It is not a no-no. And I have in occasion done this. BUT it does make it less safe to use. For example, we already know the switch is poor quality with the contacts sticking open. Joining the Neutral side of the switch removes the operatunity for that side of the switch to switch off the...

Fyi, as a diy-er I marked the floor and ceiling where the studs are before proceeding. This Made it much easier (for me) to find were the studs were to put the screws into, when I had a new large sheet of plasterboard against the wall.

What is that (what looks like a) lump of loose wire between 1 and 2,?

As above But I reattach the end vertical battens and then use that as a guide to cut the laps (stops them bouncing and vibrating about as I cut).

Freddie, I think a typo, you said That said acrylic is clearer and more scratch resistant and less prone to UV damage shouldn't that be That said glass is clearer and more scratch resistant and less prone to UV damage SFK

And if you really want a cord/cable stain relief, put one of these on your cable before you put on your new plug. Attaching it with a blob of glue on the cable. Never done this or used these, and as said I would not bother as cables should not fray at the plug...

As per Koolpc, cut the broken plug off the wire and use a new plug (take fuse from old plug and put it into the new plug so correct fuse value is used). These plugs have a small strain relief. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DYDZ4DGF But in my opinion they look low quality and but I normally (and...

I have found a replacement pressure relief device. I did a google search for "triton t100e shower pressure release device" << Not your shower, but the part in the YouTube video look similar to the part in your image. and found these two...

See this video where I think your the issue is. The 'pressure relief device' in question and highlighted above can be seen shortly after 10mins into this video. The suggestion is that back pressure (caused by calcium in showerhead or a twisted showerhead pipe) has caused the internal pressure...

In theory yes. I would suggest you ask at Canadian Tyre as they used to be helpful and knowledgeable when it came to car items.. Lilley that you need that rivet set and a mid priced tool. (Remember that this web site is almost 100% UK users, so have have more knowledge of UK shops over...

Home depot might be closer than the UK based B&Q. :) But for rivets I would first consider Canadian Tyre: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/cat/tools-hardware/hand-tools/rivets-rivet-tools-DC0001808.html

I use a detail sander: https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb887sdr-160w-electric-detail-sander-240v/512vv

I have a 4m wide, 60cm deep floating desk. Recessed into three walls. I used sold oak slat kitchen worktop. I did not want any legs so I could move chair to any point along its length. I screwed 25mm x 38mm wood on all three walls to drop desk onto. I used this dimension so I could screw...

Note that it does not have to be 250vac. It has to be 250Vac or greater. There is no issue having a higher figure (and it can be better, although they do get bigger). You will find it easier to find a 3.5uF 450Vac capacitor. What shape is it, black rectangle, white cylinder, or something else?

How long are your footings? Asking as a cubic metre of concrete weighs 2.4t. Every 1m length of your 0.6m x 0.4m is a quarter of a qubic meter. So every meter length will be you lifting 600kg of concrete from the ground and around to the front of your house !
