    Bosch 12v combi drill switch problems

    They have a 3 year warranty; if they break every 2 years it's Bosch's problem? My 18v version of the same drill has been trouble free for around 10 years now; do you go for the 12 specifically for some reason? Weight? Already have batteries etc?

    Temporary propping of loft to allow pigeon decontamination contractors to work safely

    Why do you think it's your job to carry out this level of baby-sitting to contractors whose daily job it is to crawl round lofts hoovering up poop? If I called in some roofers, I wouldn't put the scaffold up for them and tell them to only step on battens that were nailed down; I would expect...

    Screws for timber framing

    You'll be framing in soft wood; don't worry, they will countersink themselves if you want them to, unless you drive them in starting in the middle of a knot Not sure how much framing you'll be doing but your equal cost point for a cordless framing nailer vs those screws is about 5000 fixings.

    Induction hob buying advice.

    Maybe go and play with some in a kitchen shop before you buy (they need to be wired in) I like our Neff for the most part but the control system is irritatingly ponderous You hold your finger on the power "button" (an area of the glass that has some kind of numb touch sensor) for a while, and...

    Selt tap into rsj?

    You can fix it to that joist with a suitable spacer instead. It doesn't need to push/pull on the RSJ, it just needs to be firmly attached to something to operate the door

    Screed over fresh concrete

    (Which might be important if it's 5 mm of self leveller but I wouldn't really care a hoot if 27 tons of screed wasn't stuck to its concrete substrate on every square millimetre..) Also, I gotta point out things like concrete blocks are well cured by the time they're built into a wall and I...

    Screed over fresh concrete

    Doesn't seem logical to me; no one lets foundations dry before they build a wall on them with cementitious mortar, so why dry concrete out before pouring cementitious screed? I'd use self levelling screed,not trowelled sand and cement btw What's your floor finish? Have you considered coming up...

    Perhaps a little tagline at the bottom of the plate "...can't buy class" You carrying a sharpie?

    MS Flight Simulator

    At the very least he could see about imaging the discs into the hard drive then they can be mounted with the click of a mouse (Google "mount iso windows 10" and also for how to create ISOs out of discs) and they would work a lot faster than an optical drive .. but let's dig into it and see

    Brick patio circle

    Dry mix better; it'll cure from the moisture it wicks up from the ground. Wet mix would likely need more clean up after

    Year end. ISAs

    But that's your idea of waste; to those people the bling cars, Botox and fillers, Minecraft dollars etc are vital everyday things they "need". They're living their best lives, spending everything they can't take with them and perhaps ignorantly blissful to boot Are you saying, for all your...

    Can anyone give me an idea on how I could get a staircase up to the loft without a dormer?

    On the other side they abolished them during Narnexit
