You need a better technique or a sharper fork :) short sharp stab goes through every time for me.

Recess and bond the verticals into pockets in the top and bottom rails. The bigger the contact area, the stronger the joint. Butt jointing like you've done is always going to be weak.

use a fork :)

That is a bodge. Looks like they've used the wrong size soil pipe adaptor, the pan isn't screwed down with the correct fixings and it's not siliconed to the floor.

Exactly as a previous poster said, the best way to deal with this would be to have a vent pipe running up the side of the building to above eaves height, the idea being that the smells are vented high up away from windows so they disperse, the same principle as stench pipes. You don't want a...

These. You need inset hinges to get the door flush and the adjustable nature of kitchen cabinet type hinges make it a lot easier to get the door to sit right in the aperture. The blum ones are only ones i've used that have the accuracy for the door to close the same way every time. All the...

No, you need a shedload of ptfe tape wrapped around the threads that will seal and allow you to leave the shower arm in the right orientation. Plumbers mate won't do it.

Unless you have insulation in the floor, you may as well burn pound notes and expect them to heat the floor.

The shocks should disappear, but the fault that is causing it will remain. I'd want to know what's causing it The last thing you want is a fire because of a damaged cable to a cable to fail and a load of disruptive work have to be done to find the fault once the kitchen and decoration is...

Many women were upset that 'chest feeding' became a thing in the NHS. Many people full stop are unhappy about the word women being appropriated by transgenders. Its amazing how aggressive these so called transgender 'women' are towards real women. They only seem to care about transgender...

Fix battons to two sides of the hole and screw a metal box to that.

+1 for the thermapen. A meat thermometer is the difference between average and excellent. I did a three rib of beef on the rotisserie on my bbq today. The satisfaction you get as the chef for cooking the food is huge when the food you’ve cooked is enjoyed.

Changed the starter motor this afternoon. The workshop manual is certainly more of a trail of clues than an actual manual! The mower now starts every time. When I mowed the lawn after changing the starter motor, I must have stopped and started it 20-25 times and it started without any...

Probably. I was thinking more along the lines of if there is a general movement towards mixed sex toilets as a result of this ruling. Women would still suffer if men use the same toilets due to their generally poor aim.

Plus men p!ss all over the place and its not fair to inflict that on women.

It actually struggles to turn over when its hot, been running for a while and had 2-3 starts. It'll turn over, but too slowly to start the engine and then it won't even turn over. Typically, when it happens leaving it for a minute or so results in it turning over faster and then starting. This...

Thread resurrection for accuracy. I was wrong when i thought that my mountfield 827H ride on mower doesn't have a charging system. It does. I've been trying to diagnose why my mower struggles to start when its hot. I think its the starter motor causing the problem when it gets hot and is...

Get a smaller diameter bolt.

Too soon to tell. JLR have just announced they’re pausing shipping to the USA so that will affect their investment plans which in turn will affect us, but no idea to what extent. It’s the uncertainty that will be the problem. People sitting on their hands waiting to see what happens will be a...

There will be significant downward price pressure on suppliers, irrespective of whether local suppliers can pick up the slack. As you say, the end product price to the end user is inevitably going to go up, which in turn will inevitably suppress demand which in turn means there will be downward...
