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 !

My fault - sorry. But strange as I normally only look at 'New Posts'. Perhaps my eye was drawn to Similar Threads. OLD POST . No response needed.

Would it work if it came with the cable? https://www.amazon.co.uk/TISDLIP-Extension-Travel-Fireproof-Single-Black/dp/B09B6MYFL8/

You don't need to chop into the ceiling with a stiud will any more than you do with a brick wall. I would have screwed a length of wood into the floor and into the finished ceiling, and then put studs between them. Can you explain what your concern / issue is? Asking as a brick wall is good...

3d print a stick that goes on the timer knob. As timer knob returns to off position, the stick hits and chimes a small brass bell. (In the case of the image below the stick hits or plucks the string that suspends the bell. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0F5GFFYG6/

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...
