Are there really people that foolish? Because they aren’t enough already? The proportion of a pack of cigarettes that is tax is incredible, no?

Well, he’s decided to move them, paint, then refit so it’s decided.. But careful; someone might come along with the “you can’t do that” finger wag and say the silicone could cause the plasticisers to leach out I wondered how long it would take you to invoke that. Go do some more research on it...

Easy* to have not enough current carrying capacity in a kitchen, mind Give it its own ring if rewiring (*..er than any other room in the house)

Social media is the root of all evil

Indeed.. a) so coating a PVC cable with something fairly impervious to small molecules like O2 will make it more likely that larger molecules like C24H38O4 will be encouraged to leach out, embrittling the cable? and b) so what?

Some hinges have a button you can press to slide the whole window towards the centre of the opening by some inches for cleaning from inside the property. Check your top hinge hasn’t come unlocked and is causing a tilt. It may just need sliding back and locking in, maybe lubricating or cleaning...

We all have issues. Anyone who says they don’t, clearly has issues :)

Hi all Wonder if I could get some opinions on this: https://vimeo.com/1185052970?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci Yesterday, would start, but then engine shut down immediately after starting. Bit of throttle when starting and it fired up and stayed running Glow plug light blinking but seems erratic...

And what do you think will happen?

Hammerite may be used on plastic drainpipes: https://media.firstfence.co.uk/products/64a7e08761f4ad76d1127da5/docs/9a4a77e9-cbe2-4aea-b94d-4c666067c114.pdf T&E sheathing is the same kind of plastic

I didn’t understand your point. A large steel beam may enter a hole in a masonry wall and be “proper” plastered around.. But if that large steel beam had, say, a foot-pad welded onto it that was an inch thick then it couldn’t be inserted into the wall pocket and be plastered around in the same way?

Hah, no.. but I was! :) Spray a test batch or on an offcut of cable. I think it highly likely nothing bad will happen; if you dug into it you’d probably find that the aerosol nozzle / stem of the spray can is also PVC, which would be a poor thing to make a nozzle from if the paint attacked it...

Would the person responsible for the grass(a council? Homeowner?) be willing to find someone else to do that bit? To my mind, I think I’d have a go at modifying the mower so it can be driven sideways, then you can stay on the path, or devise a clip on extension to the handle (eg with a rope...

Schools, businesses and homes the length and breadth of the country are stuffed full of wires covered in emulsion paint

I don’t need you to paste me ChatGPT’s AI slop; I can get it to tell me whatever I want to hear perfectly well myself Please tell me what military movements we should have made, eg what kind of personnel and equipment, where they should have come from, where they should have been deployed to...

Well he has some Napoleonic avatar so perhaps I could be forgiven for thinking HM’s big into military strategy I was hoping there would be an opportunity into observe some genius thought process, a spark of enlightenment never before seen in the collective wit of the Internet, something I could...

This makes no sense. You’re going to put a membrane that allows water vapour to pass, under metal to prevent water vapour from reaching the metal and condensing? This also makes no sense; it either traps moisture (in which case it seals well) or it doesn’t seal well (in which case it doesn’t...

Not so much on ferrous materials. Aluminium ones for sure (where we tend to call it oxidation)

You haven’t said anything; you’ve just repeated the same vacuous nonsense Tell us exactly what defensive action we should have leapt to, o great military thinker

Clarify exactly what action you think we should have taken
