    Networking a garden office

    We've just had a home office installed in the garden but need to set up a wireless network but we're not sure whether it's possible to extend our home's wi-fi to the bottom of the garden or whether we need to install a separate network. We have a power supply but no reliable internet yet. What would you recommend?

    Neighbours Roofer Carried Out Repairs On My Roof

    I live in a terraced house, there is a skew between us and next door. Next door is rented, few weeks ago the landlord said he'd had front skew repaired (we'd seen they'd been getting repairs, no idea what exactly, the scaffolding just appeared one day), the back one needed doing and would we go halves. I asked him to send me the quotes he gets, he laughed and said he'd get his builder to do it. Turns out his 'builder' is a local handy man. I've since had two roofers to look at the roof, the skew definitely needs work, but the 'builder' who did the front skew has bodged it, and carried out work on our roof at the side of the skew, that now needs fixed. Where do I stand on 1) getting next door to pay for putting the dodgy work put right, and 2) stopping them doing any more work on our side of the roof? I'm having visions of coming home one day and them up on the roof without asking again, same as when the front was done!

    Use tile paint on RSJ

    Hi - I am about to buy tile paint. I only need a small amount - I will buy Ronseal One Coat Tile Paint Satin Grey Slate. I need to buy a similar colour to paint an internal exposed RSJ steel beam - can I use this tile paint for that? Do I need to do any prep work other than cleaning?

    Is it possible to have a round kitchen?

    Is it possible to make a kitchen into a more round space, by adding to the walls in such a way that it becomes re-designed as a rounded kitchen space as opposed to something that is more rectangular in shape? Are there many practical issues to consider here? Thanks for your time.
