I've got a holiday water timer (aqualin one), one of the 'nuts' that connects to the tap has split, it seems to be v similar to hozelock and gardena connectors in that there is an insert that screws onto the tap then this collar/nut is tightened on to it. I can remove this piece but have no...

Yeah I picked them because 1) they were free 2)They're bloody heavy so should act as a decent anchor! In hindsight blocks would have been easier but they're in place now with the greenhouse on top of them.

They're forming a ring underneath the sides of the greenhouse - the floor will be partly planted (raised bed) and patio slabs for a walkway.

I lucked out - the greenhouse I got has screwed on bar capping in addition to the clips.

Morning all - bit of a random question here but I've got a greenhouse that is sat on a base of scavenged offcuts of pre-stressed concrete beams. Lengths are ~650mm- 900mmIts on an allotment so the obvious poured concrete base/foundation is a no-go. I've got them all set and levelled, the...

No - you'll probably hit rebar and/or crack the post. You're better off screwing battens into the panels themselves - assuming they're your panels and not the neighbours?

I'd tend to agree although if you end up needing a new blade at 16:10 on a Sunday it's worth knowing - my old blades end up either as scrapers or I take a grinder to them to give them coarse teeth for cutting plasterboard etc.

cut slightly oversized then plane to final dimension on a shooting board with a depth stop.

What I'm trying to say in a very long winded way is that the wifi boost function of your powerline adapters may effectively be slowing down your wifi to the degree that it's actually slower than your internet connection so try turning off the wifi boost function on the adapters if you can and...

Depends on what kit you've got and what you're sending across your network - if you have a media server etc. then you may want to try and get your LAN up to gigabit speed, if it's just streaming from the internet then your internet connection should be your limiting factor. But...having played...

They're not repeaters AFAIK - they form a MESH wifi network with the Q hub which is different from a repeater etc that you'd buy from PC world etc.

If you can run an actual ethernet cable between the router and where you need the connection then try to use a CAT6, then plug that into an a switch (5 port gigabit unmanaged) then connect up the PS4 and firestick with either Cat5e or Cat6. If you're talking about running cable from the...

anyone tried waxoyl instead of paint - no good if it's on view but seems to be very resilient
