Pallets to make decking diy
I’d like to use pallets for a small decking area that will have garden furniture to sit on. I know the wooden pallets will rot, so was thinking to use membrane before putting pallets down and tearing them with oil. Is there anything else I need to put under them? And what would be best to put on top of them? Alternatively, I thought plastic pallets might last longer but still not sure what to put below and on top of them and additionally, how I would make them secure and start together?

Who do I need to ask to give me access to my eaves?
I've asked several carpenter/joiners about cutting an opening into my plasterboard wall and installing an insulated door to the eaves space, but no-one so far has said they will cut into the wall. Should I be asking a builder to create the opening and a joiner/carpenter to fit the door? I'm not sure how this is normally done.

Can you get flat hinges for kitchen cabinets?
I am trying to create a panty in a cupboard that once housed fridge/freezer. I have to pull out drawers assembled but the drawers are hitting the hinges so I can’t put them where I want them. Can I get flat hinges that attach in the same way?

Fitting skirting about radiator pipes
We’re looking to fit new skirting, the old skirting we had was 45mm our new skirting is 119mm but the issue we have are the pipes for the radiators. They’re quite low down which is causing a problem with how high the new skirting is. How would we tackle this problem? Jigsaw the skirting to fit round the pipes? Or try and slot the skirting behind the pipes by removing the radiator temporarily?
