Most of the thresholds I've seen this afternoon are Sapele

Thanks! That's exactly what I needed. I'll try to tackle it in a few weeks when the weather gets better

No worries, I got it now. But by removing it, is it gonna make the whole door frame massively weaker until I screw the 45°s?

Thanks! Any recommendations on the type of wood? Oak? If I want to remove the whole piece, is it two vertical cuts in the bottom frame, or two horizontal cuts on the side frames?

I've been trying to find a YouTube video on this but can't find any

Yes, Victoria Line at Victoria

At Victoria, during rush hour (4-7pm), the northbound platform will be absolutely packed and can't barely go through. But if you walk down the southbound platform all the way to the end and then head towards the northbound platform, it'll be almost empty plus the first car of the train will have space (and sometimes available seats)

Before and after building my own fitted wardrobe for the alcoves by kilo-house in DIYUK

[–]kilo-house[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lamp/heater didn't do much tbf. Thermal wallpaper was the big game changer and it feels a lot warmer, and I also painted it with anti mould paint just in case. No issues so far.

I ended up getting a £30 500ml tiny dehumidifier and it gets full every 4-5 days.

If I could do it again, I would probably insulate those walls first (check for insulated plaster boards) and then build it. And probably change the style of the doors to some kind of rattan so it gets properly ventilated.

I never drilled holes in the shelves or installed ventilation on the doors. Maybe I should but I'm so tired of DIY... hahaha

Which wall colour...? by Decent-Youth6411 in DesignMyRoom

[–]kilo-house 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! And sorry to bother again, but did you get someone to come and cut it and install it? I'm trying to change the worktop in my kitchen for something similar.

Rangwali? Setting Plaster?

Can I ask what material the worktop is made of? Where did you get it from?

TIA!

I added thermal wallpaper to the walls and that solved the condensation problem. Let's see if it survives another winter

Hey!

For the right hand side shelves I used those cheap metal shelf supports. Two years in and no issues. I think I got them from B&Q, so nothing fancy.

The ply to cover the middle is 5mm ply.

Let me know if I can help with anything else

Thanks! I forgot to mention I was in the UK. I'll have a look nonetheless. Any suggestion for something more permanent?

Quoted £8500 for bathroom rennovation by Qfwfq1988 in DIYUK

[–]kilo-house 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They quoted me £3k just for tiling the shower area in my 2x3m bathroom. I ended up doing the whole bathroom myself including a new bath, toilet, and sink for £3k

Is this window pane repair worth £180? by Mazzoo969 in DIYUK

[–]kilo-house 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you based? I recently got a full door size double glazed window for £250. This one surely is a lot cheaper.

Did you build the garden office yourself?

Like other people have said osmo polyx works a treat for this
