Hi Cece16, welcome to Boards. As Spear said, you could try the DIY forum. Alternatively, those over in Construction & Planning might be able to steer you right if you would prefer not to handle it yourself.

This forum is typically for newcomers to ask and find out about how the site works. Have a read through the stickies at the top, which should answer site-related questions you might have and help you find the appropriate place to post a thread.
