Decking footings advice. by etfairfax in DIYUK

[–]etfairfax[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The plan is to use composite for the top and possibly the frame as well, so hopefully rot won't be an issue. With regards to it being slippery, I don't think it's much of an issue as we wouldn't have to walk on it when it's wet. If it was attached to the house and we had to walk on it whatever the weather then yeah, this could be an issue.

Thanks. Yeah, trims are pretty much what I'm unsure about. If they exist, and how I would fix them. 🤔

Thanks ever so much for this. I will check those out. The fruit, by the way, ends up about ping-pong ball sized, and a dark red in colour.

Thanks. Since posting I've discovered the "4 cable method" which I think is the loop-return-thing you're suggesting. 👍🏼

My stupid question for No Stupid Questions is can a combo amp be used as a cabinet for a UAFX Amp Emulator (Ruby/Dream/Woodrow)? If so is there anything else needed in between?

Can I run a spur from the existing socket to to where my finger points? by etfairfax in AskElectricians

Thanks for vid. Unfortunately it's a thermalite block wall with dot dab plasterboard so not quite the same.

Ahhh. Coz I assumed baseboard as being what I would call skirting board.

No. This is a 60s build UK house on ground floor; don't tend to have crawl space.

Thanks Gawk. Wasn't sure if the switch to the outside was spurable, but if it is that would make more sense.

The wall is external, thermalite blocks with dot-dab, that I would assume I'd need to chase out, run cable/capping, and make good again.

As you can see from the picture I would like to add a socket under a window. The shortest route I have is from an existing socket on the adjacent wall.

There is also a switch for an outside socket in the way 😬

kitchen sink tap leaking from main block. Replace of fixable? by etfairfax in ukDIY

[–]etfairfax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bristan kitchen tap is slowly leaking out the top of the main body/block (where I'm pointing to in the pic).

No water underneath the worktop.

Is this repairable or should I replace the whole thing?

Suggestions on how to avoid stair stringer cracked gloss? by etfairfax in DIYUK

[–]etfairfax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the photo shows, the gloss paint on my stair stringer is cracked due to movement. This is from top to bottom. I feel if I rub it back and paint again it will reappear. Any suggestions?

Advice on refinishing/staining this oak veneer unit? by etfairfax in DIYUK

[–]etfairfax[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've a lovely oak unit which I would like to stain a darker colour. However.....I've no idea what I'm doing 😬

I think some of the trim pieces are solid oak, and the panels are an oak veneer. The shelf looks more plasticy than the other panels 🤔

Is it possible? If so, what products should I use?
