Do the plans have to be done by a qualified architect, or do they just have to be of a required standard, or can they be "approved" by another architect?

Hi ! I'm looking for a site or sites online where I can find some good, easy to follow instructions on laying a laminate floor in a bathroom - I am not a very good DIY'er but am prepared to have a go - all help and advice appreciated.

Cheers
Andrew

Demolition is to start tomorrow & will last 2 days. Everything in the bathroom will be removed & hauled to the dump by the contractor. The sink and fixtures for the tub, shower & sink are the only things which won't be replaced.

The price includes reinstallation, replacing copper lines & joists, painting walls & ceiling. Greenboard is to be used behind the tub & Hardiboard thinset to subfloor & screwed to subfloor.

The entire job will last two weeks.

Can anyone recommend something to help my compost along? I have only just got a compost bin and have been putting grass cuttings and food scraps in it, but I would like to speed up the composting process so I can get more in!!! I have heard about products you can buy to help it along but are they any good? Do they work? Are they safe? Will they affect my future compost?

I tried to paint a steel rod last weekend. I left the steel rod on top of few newspapers.

Now the same problem, newspaper is sticking on the steel rod. I couldn’t peel it off very easily.

Are there any ways I can use it to take of these sticking newspapers?

I've recently bought a new washing machine from Courts without realising it's too big for the space I intend to allocate it. The delivery men force it into the corner but the hose for draining got bent instead and water refused to drain hence, my machine doesn't work. If you were me, what would you do?

There is some very, very mouldy fruit (or at least, I think it was fruit at some point in its life) in our office kitchen. There is no way I'm touching it with bare hands, how best do I fabricate a device from everyday office supplies in order to remove the offending hairy lumps?

It is a job I dread. It seems like I usually spend 45 minutes wrestling with the thing before it is finally (sort of) together. There must be a right way of doing it!

Hi guys, okay so it's not the most exciting question but I really need some help. I dropped a vase in my sink and it has made a long hairline crack in it and now it leaks. I have looked all over for a sealant that will be tidy and not too noticeable but one just doesn't seem to exist. Does anyone know if such a thing is available and where I can get it from??

Ive just bought a house and picked the keys up on friday.

It wasnt untill saturday afternoon that I noticed a problem.

At the back of the house, the previous owners had a kitchen extension added and the waste pipe from the bathroom upstairs goes through the flat roof and into the kitchen.

On the plans, the drain is located below the extension which is where the waste pipe obviously connects to.

because we are hoping to have a new kitchen installed, we are a little worried about this.

Is having a waste pipe enter a extension / kitchen against any rules?

thanks

Say I accidentally drank some paint. Then lets say as a solution I accidentally drank some paint remover. Think that will work and I would be ok?

Me and my girlfriend moved into an apartment 2 weeks ago. Everything was fine, but 2 days ago we both woke up with bites all over our bodies, and they itch like crazy. They look almost like tiny mosquito bites, but I haven't seen any mosquito's around. We don't have any pets, so I don't think its fleas. I haven't seen any other bugs in the apartment, so I'm stumped. They weren't here the first two weeks, so why are they here now? We keep the apartment very clean, and the rest of the building is well kept. Do you know what these things might be? This is our first time living on our own, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
