  • Making the garden cosy with lights?

    Hi, I’ve got questions about putting up lights in the garden. 1. What’s the safest way to string up lights in a small tree? We’re talking 12ft high. 2. Will old outdoor xmas lights work? 3. How can I hide the wire between the garage and the tree safely?

    How to burnish a floor

    What’s involved in burnishing a floor? And how about buffing a floor? What are the differences between each? What are the pros and cons to each approach? If I hired a floor fitter, which option would be the cheapest? Is there much of a difference in the quality of the outcome of using each of these options? Thanks for your time.
