Yes ignore those YouTube things that look like electric drills. The laser welders, that also look very similar to an electric drill, do work but are stupidly expensive and are accompanied by massive boxes and wires that, generally, do not get shown. the rest of the stuff perporting to be welders...

Stick welding is where you you have a rod of welding material covered in a flux that shields the weld whilst you weld the material. MIG is where the welding material is a wire on a roll that has a flux core. The wire is fed out on a roller system contained in the welding machine. The flux core...

I'm no plumber but if you are having that much trouble with it and spares and engineers are scarce or non existent I would change it.

I had the same fault although not on a Dacia. On my vehicle the crank arm had been rubbing on the motor wires and eventually wore them through so every time I tried to use the wipers the fuse blew. I had to remove the scuttle to get at it.

Tried this hack on 3 Makita batteries so far and it hasn't worked on any of them. Admittedly two of them were chinese knockoffs.

Personally I would just leave it alone and worry about getting the old tray out if it stops working.

I have no idea what mix he used for the pointing but if it was a weak mix or just sand then it needs to be a stronger mix of mortar. If it rained heavily just after he pointed those slabs up then that could have washed some of the mortar out. The other thing as well is that rest of the patio...

Have a look on Youtube for ways to upgrade unsupported hardware to Windows 11. There are lots of ways but the easiest I have found was to use Rufus. All hard drives come blank and some you even have to initiate before you can use them. Those that need to be initiated do not show up in "THIS PC"...

But of course now that you have messed about with it they will probably say the guarantee is nullified.

Looking at that pic it is leaking where the elbow joins the pipe going through the wall. Putting gorilla tape over the insulation wont stop that and condensate is slightly acidic so it could damage the bricks if left. The joint needs to be remade and as the join where it is leaking is slightly...

Trump had very little to do with it. Hamas have, virtually, been bombed into oblivion by isreal. The thousands of protesters in isreal, who have brought netanyahoo's government to the brink of collapse, and yes even little Greta had a hand in it. Whilst trump has done some negotiating, which I...

It's a Bush. WTF do you expect?

We voted for him because we had just gone through a disaster of a government headed by Thatcher (I will admit that thatcher seems to be a god send now in view of starmer). What we all thought was Labour was headed by blair so we voted for him. What we didn't know at the time, or at least I...

Thatcher started the rot in this country although what has come since makes her tenure seem amazing. Blair did his bit to bring this country down (and still is.) Then 15 years of an absolutely disasterous tory period followed by the clown we now have. Starmer got into power on the back of a lot...

Yes russia is goading NATO. Nato should shape up and do something. Trump is a russian agent so that does add extra bubbles to the turbulance and makes america an untrustworthy NATO member. I sincerely hope that britain does not have to bring in conscription because the government, such as it is...
