I know that he and his wife split up, but she remained on the show? Think he went bankrupt at one point?

Why? My aunt had MS and relied on her mobility vehicle to get around. She’d paid taxes her whole working life, apart from a couple of years when the MS made working 5 days a week too difficult. She would have been entitled to a bus pass once she retired, but couldn’t use a bus.

Look on the other side. See where the rad pipes go

I use remote sockets. Mainly because I have them. They use a small remote control. You could tidy it up using a kinetic switch I suppose

I have pierced car grommets in the past when fitting car alarms. I found that a cheap biro case made a handy funnel like tool to feed cable through a grommet. Use a scalpel to make a cross cut and push the “nib “ end into the grommet. Then feed the wire into the pen body. It can be slid over the...

He also accidentally shot a Texas lawyer while hunting. No lasting damage

You could get a piece of tempered glass cut to fit? (They cut it to size then temper it) And paint the underside with the wall paint. It will give you a wipe clean ledge that matches the walls.

Theoretically, yes. But avoid full weight as much as possible. Always rely on woodwork, not plastic to support weight.

I am assuming that you have rafters running front to back? Probably at 10° or more fall for rain to drain? Either start in the middle or go side to side, keep your weight on a ladder. I have stood on poly wall but only where rafters are

Condoms

From memory, it was the top surface. I guess it doesn’t matter but when installing, you need to peel the film off the edge by 25/35mm to clear the joining strips.

10mm should be fine. My conservatory had 10mm when originally built but was changed to thicker after 10 years. If you still have the choice, aluminium joiners are better but plastic is fine, so long as you can live with UV brittle You could use corrugated or even sheet Perspex. The only...

A bit random but…. A wet and dry industrial vac either set to suck/blow from below?

Some better close ups might help? See if there is a makers name. I suspect that they are like a sliding wardrobe door, in that they slide into a top track first, all the way up. Then slide the bottom into the floor track and it drops down? Glass is very heavy. You can buy suckers to help handle...

My American friends often hold a Fourth of July bbq. I used to have a girlfriend in Coventry and mid summer they had some kind of annual celebration based around Godiva. They had fireworks. I get the point. I hate fireworks - there is no need for large bangs these days. There are silent...

If you can’t weigh it down, you could make some posts that are roughly the height of the ramp to the ceiling. Add a small plate of ply/MDF to the top and bottom of the post. This will increase the overall length so that it’s a tight fit and will spread the load. Fit them between the ramp and...

Is it a wooden floor or concrete? You can try to bleach the wood, concrete may be harder. But the Lino will have to come up

Is it dot and dab? Or a timber frame? Look out for noggins

Friends of mine’s parents had a large Edwardian double fronted detached house. Not massive, but with a couple of attic rooms and maybe four first floor bedrooms. Quite a few similar houses were converted to flats or dentist surgeries. They had bell pushes in the ground and first floors. I don’t...

Watch out for the heat gun. It is possible to char the wood and if you are concerned about lead, may well give off fumes. I’d follow the advice above and go with stripper and wire wool
