Re: Roller blinds and their brackets

Just glue a bit of timber batten into the reveal head with sticks like, sticksall/whatever.
Hold it in place till its set (I usually just fire a few second fix brads in at angles so it holds till the glue sets.
Then fix the blinds to the timber.
More or less the same as curtain battens.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little

Dunno about "Insignificant" as I rate it fairly high but might not bother some people as much... People coming out of a pub with bottles, glassware and drinking up then placing the glass item down. Leave it a bit and someone/the wind is bound to knock it over and it'll end up smashed and p...

Re: Can I install a door frame with spray foam?

Thinking about this, if the mortar joints are big enough the old way of fitting casings/linings will work. The old way was to chisel out a few inches of the mortar with a plugging chisel and hammer wooden wedges into the mortar joints like large wooden plugs, cut them back to a plumb line and nail o...

Oh and yer maybe wondering about bellend and nipple heights?

Female carpenters can adjust the bellend height or just guess, no hard and fast rules. Y...

Re: Can I install a door frame with spray foam?

Sometimes thats down to 8 in total (4 each side) depending on the type and style of casing. The heights I put the fixing...
