Hi. I have new wooden panelling a mixture of mdf tulip wood and pine. I primed it 2 to 3 times until it was evenly white. I didn’t undercoat because farrow and ball only supply a combined primer and undercoat and another combined option like that was v thick and viscous and difficult to work with. So I went straight to farrow and ball modern eggshell for a 40-% sheen. I have put two coats on and from a distance it looks fine bit up close it looks streaky and pretty obvious brush marks. The paint goes on v smoothly and looks v nice but once it dries it looks terrible. Can you help???

I’m looking at buying a property with a back boiler, what would the likely cost be of removing this and replacing with a combi boiler? Appreciate costs would vary, depending on work needed. The current back boiler backs onto the kitchen wall (from behind the lounge fireplace) and would want the new boiler in the kitchen. Thanks in advance

Metal sheds? Plastic sheds?? Wooden sheds??? I’ve looked into all of them and can’t decide between. So far all I have come up with is that metal sheds might get hotter inside so to be careful what I keep in there. Other than that what are the pros and cons of each?
I need to get a new immersion heater fitted and also to have a new bath and sink to install. So clearly the immersion heater is our priority but the others need doing but is it worth doing each as my finances dictate or would it be best to wait longer and have them fitted together?
I just moved into a flat and noticed that 2 of the wall sockets remain live even when they are switched off. E.g TV is switched off but the light remains on. The two wall sockets in question are in different rooms, I haven't tested all the other sockets in the flat yet but wanted to know what could cause this?
Hi, I live in a semi-detached house. My new neighbour is building a single story extension to the front side and back and a planning application was approved for the extension. No application was made for the back toom extension as it is within 3m. They built the foundation exactly in line with boundary line that we agreed on. Foundation is about 50cm wide. Now, they have started building a wall and built it up to the DPC, back filled soil around the wall but dont think it was inspected since the foundation was dug. The new wall is built right on the edge of the foundation and exactly in line with the boundary line leaving no space whatsoever between the wall and boundary line. Is my new neighbour allowed to build the wall so close to the boundary line and on the edge of the foundation, and how will this impact the roof on the new extension as i have told them that roof should not overlap the boundary line into myside? Your advise would be appreciated. Kind regards Ref
