My reading is that @JohnD is same as me...... I can, and occasionally do, use my recip saw with one hand (my trigger hand), but typically I use both hands, As when used one-handed my recip saw often pushes back and bounces, and some have quite a lot of vibration. And if you have a rotator cuff...

I like my recip as I do find it very safe and manageable. And do usew it to undercut (not too far though as it can pinch the balde)( Well you could always go fro a Dewalt Chainsaw: https://www.amazon.co.uk/DEWALT-DCM565N-Cordless-Brushless-Yellow/dp/B07621F2L2 Noting that: - I have never...

How about a reciprocating saw? https://www.amazon.co.uk/DEWALT-DCS367N-Brushless-Compact-Reciprocating/dp/B06XYTJJLX/ (Use good quality blades, ie Bosch) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-Professional-2608650676-Sabre-S1531L/dp/B0009W868C/ref=asc_df_B0009W868C?

Sounds good. Will there be foundations and will the drum of concrete be connected to these foundations (ie rebar?) Asking as the levereage of a 12' gate can move a lot of weight. It is likely that your gate will easily move a free standing 45gallon drum of concrete.

Is your concrete wall strong enough to cope with the weight of a 12foot gate and the leverage of some kid riding on it as it opens? If it is for fixing above plate to your wall, I would suggest some long threaded bar, resin fixed, deep into your concrete wall...

How about this - they make doors to size. This is in Grey: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266910813284? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/267145576614? and Black: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266972091275? My search on ebay was "black MDF Replacement Kitchen Doors"

Look on eBay for a similar wren door, or cupboard front to yours. Cut to size, Iron on edging. And place over the hole.

I have fixed that very same circuit board twice now. Both times I changed the smaller 47uF (left hand) capacitor and it came back to life (there was obvious sign that the capacitor had failed - ie no domed top). For me it was just the smaller capacitor (47uF, 16V, electrolytic) that was a fault...

How about 2 compressible o-rings in the gap on those machine screws to act as a spring? https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=O+ring+set&ref=404_search Sorry, duplicate - @robinbanks posted this idea first.

Good point - not simply electrical tape. A connector block is much better it keeps the wires separate and secured. All the Live(s) in one, Neutral(s) in the one, and Earth(s) in one. Ensure that no bare Live(s) or Neutral(s) sections of wire protruded from the connector block...

Terminate the wires and put a blank socket cover on it. Do not fill, cover or hide it. That way if you need the socket in the future you could always get a different electrician to reactivate it. https://www.google.com/search?q=blank+socket+cover

Cannon and Nikon were always seen as the go to. Sony (in part because they are now the biggest and best manufacturers of the CMOS detectors) were then seen to have taken a dramatic lead. The Sony alpha range was then seen to be a dominant camera (especially with their mirrorless range). The...

I like the BT Ultra HD YouView Box UHD DTR-T4000/1TB Twin HD Freeview Box that you can get second hand on eBay. Only issue I found with it is that it does not have the Disney app (it does have Netflix and prime. You can also upgrade the hard disk if needed...

Assuming that you are looking for the door bell transformer, it could be in your consumer unit (fuse box). There is an image here: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/consumer-unit-transformer.621963/ SFK

No idea why I said MOT in this context - especially as I frequently use the Wickes ballast you mentioned. SFK
