    I broke the main fuse seal

    Absolutely no need, they will already know you have broken the seal, and pulled the fuse. Smart Meters instantly report back, any interference with them, or their supply. What a silly thing to do!

    Old steel gas pipe removal in 1930's house

    !950's and I was quite young. The reason I remember it was, a bare earth wire had been run alongside it. There must have been some voltage difference between the copper pipe, and the earth wire, because it eroded a hole in the pipe, and ignited the leaking gas. This was run in the celler, by the...

    LHV Debit Card

    Estonia, backed by uk.gov guarantee. I got fed up with the zero interest accounts offered by the UK big banks, where you have meet certain conditions of putting so much in per month, a minimum number of DD's, special offers, and discounts on ice creams I didn't want. I just wanted a plain...

    LHV Debit Card

    I was ordering on my PC, via their website, I used it several times before successfully, with a NatWest card. This time, it allowed me to enter the card details, then as usual said 'don't refresh the browser, just wait' - whilst it validated, then a DOS like cryptic message, mentioning error...

    LHV Debit Card

    Since moving my regular household debit payments, and day to day spending to LHV, to gain some interest on the account (4.2%), all has worked splendidly, until yesterday afternoon. Yesterday, I tried, and tried, to order a take-away for delivery, but the site repeatedly went to a long, very...

    Old steel gas pipe removal in 1930's house

    No, read it correctly, it said 'generally used when town gas was converted to natural gas. That suggested to me that they installed the steel for natural gas. I just made it clear that steel had been in use long before.

    Cover outside drain and waste

    Nope, that would be pointless. You can buy cheap, plastic, drain covers, which can be trimmed to be a close fit around such things. That would at least make it tidier looking. and easily removed for inspection.

    Can anyone tell me if this is usual finishing to Fascia/soffit/guttering replacement

    I would likewise have little confidence in his ability, having seen your photos. I am rather surprised you have been able to contact him, and have him agree to return at all. Usually these people just take the money and run. I must admit, I hadn't realised originally, he had done the edge of the...

    Door hinge screws not secure, quick fix?

    I will happily help anyone, either face to face, or via the internet. But I do have my limits on patience, in that I expect the OP to at least apply themselves to the issue, use their own eyes. 47 pages to solve what is a fairly minor and obvious issue, is not reasonable. You must keep in mind...

    Bl**dy council

    Now collected! They made a special collection, and knocked at the door to ask where it was - rather than have it soaked, and heavy, we had moved it into the hut, round the back. I emailed my local councillor, offering to provide the section of video, where they just briefly glance up my drive...

    Yep, I called it a U channel above. That's why the soffit, is all over the place.

    Google/Meta court case

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c747x7gz249o Awarded $3M because she had become addicted to social media, from the age of three. Parents suggest it wasn't their fault. Really, who bought her the gadgets, and allowed her to spend so much time on it?

    Most likely ice buildup, expanding and contracting with variations in temperature - defrost it.
