    Hard wood decking types/colours

    Hi there kind people of DIYnot. I need some advice please. We wanted to change our dated stone patio to some nice wood decking. I have bought some weathered hard wood decking locally.

    Will my newly varnished sleeper coffee table stain the carpet?

    Hi diyers, Varnished a sleeper (untreated don't worry) coffee table last night that I have been building and am all of a sudden cautious about placing it in the living room. I don't want it to stain the carpet, no less so because it is a light carpet and only a rental!! Should it be alright...
