@PQR you can loosen/tighten the plug by using a flat head screwdriver and unscrewing from the top of the plug you can see in the above picture. There is usually a large rubber washer that goes underneath the sink where the waste meets the plug. That might have deteriorated. You could probably fix it by putting some silicon sealant on either side of the waste and the underside of the plug where it meets the sink.

Just unscrew the plug and I'l sure you see what the issue is.

@Hovis not sure if your question is directed at me, but I think we spent about £1500 inc appliances, was done a very tight budget - that doesn't include the flooring though.

@CYOA Cheers! That wood is just the top of the boiler cupboard. I recycled the old kitchen plinths to build the boiler cupboard - that's just a bit I haven't painted and waxed yet.

Glad to see we are bang on trend with everything we own then!

Cheers @TheShipwright! - we just uncovered it. Seems its a common thing to do in our Glasgow tenement block that folk cover that window up to maximise storage. I couldn't even reach the top cupboards so they were pointless. We also have tonnes of other storage with built in cupboards in the adjoining dining room so open shelves seemed nice and were free as they are off cuts from the worktop.

Progress has been slow but I've nearly completed our budget kitchen refurb. The only works done non DIY was gas hob installation. Looks good at the moment, but with a baby soon to arrive in a year it'll most likely be destroyed.

Before

Yesterday - still need to skim around the window and paint and finish the boiler cupboard off.

Thanks @Airhead here's a picture: These are just nailed/screwed on and are pretty badly deteriorated

I'm in the process of digging out the putty and replacing and sanding and painting so they should hold up for a few more years till I need to bite the bullet and get new ones fitted.

I need to replace the outer "sill" on some sash windows. Its not the actual window sill but a lip thing thats attached to the bottom on the window case . As you can tell I have no idea what its called and my searching for it isn't helping. @Airhead I feel like this is a thing you'll know about. Can upload a picture if the above makes no sense.

tentpole event.

I get that it might be a marketing term. But it also sounds like a boner fest.

If you want to discourage it. Try squirting water at it from a water bottle, especially when it has its face at the cat flap. It won't like it but it won't hurt it. Hopefully it will soon learn. Good luck

It might take a while for Patch to get used to the cat and then he/she might not be that bothered about the cats presence and you can just let it do its thing. Failing that, they'll brawl it out and avoid each other. I have always found its best to let them sort it out themselves. And, they will.

We had a cat that started coming in through the bathroom window in a flat years back. I tried everything to get rid of her. Turns out my cat really liked it and they just chilled together for a bit in the flat or in the garden and the other cat would go home when it felt like it. We never fed it or did anything to get to to stay, it just did.

the struggle is real.

100% - my experience of lettings agencies in this area has never been positive. They are largely a bunch of goons.

Has anyone found a good solution to stop cats from scratching sofas? Ours has destroyed one chair and is on her way to the next. I've covered every corner in masking tape which stops her, but I can't see that as a permanent solution.

Thanks mate. Appreciate the help.

nice. Glad it wasn't full penetration.

Sand it back where the ring is and maybe a couple of inches outside of that to blend it and then apply some danish oil (probably a few coats otherwise there will be a colour difference). I've sanded out quite a few marks (some from tins) on our worktops over the years and could never tell afterwards.

ok thanks @Airhead - so if the power is just for the existing light, can I just switch it from the current setup and install a 3 way rose type thing. I basically want to remove this:

and install this:

I want to install a 3 way ceiling rose and run three lights off it. Can I just replace the existing light thats there or do I need to do anything special? (Existing light is a rancid 6 spot LED thing on a metal rod)

@giles337 cheers man, PM sent.
