    B&Q Massive price increase ...

    Crumbs, a good part of your margin is going in that crappy timber before the price increase let alone after. Try going round some local and further afield places and I am sure you will get some good deals. B&Q is very pricey and not great product or care over it sometimes so you will save some...

    Buzzing Consumer Unit

    Hello all Do any sparks on here know why a consumer unit would be buzzing loudly? I came downstairs this morning to hear a really loud buzzing from the main consumer unit into the house. There wasn't any high load items on just lights, it did it for a few minutes and stopped. Should I get a...

    Old job I'd forgotten about...

    That is amazing, shame no WIP. How do you do curved doors like that? I have done a kitchen and it's not looking like that sadly.

    Record DX5000

    The DX5000 has more suck than Hugh Grant ever got an LA back alley. The point noted on bag popping is very true, double bagging is useful. I am sure the more ingenious person could mount in a hardplastic container. I think you can get a lower micron filter kit off Records website too for the...

    Finishing insides of MR MDF carcasses

    Hello, I guess it may be a little late now, but I am making a kitchen right now and I painted up the boards before cutting anything. That way you get a nice even finish, and my first cabinet looked awesome inside with an oak bottom and painted sides in eggshell. Otherwise your method sounds...

    B&Q sales staff :( helpfull or not

    In my experience a big no, I was even inferred to be changing the prices of goods in there once. The crux of the matter is there will be some very good people that do care in larger places like this, but they will do that through their own motivation, and not through many others. When you go...

    Wadkin Brochure....from 1936!!!

    That's great to see, you can see why that stuff lasts compared to a pressed steel taiwanese lump that cuts about as straight as a mountain pass.

    Private Health Insurance

    You need to remember what you are paying for. Private As already mentioned, this can help with scheduled work and sometimes even the unforeseen too. Trauma treatment won't go through private, knock on effects may do, which can help. Private in NHS It is also worth noting the private is done...

    advice on painting mdf

    Hi, Once you've used the MR stuff you won't go back to the normal stuff. IT machines well, holds better and isn't fluffy. It glues fine, it takes finish very well, I have had some good results spraying, get out there and buy some.

    Workshop day all day today on Discovery RT Extra.

    That teak table had some massive gaps and I am sure I remember some biscuit joints going into it which with the inlay that would just collect water to dirt I thought it was pretty lack lustre. There were some good ideas later on with the cutting edge workshop and I quite liked some of his ideas.

    Recession.

    I agree alot with some of the opinions expressed here. Expectations are a very important thing in how any economy works, and the effects of expectations have an effect on all of us if we like to admit it or not. The effect of the press spreading doom and gloom every day can't be ignored, but...

    If you could live anywhere in UK, where would it be?

    Whoever said Taunton then you really should think again. It's not what it was that's for sure.
