Need some help. Some time ago I built a large blanket box with a solid oak lid, but I never got round to fixing the lid. I need advice on gas struts or torsion hinges that could support the lid with out it injuring someone the lid is 140cm x 50cm and weighs about 17kgs.. Any idea on what...

Just went through each same process the building inspector on my job recommended an air gap of 50mm between the stone walls and the internal studding with 50mm celotex between studs. Any water would run down the stone walls and then below the concrete slab (with DPM) which was left short of the...

Hello and welcome... Workshop looks good. Can I ask what are the 2 items in the top left of your image are they rotary storage pots? If so where can you get them?

Just finished this bathroom remodel today. I did remember to do a before picture, I only just remembered to take some photos after I began the first stage of demolition. I skimmed the artex ceilings and patched the walls where the tile removal removed the plaster. I then totally forgot...
