A young lad I know locally was in the same situation, desperately wants to be a PE Teacher and not overly bright, may even be classed as dyslexic, so the academic stuff passes him by a bit. He was advised that to get into Teacher Training college he needs to do something to help his lack of...

Of course if you could produce a photo of the exact same colour/make of car showing no damage, that'd be your proof wouldn't it? A trip to a local dealer to see if they've got a suitable car in stock might be useful? Of course technically it'd probably be called fraud. If you got caught/

Take the door off and trim 10 -15mm off the bottom and then put it back. trim the carpet to a nice neat edge, though it doesn't look the best to start with, but then that's your choice. Once you've got a nice clean edge, put a threshold down that fits over the carpet edge, something like this...

Agree it's a mess but if you're happy with the structural integrity of it, then I'd go with brick slips too. Here's some that are a close(ish) match to your neighbours wall and not overly expensive. https://brickslips.co.uk/handmade-brick-slips/13-london-weathered-yellow-brick-slips.html

Since you only bought it last August it's still under warranty. If it does it again, take it back to the shop where you bought it and get a replacement. DON'T accept a repair. Hold out for a new one. Bought one at an auction a year or so ago for £25 and the battery wouldn't hold a charge...

My son's got one in his garden, it's about 20 x 12 and seems an OK size for him and four mates. It's got an outside covered deck too for those pleasant evening. He's got another slightly smaller shed at the end of the pub where he keeps his bikes and garden tools, but the pub/shed bit has a...

Score the tile with an angle grinder then snap in the normal way?

Can you access the loft from the outside? On many houses you can push the second or third row of roof tiles up and that way gain access to the loft. Favourite method of burglary in some areas

Having bought one of the cheapo fifty quid sandblasting kits from ebay to take the paint off a car sill, I can tell you it wouldn't take the skin off a hot rice pudding. Useless bit of kit. You can have it for £20 if you like :roll: . If the beams are already off, take them to a local...

Or even easier, hide the key so the wife can't go in there?

Looks neat BUT for $200 seems to have a zero too many in the price for me. And tbh I've bought so many gizmos and gadgets that look good but don't quite live up to expectations over the years that I'm unlikely to buy this, especially at that price.

Had similar, it was the gas a couple of months out date. New gas and it works fine

I reckon it's that price because in reality they're out of stock and if someone is stupid enough to order one, they'll send an erk to B&Q in Italy to go collect one

I think drilling them out might be a bit drastic? Can you poke something down the side to break through the corrosion? If not you'll have to destroy the battery to get it out, how about maybe try a corkscrew?
