If I understand what you are doing correctly..... I would get 12.5mm plasterboard, and attach it to your wood with many lines of no-more-nails. I would use lines of no more nails rather than a layer so that the new plasterboard can be pushed in place (squashing the lines of no more nails) so...

Pls check the label before taking my advice...as I am a diyer. I tend to put on three. Wiping it on with a J cloth (the blue ones). And I have on occasion (on stairs hand rails) after second coat left it to dry a few days and used 600grit wet and dry sand paper with water and a touch of...

Another vote for Osmo. Remember to only put on thin coats of osmo (and wipe off excess).

The external feed might have been shorted (joined) when it was cut and replaced with the fibre. So when you disconnected it, it removed the issues - perhaps.

This is the method I used to reactivate the phones and alarm on my BT line, all so the items connected to the internal phone line continued to work after VOIP changeover. It is Still working now...

I recommend the Gate mate brand as they gave worked well for me, olders being 11 years old. (But they do cost more than the multiple no name copies). And note that there are typically two versions, 50mm and 70mm to meet the thickness of your gate...

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...
