    Winter time = raising loft joist help please

    Hello everyone, I have been checking out the loft for the winter, 1940s purlin roof. Bad news, only 3x2 ceiling joists and only 75mm of insulation. The loft is already badly boarded all over so I've removed the boards on the outer sides of the binders and topped up with 200mm but the...

    ITV (and others ) logo on screen

    If you mean the transparent logo as mentioned then do not worry about burn in. They move them slightly each ad break to avoid this on older TVs and new TVs don't suffer the same. However for gamers out there that like very bright screens with games that have lots of fixed info eg racing, COD...
