    Nail and nailer sizes for shed OSB interior wall

    +1 for screws - it takes a little longer but there will come a time when you want to remove the OSB and you'll be very pleased that you screwed them in place rather than nailing them.

    Removing dried Danish oil drops from engineered-oak floor.

    You could try a denibber, as used in automotive paint shops to remove specks/runs that are proud of the paint. They are designed to shave off the 'blob' that's above the paint surface without digging into the underlying surface This is the one that I have (others are available) Festool...

    Compressor/ Makita 18g Nailer

    The idea is to keep as large a bore as possible for as long as possible. The large bore hoses are less flexible so add a 'whip hose' between the end of the air line and the tool. Whip hoses are intended to stop vibration from the air line pulses but, as they are thinner and more flexible, they...

    Compressor/ Makita 18g Nailer

    I've got an AF506 and brads from 20mm-50mm and it has never had a problem with any of them. Once you have set the depth they all get driven to that depth with no need to adjust the compressor - no fiddling about, it just works... Remember the top of the longer brads are higher up in the feeder...

    Buying a 15g nailer?

    For the interior USB in the shed, I'd recommend screws rather than nailing as it'll make your life much easier when you want to remove it for some reason - and it's virtually guaranteed that you will want to get behind it at some point e.g. running cables or clearing out a mouse nest. For...

    Chalk deposit in toilet pan

    If you have a water softener, it's very unlikely to be limescale but remember that mains water contains dissolved minerals other than calcium and these will also leave deposits - with hard water you don't normally notice them as limescale is the major deposit. Your local water company should be...

    Bosch PBD 40 drill on offer

    Sorry, all of the emails were sent through the eBay local messaging system so I don't have a direct contact number/email for him One way around your problem might be if you post something on here requesting assistance from a member in Germany (I think there are several), they might be willing...

    Which Glue Gun To Buy

    The one I have is no longer available but one feature that I find very useful is that it has variable temperature - sometimes it's very convenient to be able to make the glue a bit thicker or thinner by nudging the temperature up/down a bit

    Getting the last Marmite out of the jar

    There was marmite in the house when I was a kid, my Mother and sister ate it (can't remember if my Dad liked it or not). I couldn't stand the smell and had to leave the room if they were going to be eating it. I honestly don't know if I'd like the taste of marmite because I've never been able...

    The joys of electric car ownership!

    does that extend to no treatment for STDs if you've ever had sex... ...and I'm not treating those friction burns on your palms because I know what you've been up to... ;)

    Fitting latch in door mid rail?

    If they're that worried about the depth of the latch, you could offer to fit surface mounted knobs (no through hole) and magnetic latches. I've fitted a few of these and they require a recess < 10mm deep. They give a strong hold with nice clean edge to the door and frame...
