Why not 20 years?

Yes fill with some mortar or expanding foam.

I've let my youngest loose on a ye oldie band saw, he enjoyed using that he may have been 10 at the time, he enjoyed cutting out the letters of his name, otherwise he's done basic sawing, drilling (battery drill/drill press) and screwing, mainly making crude boxes/small planters out of scrap...

Erm, it doesn't need to rotate, only move back and forth. :whistle: If you know you know.

Difficult to say, possibly for ventilation, got a photo?

Adding plastic cladding will make no difference whatsoever to the insulation of the roof.

Are you sure it's 25tpi? My money is on it's 24tpi so it's a 5/8" x 24tpi UNEF. You can buy a thread gauge pretty cheap, essential for taking the guesswork out IMO.

SDS then, if you think you'll use it enough ....

Over your mouth would be more useful.

SDS drill. Do you know what the construction of the walls is? Not really is probably gonna be the answer, you could start by asking a few neighbours if there are any you are playing with. Are you the owner or a tenant?

@aveatry Its a standard door step, we have the same in this house, exactly the same in the last house, @Odds Normally the cill sits under the door so that's gonna be easy isn't it. :rolleyes:

I don't think that's very likely, people in high heels generally have their wits about them and consider where they're walking/stepping. A fascia capping would also work, you can get end caps too to finish the ends.

I use Wera 50mm impact PZ2 bits for about 98% of the time then a DeWalt impact mixed set for everything else. I went through a few different makes before settling on the Wera bits, which are quite expensive. I have to disagree with previous comments that ordinary bits are suitable for impact...

Is that water or brick dust we can see in there?

Either remove that whole length of deck board next to the door/wall or cut out that section next to the door, if you don't care about appearances you could make a hole big enough (or use a few smaller ones in a line), then use a suitable saw like a jab saw to cut through the rest of the board...

Is it this one? https://img.aicabathrooms.co.uk/manuals/shower_doors/PR%EF%BC%88S-PR).pdf

The middle one will work with both 1/2" sockets and normal screwdriver impact bits by using the adapter so unless you do a bit of car maintenance I wouldn't bother with that one. Then that leaves the other two and the more expensive one has more torque, for the sake of £15 I would get that one.

Surely one of them can be levered up, where the gaps are bigger? You can probably loosen them by digging out whatever's between them with a suitable screwdriver or similar.

I think you attach a 'toy' to the end of it. :whistle:
