You can get plastic kits that have about 5 sizes of adapter. Amazon are expensive for that so Ebay might be better (or Temu if you don't mind waiting a bit). Don't do what I did though and use a steel Henry vacuum pipe. I don't know if it was a short somewhere or if they sander vibration...

Me and my partner have both been married before, and obviously it didn't work out. So neither of us want to get married again. In my mind, anything can happen and I don't want to be looking at another divorce in x years time. So we are looking at civil partnership. But we'll probably discuss...

Sorry for your loss. We haven't done ours yet, despite owning a house together and not married or civil partnership. We both have our separate kids, and one is high risk (autistic). My partner had cancer last year and we vowed to get the will done, but didn't. She now has it back in the same...

rear of the garage conversion. There is nowhere I can see for the Aco drain to go. If you follow it at 90 degrees along the side of the house, it would go into the neighbors garage. There is a drain on the flat roof but that goes down into the utility room and into the shower drain. It wouldn't...

ok will get more pics up tomorrow when light. basically the Aco drain goes into the wall and can't get out anywhere as far as I can feel.

Any advice please. Our front driveway has Aco drains left to right, but the garage and side access was converted into a bedroom. The Aco drain goes into the boundary wall where it just ends. previous owners had a hole through wall, dumping all the rain water onto next doors drive. I'm guessing...

could rain be blowing in through the catflap? Or under the door? Do you know where your stopcock is? Ours started leaking the other day, it was under the cabinets behind the dishwasher

I think you need to manage your expectations. It's made from treated timber that's going to live outside in the rain. Same as if you'd bought fencing. Would you expect treated fencing boards to be covered up if delivered? And what if they did deliver in a covered lorry, but when unloading it...

Mine does the same. It is raised above the concrete base and vented. I have sealed inbetween the panels which has improved matters by 70%. But there are still streaks that come in from the top. I'm just accepting that during the winter I keep a dehumidifer in there. It won't keep the...

most places in Plymouth it's 5-6£ a pint. There's a really crap pub on the barbican which is 6.50. It's always rammed and I don't know why. pint of Greene king IPA in whether spoons was £1.89 and I was gob smacked

it's more about differences than race in my experience. my home town is 4000 people, to my knowledge there is 1 Chinese family and one black couple. If the black couple walked into a pub, people would turn and have a look. Not because they are black, but because it's an unusual site. the same...

it's laziness and being thick. I knew a guy who'd never worked before, thought the Evri job would be a breeze. Drive round all day and couldn't find any of the addresses, so left all the parcels in the van and went to the pub

I've got one with a 1/2 inch drive and it's handy but too aggressive for anything other than large wood screws. it's an impact wrench at heart. the one with the hex holder will probably be better for screws as the percussive action is more gentle. at least that's the case with the DeWalt ones

I'd second the Anker ones, used them for years (indoors only) and they are great quality for the money. They also do a smaller IP67 one for £19 but obviously a smaller speaker. They are so good in fact that my colleague ditched her Bose one and got the Anker because it sounded better, and was...
