    My screws look terrible!

    Thanks, I might give these a go.

    My screws look terrible!

    It’d need to be a thicker piece - the chairs are actually different heights! Might work, I’ll have a think thanks.

    My screws look terrible!

    I bought some of these, but they didn’t cover the fixings enough.

    My screws look terrible!

    The acrylic is only about 4mm thick, so I don’t think I can. I’m not sure how I could skim it …

    My screws look terrible!

    Aaaaaah now that’s not a bad idea! I do have a bit of oak that would blend in. It’s not to hard to fill the holes and repaint.

    My screws look terrible!

    To stop these chairs scuffing the wall at work, I’ve put up an acrylic panel. It’s just been a bastard of a job. Some screws are just wall plugs, some are the proper plasterboard ones. Plus, because the acrylic is probably a bit thin, it’s bowing slightly. Any ideas on what I can cover the...

    Repairing plasterboard THEN attaching curtain rail bracket

    Is it possible to repair this plasterboard hole and then reattach a bracket for a curtain pole? It’s in the middle of bifold doors, so the bracket really does need to go back exactly here. There’s only a small gap between the plasterboard and the brick, so it’ll be impossible to slip a bit of...

    Sensor tap and under sink water heater

    Any words of wisdom or pitfalls to avoid? I plan to run two sink units from an under sink water heater, with sensor taps. It's a commercial property with (obviously) no hot water. There's actually four sinks, but in "pairs" in that two are on either side of one wall (kitchen and WC) and the...

    What is stuck on the inside of these windows?

    I was hoping this might be the case! It looks a bit crappy in my opinion, but then it is a bit old.

    What is stuck on the inside of these windows?

    Ah, so I want to be sure it’d safe to remove! Would it be weird, though, that it’s just around the edge?

    What is stuck on the inside of these windows?

    Even just the bit around the edge? In any case, that means it should be fine to pull off, I guess.

    What is stuck on the inside of these windows?

    What is this grey film stuck on my windows, and can I pull it off? This is a commercial property I’m planning to take on. It`d look much nicer if it was gone! I do wonder if it is an anti-condensation thing, as it’s a single glazed shopfront.

    Trying to fix a fluorescent light ... now the starter is glowing?!?!?

    They are about 1-1.5 m long. Not sure of the wattage. I replaced the starter like-for-like (S10, I think). The glowing looks just like the pic halfway down this wiki page, so I think I'm all good on that front! The other one though, I'm stumped. New starter, new "bulb", still doesn't work...

    Trying to fix a fluorescent light ... now the starter is glowing?!?!?

    Wonderful. Thank you - the glow kinda "looked" normal but I just couldn't find anything out about it at all!
