Made my head hurt so I printed it off and cut it to match. I get about 1.24m of matching drop. I really needed the full 1.6m which would go down to just above the top of the bench (it will be paneled below). The 1.24 stops midway between the light switch and the bench so I don't know whether...

Can anyone identify the pattern repeat? Product is FETHR, Birds Birds. I want to cut them exactly in half horizontally to make a row of 6 pieces.

I meant "fund" the LISA for his daughter. But irrelevant as she's abandoning the UK. I've just started one for my eldest. I transfer him £4k, sit there while he transfers it to the LISA app which on my phone (funds have to come from his named account). He's young and has no interest in it - not...

Thanks. I'll get them to check pressure and flow and establish the source of the supply pipe. It's Cruden Bay, near Peterhead.

A mains plastic supply pipe that runs over (or rather under) fields from a nearby farm.

I'd be happy with Stixall round the perimeter, say about 25mm so you could chop it out if necessary (not sure why). My big mirror stuck on with Stixall:

If it's tight dip in hot water for a few minutes. Half that price on eBay.

My brother lives in Scotland in a former farmhouse. Old floor standing heat only boiler that appears to run well. There's a copper cylinder in a cupboard next to it, I think at about worktop height Two bathrooms, both with electric showers, downstairs has a bath. We used the first floor...

As above, when you don't have a great deal, it's more about the pensions tax relief than taking risk to maximise returns. For your daughter, you should be funding a LISA for her, £4,000 a year, every year for as long as you can - if you'd done it last week and this week she'd already have...

My advice would be to lock it away for a few years - a future modern classic.

Make change online, DVLA issue V750/V750e certificate instantly, take to Halfords, get plates, ring insurer, fix plates to car. May involve strategic military style planning - getting a lift to Halfords or catching the bus etc.

If nothings loose just board it over or fill in the holes with mortar and bits of brick. There's nothing needing bashing out or rebuilding.

I've got a £300 Bosch recip but I would use my angle grinder for that job. PPE, plan the cut to avoid it jamming the blade - a cheap cordless would probably be better although when my 900w Bosch has jammed it's just hummed till I could quickly switch it off.

As I thought, screw some strips of wood to join it all together.

Get hold of some old chipboard wardrobes (or buy some cheap stuff) and rip them down into long strips and screw them to the sides of the studs. Screw your plasterboard into the studs 25mm away from the chipboard.
