You could construct an L shaped screen ? Make it heavier at the base so it is less likely to fall over Use gripfill to fix battens rather than screws? Potentially paint the crumbly wall with a sealant T stabilise the wall before gripfill

A couple of battens screwed to the wall and some MDF/ply to cover would do. If you want to make it removable, paint it before final fix and then use screws and screw cups

The gas company shouldn’t charge for finding the pipes. There are ways to dig carefully . When my pipe was changed, they used air blast to dig. You could dig (slowly) using a pressure washer.

If you can calculate the weight of the gate, can you calculate the weight of a barrel of concrete? How many litres is the barrel? 210? ( Convert the litre figure of barrel). 5 ltrs of just sand is 8kg. Same in concrete about 12kg Could you potentially bolt and use steel ties inside the barrels...

I’d avoid an angle grinder if you can. It will be quick to cut the mortar, but weeks to clean up the dust. Stitch drilling will be easier

Try some solvol. Don’t go mad. Use wire wool - stainless if you can get it (pan scourer) The sink may be a brushed finish and you don’t want a shine to it.

Is your router a 1/2” one? This one will leave a decorative detail and you will need to consider whether you need rounded corners

I worked in educational AV when SCARTS first came in. People went from stealing the VHS players (we screwed them down) To stealing SCART leads. They were £25 a pop when beer was about £1 a pint

I didn’t have access to the Amazon lights that I fixed But basically there was a two wire dc feed going into an inline circuit board, and a two wire output. The circuit board does all the dimming/colour switching.

Have we established exactly where the break is? I have had a couple of similar lights fail. (Amazon) It’s possibly easier to break open the in line controller (probably just a snap fit) to expose the circuit board . Then cut the damaged cable back towards the lamp and resolder direct to the...

Does your HDD not have HDMI? It should do! What make /model?

If you buy a cheap soldering kit from Amazon ,myou also get heat shrink

If it IS asbestos, (not likely) then it’s now enclosed. No need to worry unless you drill into it and breathe in

Doubt it but for peace of mind a test is cheap. It’s probably animal hair that was used for strengthening the mortar

5mm is nothing anyway, a panel will swell a bit when wet so leave a decent gap Fence panels always go in easier after a heat wave I recently changed my 20 year old panels for new ones from the same small company and all but one slid in. I had to use a planer to shave one panel down. The posts...

I have used industrial Velcro for some applications. It is massively hard to part items once pushed together,, it’s more like Lego than Velcro

A mate of mine was a chemist specialising in paper manufacturing. He spent maybe 5 years working on toilet paper v tissue. He could bore the pants of you talking about the stuff. Bog paper is designed to dissolve, tissue less so. The stuff we had at school was nuclear proof. If they’d clad the...

Cheers I’d probably keep the car until it’s worthless. I was looking at Toyota/Honda or Volvo and maybe Audi. I understand about the lack of underseal, the Japanese don’t salt the roads, They are apparently anal about servicing and spec very highly. My girlfriend’s Honda was opposite...
