    Wago snapping

    I thought you could push fit those ones when closed (ie the lever is only for undo/refitting) Tend to use rival Ideal connectors more often than Wagos.. I also thought the 221s had more solid orangey looking levers but those seem a bit brittle/faded/snapped-into-a-hoop looking things. Have they...

    Removing personalised number plate

    Their money, their choice tho, innit? They want to buy a Rolls and have it sprayed hot pink, let ‘em. I wouldn’t despair about it because it doesn’t really impact anyone else..

    How do I wire this a socket?

    “If the faceplate is metal and has a separate earth connector for the face, that should be linked up too” If the socket is plastic it definitely won’t have an earth terminal for the face If the socket face is metal it may have one and if it does have one, that should also be linked to earth as...

    How do I wire this a socket?

    Should perhaps also be mentioned that an earth core should run to the metal back box and, if the chosen socket faceplate is metal and it has a separate/dedicated earth connection for the face, that should be linked up to earth too Other detail I think would help: Make sure the power is off. If...

    Adjustment on folding patio doors

    On all the Aluminium ones I’ve ever encountered the rubber gasket is peeled out first, this loosens the bead enough for it to be knocked out by rotating it towards the glass (closing the gap that the rubber gasket was wedged in) Refitting is a reversal of removal. Soapy water will aid refitting...

    Dish Washer filling with water randomly

    Does the water in the dishwasher smell of laundry detergent? If the two appliances are plumbed into the same waste, and it is blocked slightly down stream, and there is no/damaged backflow valve on the dishwasher it’s conceivable that the washer pumping its waste water out could backfill the...

    What is causing these screw pops?

    Perhaps the screws are driven at an angle because there is a hard stop at some depth shorter than the screw For example you can drive a 120mm screw at 45 degrees into a 100mm piece of wood that’s screwed to a wall, but if you try drive it in at 90 degrees, it will stop after sinking 100mm...

    Angle grinder next time; the resin discs don’t suffer, and the metal dust bridging the cores makes a lovely coloured flash as the breaker pops

    Cut roof instead of trusses

    Finally found the detail I was after in all those pics EUR350 difference between 600 rafters and 400 rafters. Buttons in the grand scheme of things.. But if your calcs say 600 will be fine, go for it Maybe cost in the extra for thicker battens and see how it settles out

    Hole for shower waste (help/advice)

    Be reet. If you’re bothered, cut some 2x3 noggins to the width, load with glue, pass through the hole and screw in place through the chipboard, near to the noggin ends. Pre drilling the chipboard so the screw is loose in it with help the joint pull tight. Self reaming screws like Screwfix turbo...

    Can you get thin 22mm pipe insulation?

    Sounds like you have multiple pipe close together and close to wall? Go round the whole lot with a sheet of insulating material (tuck it down the back, wrap it up the front and tape together
