    Joining Oak Beams

    I am building a lean-to car port and have installed the 3 uprights in 100mm x 100mm x 3m in oak. I was planning to build the roof structure in softwood using 75mm x 50mm with a 5m long cross member on the top of the oak uprights. Due to an ordering error I have 2 extra 100mm x 100mm x 3m oak pieces. How could I connect these on the top of the uprights, I was planning to use 150mm timber lock through the soft wood cross member but if using the oak would have to abut the 2 ends of the oak beams on top of the centre upright. Is there a special bracket/connector for the centre column? Thanks in advance for your comments. Andrew

    Help! Skirting board has come away at one end

    Hi guys, I've recently fitted 1.5m of skirtingboard to a small section of wall in our lounge. I decided to use no nails, which has worked brilliantly apart from one end which has come away from the wall slightly. I'm thinking that I should screw the end down, but am a little concerned that the debris (wood/concrete) from the new hole I need to make will get between the skirting and wall, therefore stopping me from screwing it to the wall. I hope this makes sense. Thanks.

    Door frame sealing

    Hi, I painted my wooden, stable front door and noticed that the door frame has been installed and gaps sealed with transparent sealant. It has been done by the previous owners a few years ago. I wanted to seal the gaps with something to prevent water and cold air getting into the porch. I looked for a proper gap filler. What would you use which looks better than self-expandable foam?
