    Have you noticed....

    Nearby to where I live the boys in blue ignore Lads riding motorcross bikes without helmets on the main roads. I was shocked one day when, on my way home, I saw a quad bike with 6 out-riders on motorbikes coming the other way. Not one of them had a helmet on and the sad thing is, I was driving...

    Toilet flushing system

    I've always found our top push button flush value never seals properly and there is a constant "stream" flowing into the bowl no matter how I've tried to tweak it.

    New Combi Boiler but No Flush and No Filter?

    It's a shame they went with BG and not had a shop around at boiler manufacturers who offer 10 warranties on their boilers. All you have to do to keep the warranty is to get it serviced once a year, which should be cheaper than £160

    So it's back: Britain's Best Woodworker

    I always find it funny when I look at the "experts" company and see what they do! But then if you can get £150 for a piece of wood with a hole in it, good luck to her

    Hand painted finish over a sprayed base on a kitchen

    That's great infor. I've hand painted a few kitchens using Helmi and it's great paint but not tried spray painting it. I read that a few use ac or pu for the undercoats because of speed of drying and then hand paint a top coat on site and was wondering if a paint like Helmi or F&B would stick to it

    Hand painted finish over a sprayed base on a kitchen

    I've read a few posts on here from professional kitchen manufacturers that say, they spray a primer, then a top coat in the colour of the kitchen and then after the kitchen has been fitted, the decorator goes in to give a hand painted finish. Can I pick your brains and ask what paint you use for...

    Just a heads up that there's a new woodworking program on Quest. It's called "Kings of the wood". Don't know if it's any good as I've just spotted it.

    Outdoor bench slats recommendation

    Thanks for the kind offer but too far away as I'm up in Lancashire. I'll try another merchant/manufacturer tomorrow (I sure they make windows) and if no joy, it's going to be oak

    Outdoor bench slats recommendation

    Thanks for the infor. I didn't know that. I thought it would get the paint off. Couldn't try it anyway as they wouldn't fit in the bin

    Outdoor bench slats recommendation

    Thanks for all your advice. I'll have another look for some iroko first, then if I can't find any local I'll go with the oak. First of all though I'm going to have a go at stripping the old paint from the cast iron ends. Will have a go at electrolysis, while I've got an empty wheelie bin. Should...

    There is some oak local to me and the seller says it's 20% . Would this be suitable?

    Outdoor bench slats recommendation

    I've been told iroko but no one has it in stock round here. Would oak be suitable and if so (I don't know if this is a silly question) but what moisture content does it has to be for outdoors
