I didnt pay attention to maths at school so working out the angles for the cuts is where I have the problems plus the difficulty of attaching uprights to the base. Do I make the base octagonal or should I have...
