Sorry can't help with the door query but One tip I can give you is to get a rubber shock absorbing mat if the washing machine is not sat on a solid floor. I built a double cupboard to house a washing machine and a tumble dryer, the client wanted them raised off the floor with a small plinth...

As others have said it's hard not to drift, I use nelsons approach of do a little, reverse a bit and a little forward again. Regarding blades I prefer makita ones, I was also given a few festool jigsaw blades by the rep during a on site demo they were the most rigid jigsaw blades I'd...

That's a great solution Steve, I will very shortly poach that design, I have some curtain poles to put up for a client and will face exactly the same issues you've mentioned. As for a laser level, some where I have a spare one I was given by a friend who was retiring I look for it tomorrow and...

That's a real bummer Claymore Keep on looking and a decent one will find its way to you. As they say patience is a virtue. I remember my grandad had a p5b rover which I loved going in, my favourite car he had was a triumph dolomite sprint, he used to take me to school in it most days I not...

you might want to make your trench a bit wider, I'd struggle to dig a trench 60mm wide and 300 deep (hammer) Your calcs are about right for a 600mm wide trench but as skipdiver mentioned use 1 & 1/2 tons of ballast.

I relayed a clients first floor with reclaimed oak floor boards last December and they specified black bison to applied (2 coats) it does niff a bit but wearing a mask helped, by all accounts it wears very well. It's been down nearly a year and they've not to do any maintenance on it I'd be...
