cupboard

We moved to a 1950s detached house in September which has a cupboard space under the stairs. I've noticed some quite heavy condensation inside it which you can see in the attached pictures.

I'm looking to create a cupboard around my kitchen combi boiler. Is it safe to cover all 5 sides? Or do the top or bottom have to be left exposed? Also, is there any issue in trying to line the cupboard with some sort of soundproofing material? Thanks for any input.

Hi I put some plywood shelves in a cupboard and want to protect them from scratches etc. Not fussed about the finish. Is sanding sealer enough to protect the surface? Thanks, Kristian

I want to build a cupboard under our old stairs. At the moment there is a small coat hanging area, but the far end is boarded over. I removed a board to see behind, the area where the stairs meet the ground is full of rubble and soil like stuff, some bricks and planks appear slightly...

Fitted new kitchen cabinets. Want to have a low light glow under them but nothing bright..Just to add a little splash as kitchen dull in a few places. Mains or battery under cabinet leds ive see seem a bit bright. Anyone know something not expensive and only small glow?. I know there are stick...

Hello fellow DIY'ers. I have a flat in a 1930's building, in the process of doing up as it's been rented out before and bodged quite badly :( So the bathroom looks like it has been done in the last 10 years. All looks ok but the boiler cupboard is a mess. Plaster falling off crumbles dust at...

Hi folks, could I ask for some advice please on laying out some downlights in the kitchen? I have 600mm work surfaces all the way around the kitchen. On the one wall though, I have 300mm cupboards above. To reduce shadows being cast across the work surfaces, I planned to have the lights 500mm...
