So for best WiFi performance the router needs to be in the centre of the house. The white box with 2/3/4 flashing LEDs is the ONT (Optical Network Termination) - that cannot now be moved easily however the Router can be. Select where you want it to go close to a mains socket and run the CAT6...

Fish & Chips supper in a resturant. That raises a question - why do restaurants like parts of a meal on top of other parts of a meal? Tonight the fish was laid on top of the chips with the mushy peas on on side-by-side that means to season the chips you have to either eat the fish first or move...

clearly better than the people at USA TSA - when I transitted through Guam, having had my bag checked in front of me, asking is OK to lock the bag, when I collected it in Truk it had been cut open, 'inspected', notice left but not fully zipped up. Didn't seem to be anything missing but I wasn't...

actually - NO!

A £2.50 bus ride - all of 300mtrs up a hill! A fffing steep hill!

Interest - I believe is taxed as 'normal' income'. Capital gains, was £12K over the purchase price then 28% on the remainder; now £3K over the purchase price then 24% on the remainder. The really nasty one is When you take cash from an insurance bond - taxed at normal income rates after 5% tax...

What tools do you have access to, presently? A Router, especially if you are not used to using one is not the best tool. You have think about sealing the glazing in the slot as well putting the frame together. In My opinion a much better way is to cut a rebate (on a tablesaw or with a tracksaw)...

Living in a rural community public transport is either a luxury or an insult. It's rarely convenient for everyone or sometimes anyone. Village I live in has just lost it's only once a day, 5 days a week, return trip to the county town 6 miles away. Home village has 6 visits per day, 6 days a...

Something looks wrong around the chimney stack. The flashing and flunching shouldn't have a gap between tthem. The tiles above the lead don't look like they have been laid correctly is that why the lead us there to cover an even bigger error?

Neighbour has 14kW on his roof with 7kW battery. He's also on Octopus 'Agile' for electricity. I've seen his figures and his electric costs for the last 3 quarters is zero and he also as not paid any standing charge on his gas, only what he uses for heating. That is all through what his house...

I'd also say out a similar amount into a pension if your employer doesn't offer one. I'd put money into a Cash ISA to build up a usable sum for a year or two. Having a Cash ISA will allow you to transfer more cash into a S&S ISA - means less cost to buy in. Certainly anyone thinking their...

Normally I'd agree but what I (we?) don't know both the customer and the neighbour; is there antagonism between them? does the neighbour leap on every little perceived issue? will the neighbour claim the dust from cleaning out the existing pointing is causing problems? I may be looking for...

Just wondering why he's prepared to accept the Job? If the customers neighbour is asking for sight of the PLcert that sounds to me like the neighbour will be a jobsworth and cause lots of trouble for customer and your friend. I wouldn't have a problem with the customer seeing the PLcert but the...
