Yet the toilet can bear you sitting on it? Lift the seat, board over the hole, job done Leave the step ladders closed and lean them on a wall, then climb them I’ve also before now laid open step ladders down on their side and put a board on them to hop up a little. Depends how sturdy they are...

The world would be a better place with less technology

If it’s from a dealer, it’s covered under the distance selling regs giving you 14 days to choose whether to keep the car or not, and arrange a return. Drive it back and train home, could be a cheap couple of weeks hire all in?!

Mm, and people are so timid with their driving these days I doubt that any modern car would see a vapour lock even off severely contaminated brake fluid, but equally water content will spread through the entire system by diffusion and the occasional pad change pumping all the fluid back into the...

It’s ok, with the money they made from selling(/not having to maintain) unused storage buildings, they were able to buy the parts needed :)

You just squeeze all the fluid back into the system? Oof; the stuff sitting behind the pistons has the hardest life; I’d sooner get rid of it Depending on how fast you go through brake pads, if you dump it instead, you extend the time between system fluid changes, or possibly obviate the...

You recently had cause to remove the plastic drawer that houses the M4 bolts and put it next to your work area. The job was interrupted. Some days later you had need of a bolt, but couldn’t find the drawer and performed a different job. Some more days later you completed the original job and...

May not be important; depends on the choice of light. If it’s absent or not connected to earth, it should influence the choice of light State your concerns, rather than making vague claims

The hissing/popping noise that indicates some part of the water is boiling For example when you put a kettle full of water on an it starts with noises/bubbles attached to the element, but the bubbles are absorbed back into the cooler water above without becoming a rolling boil (air bubbles...

One of the things for which Google glasses would be good; a video recording of what you did with your hands Maybe even a motion activated recording of your garage Perhaps you find things out of place and return them but don’t remeber that part (it’s not a very interesting process)
