Need quick fix help for w/c, please!
Comments (10)This room is an ideal blank canvas! I would replace the tiles behind the sink with a more modern design...mosaic sheets would be so easy to use here as it's a tiny space to be covered. Check the Templo ones from Topps Tiles - I've attached a photo. I would then choose a nice dove grey colour for the walls to give the room depth but still keep it light and airy. Replace the mirror with something more decorative and add baby blue accessories as in towels etc....See MoreCan I build a small wall myself?
Comments (9)I am with the other comments here. Expensive fitments can look naff if poorly installed. Inexpensive fitments can look a million dollars if well fitted. Why not try your skills by partitioning part of a bedroom, hanging doors and making a wardrobe. I imagine this will take you 3 weekends to do. Then you should envisage how much work is required in the bathroom and if you can have your bathroom in a poor state for that long. I get that everyone has a budget but perhaps you shouldn’t start this project until you have the money to do it. Perhaps money can be saved elsewhere. Lastly I don’t mean to sound unkind but being able to put up a few tiles is not the same job as tiling the whole bathroom and it may be beyond your skill set. A tile cutter won’t cut real stone so you will need a wet saw which should not be used by the inexperienced....See MoreHelp with fixing cantilever oak block breakfast bar to granite worktop
Comments (9)One or two observations: Oak breathes, in as much as when wet it will expand and when dry it shrinks, that's why it is good for boat and barrel building, when wet the gaps close up and make it watertight. What that means for a worktop is that unless the wood is stabilised (soaked through with epoxy) it will expand and contract, if glued to the granite that means when expanding it will warp, staying still where the glue is and bending downward, not much but it will. Perhaps a less porous wood could be better, bamboo is good, then, if the counter top end is flush, you could screw and/or glue a stout batten of matching material to the end of the counter to add support ( extend it out past the front of the counter to ad support to the overhang) then glue the block to the granite with epoxy and screw up through the batten....See MoreHow can I fix this extension?
Comments (8)Looking at the brickwork it certainly hasn’t been built by a proper builder. Sorry to be negative but it looks like a DIY nightmare. I doubt it’s even got proper footings. I think your best bet is to remove it and re-build. Not what you want to hear I know and I know you’re on a tight budget, but you can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear. I’m sorry....See MoreTennis Boy
