    Does being right or lft-handed determine which way round a room you go when painting ?

    I’m right handed. The thought of painting anti clockwise makes my head hurt!

    Mystery thing

    Maybe the previous owner was a car radio fitter, and he got a set of keys with each radio?

    Joke Thread 4 (closed).

    That’s a good idea. An irony thread!

    Are EV's good value? Apparently not!

    EV’s are fantastic if you can charge at home, off peak even better and you never travel more than its range before returning home to recharge. Not so fantastic if you’re renting one and plan a longer journey and will need to rely on the public charging network. Even more daunting as well if...

    Renting a garage

    Anyway, around our way, just south of SW London, it seems to be £150pm but for a single only. My brother who lives Staines way pays £80pm for a single but that was 10 years ago. Not sure what he pays now. £100+ I would think.

    British Sumer Time Note

    We’ve got three clocks that are quarter hour chimers. Now that is a PITA moving the hand on and letting it chime each quarter! Mustn’t complain though ;)

    British Sumer Time Note

    The purpose of the clocks changing twice a year is to give people something to complain about.

    Best Paint Sprayer - Reasonable Cost

    I am thinking of spaying the doors of my kitchen. I've done a bit of airbrushing in my time and am assuning that the general basic principles apply. I will check more information though. However, at this point it will be a one off job and may not necessitate buying any kit but rather hire it...

    Hafele Shelf Clamp Supports

    I need to fit these shelf support clamps. The thing is that the screws that clamp the glass shelf in place have a chrome cap. I am assuming that this has to be removed to allow access to a screwdriver/allen key hole to allow tightening and fixing the shelf in place. There is no way I can...

    I put this to my wife. Apparently, you’re mistaken.

    Hardening MDF

    I had thought about that and did wonder whether it would work on MDF.

    Hardening MDF

    That's the stuff!! I knew that there is a runny glue that I used to use on my modelling years ago. I've been Google'ing epoxy resin with no success. Yep, cyanoacrylate, that's the one!! Many thanks.

    Hardening MDF

    Hands up, I made a mistake. I panelled our bathroom in MR MDF which has worked just fine. However, I bought MDF skirting without thinking, not MR MDF. Now, there has been a drip from the shower door when it is opened, just enough to sit on the skirting and cause the paint to lift and get into...

    Osmo oil on a Wickes Oak door? (says not to)

    The oil may not soak through the laminate to the glue but may cause damage where the laminate has been cut through for hinges, locks etc where the glue edge is exposed?

    Is it not possible to use beading?

    Let’s play a game

    Funnily enough, I was about to put the same model of morticer here for sale. Don't think Ill bother now :confused: Mind you, selling online is a bit of a headache. I've just "sold" an item on eBay. Guy wins bid, can I get him to pay or even communicate? Hell no. I am hoping that nothing has...

    Council charges and DIY refuse

    My experience is that each council is different. Mine vs Dad’s for example. My council also appears to have an annual “change of mind” with the occasional mid year adjustments. At one time they decided to allow one free bag of hardcore and then £5 per bag. Plasterboard was the same, it was...
