    A TV film you haven't seen (Israel's extermination of Palestinian healthcare)

    If Hamas had released all the Israeli hostages, you’d be right. But they haven’t. if one of the hostages was a member of my family, I’d expect my country to do everything it could to rescue them.

    A TV film you haven't seen (Israel's extermination of Palestinian healthcare)

    Indiscriminate killing of civilians is a very common side effect of war. Made worse by Hamas's deliberate use of hospitals and other civilian structures as concealment for their anti-Israel activities. As for democratically elected, yes they were in 2006. No elections since though and...

    Notching Joists Will Thye Need Sistering?

    Irrelevant of whether the notches are too large, you've removed the land that the floorboard needs to sit on the left side where the floorboard should bridge the notch. That side of the floorboard will be unsupported.

    Did people forget the date ?

    And you want to give our freedom back to the eu. They gave their lives so that we all have the freedom to choose what we want to think and say. I went to the British memorial at ver sur mer a few weeks ago. Very moving.

    How to rebuild this- decorative arched section above window

    There is a wooden lintel that bridges the gap that supports the ceiling timbers. The old infill was some half depth bricks that were supported by the window frame with edge on slips of roof tiles to create the look that was there before. I'd like to recreate the original appearance, or something...

    How to rebuild this- decorative arched section above window

    We're in the process of having some 1980's double glazing replaced in our 1920s house. Unfortunately, the decorative arched feature above the landing window that used to look like this: Now looks like this Annoyingly, the whole section appears to have been supported by the window below and...

    Flexible filler for cracks under bay window

    Its a 4 bend bay and unfortunately the position of the cracks is in a place where the isn't a decent corner anywhere near to finish the paper in. Elsewhere in the house we have a similar bay arrangement with cracking in the same place. We had the bay windows replaced and bay polls installed...

    Flexible filler for cracks under bay window

    Hadn't considered lining paper. Might be a good shout in reality but the rest of the room is painted plaster so my wife isn't keen on the bay having a different texture and paper lines.

    Flexible filler for cracks under bay window

    I'm need to repair some cracks under a bay window. Unfortunately, it's a 1920's house, an upstairs bay and the plaster is attached to brickwork that has been built off the floorboards. There's always going to be some movement, but surprisingly little. The cracks are slightly more than hairline...

    Liverpool Ramming

    I think they'll have to having set this precedent. If they don't, people will make assumptions in the vacuum of information, like the did at the southport stabbings. Unfortunately, the reality at the moment is most of the terrorism we hear about come from an Islamic source, so its not...

    Liverpool Ramming

    Looks more like he lost control of the car to me in a panic. Why would he have stopped and only started moving again when people started hitting his car and opening the car door? Also sounded like he was sounding the horn. It would be pretty intimidating if you'd somehow found yourself having...

    Liverpool Ramming

    Having seen some of the footage, it looks more like a driver that got their car into the wrong place, panicked and then tried to escape rather than a deliberate attempt to hurt as many people as possible using the car as a weapon.

    How to restore this old doors?

    I’d take the panels off and paint. They look like nice doors to me but probably never intended to be bare wood.

    Stairgate needs strength...

    I'd go as deep as you can. The greater the bonding surface area and the greater the penetration of the verticals into the horizontals, the stronger the assembly will be.

    Stairgate needs strength...

    Lots of different ways to do it. 1. Rout a slot full length down the top and bottom rails. insert and glue your spindles and then glue filler strips between the spindles. 2. Mark out and drill round holes all the way though the bottom rail that you then use as a drill jig for the top rail...
