    Henry hoover - no power

    I had exactly this with a ~15yo Henry. Some kind of fault inside the moulded plug. Found this after I dismantled it to look at the winder contacts.

    Freestanding Fridge/Freezer in Cabinet

    It's in the cabinet to insulate it from the adjacent radiator :D We had an integrated one when we moved in to this house but because it's sat on the base of a unit, it's necessarily about 15cm further off the floor than it would otherwise be. As the ball and chain is vertically challenged, we...

    Sleeper planter against garage wall

    How big is this thing? Can you detach it and re-attach it so it no longer bridges the DPC? In any case, I would line it so the soil is not in contact with the timber to prolong the life.

    Geraniums. You can get a second flowering if you chop them back. Not a massive range of colours but they're tough. https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/trials-awards/using-award-winning-plants/10-award-winning-hardy-geraniums-for-the-garden Toadflax [Linaria purpurea]. Nice and tall.

    Pls help me find a replacement 9v adapter

    Why not? It's more flexible - will work in any country with appropriate local cable. Perhaps the original product is better specced than the replacement you've bought.

    Solar Pannels and Changing Sockets

    If in doubt, isolate. Your PV inverter should not energise its output if it does not detect mains voltage, so you could get away with not isolating it if you switched the main breaker off. But it's not going to cost you anything to do it thoroughly, so don't take the chance.

    Advice for building a shed

    Metal sheds are prone to condensation forming inside and "raining" on the contents, so you're probably best avoiding them. Are you looking to store the BBQs or is this a place to use them in the winter as well?

    DeWalt DWE7485 table saw quality issues

    How hot does it get in there on a sunny day? Is there a potential for the glue to soften to the point where it starts lifting?

    DeWalt DWE7485 table saw quality issues

    Homemade weed killer or shop bought

    Concentrated glyphosate is so cheap, I am not sure why you would bother trying to concoct something. It cost me less than a tenner for what will probably last me more than a decade.

    Bedroom door key side

    I think a picture is in order here. Without knowing exactly what you're asking, how about sleeve nuts and bolts through the door? No need to fix into the timber then [as such].
