New carpet in the bed room, the door cannot be open or close due to thicker new carpet.
The right tools to do it will be a cheap electronic jigsaw (cost around £14)
first, removing the screws on the door that attaching the door to the wall.
prepare even level chair on few sides of the door to make it ready for sawing. a fairly big space is needed and luckily my kitchen just have enough room 
draw the line that you want to saw and make yourself ready with shoes/goggles for protection.
start to saw it slow and once you used to it then just keep sawing. Remember to pause half way if you think the saw is overheat.
Hope you can do it by yourself too I am going to saw more when doing the wooden flooring for living room this weekend

hi ya…I have been DIY recently for my flat, so I decided to talk about some of the experience.
This topic is about REMOVING WALLPAPER.
Removing wallpaper is quiet tiring if you do not have the right tools even it’s a small room. My office room is done by without using the right tools, so it waste me a whole day for removing wallpaper on 4 walls.
When come to the second room, the bedroom now, I bought the Wallpaper Steamer (cost around £20) and it just took me half day for removing the wallpaper
How to use the wallpaper steamer? fill the machine with hot water, switch it on, when it become steaming, just apply it on the wallpaper on the wall and use the scrapper easily remove it
So, the proverb never goes wrong, 工欲善其事,必先利其器

When Christopher Nolan took the directorial project Batman five years ago, he basically revived the concept of Batman.
Anyone of you familiar with Nolan’s work will know he ‘games’ with the time and space of cinema.
There is no doubt that Batman Begins is a blockbuster but he challenges the fragility of Batman and his emotional upheaval. You may interpret the concept a little deeper like ‘being’ Batman, transformation. Also there is no denial that a lot of references are coming from a psycholoanalytic point of view such as Freud and Lacan. The alter ego of ‘bat’, also the ‘Other’, the unconscious which is his fear-most ‘bat’. His confrontation with his fear and unconscious transform the human being…sound Nietzsche.
Now, this summer, Nolan and his solid cast return with what the batman franchise ‘begins’ 16 years ago.
The emphasis of this film is definitely on the late Heath Ledger as the notorious Joker. From the trailer and poster, the new Joker appears more ‘slim’ compare to Jack Nicolson’s version. Please note that all of Nicholson’s wardrobe was from the late Edward Sexton which his work has a great influence on Mark Powell, Timthory Everest and John Pearse’s Cutting technique.
Will there be and psychological reference this time, of course, I believe Joker is basically the ‘mirror’ of Batman and vice versa. A small different to traumatic unconscious, the mirror stage enhance the existence of the individual, establishing the Ego or ID.
I expect more English tailoring like Anderson & Sheppard’s three-pieces on Christopher Bale and Ralph Lauren’s Purple Label on Caine and Preppy style Morgan Freeman.
Please kindly find two official poster for the film.
Release date is July 17th.
