Picked up one of these storease rails today and when got home to plan the drilling and mounting I realise the bricks I was going to drill into arent exactly a surface to make it easy.

Thanks heaps for replying mate! I was going in a similar direction and my research of DIY flooring just on youtube showed me how much of a difference the simplest of finishes will make, and this is DIY I have been looking at too.

Hi All, Just had a laminate floor laid by a known bunch in melbourne and to be honest I am not really happy with the state of the finish. Hoping to find out how to deal with this and is expected and what isnt. The gaps under the door frames are rough and the ends are well, just cut and not tidy. I c...
