    Electric vans

    Pretty much all chargers take debit cards these days. Zapmap will help you find the chargers. You won't need it today.

    Electric vans

    You'll be fine today, looking at the maths of that, no problem at all. (...and anyway, there's public charging - not many 100 mile routes that don't pass a charger.)

    Maximum drainage pipe fall for rainwater

    I guess you mean: much more than 1:40 ? Personally I can't understand why a steep fall would increase the chance of blockage - generally a stream might block but a waterfall won't.

    Leaving grass in middle of slope and connecting to multi tool?

    Yes of course you can lie to whoever you are doing the work for. That would be stupid and dishonest - why not be honest about your knees, and use it as an opportunity for an agreement about a bit of managed rewilding? But essentially - why are you asking us rather than the people you do the...

    Tiling noob help needed.

    Just to answer one of your questions, if you use screws which are the right length to only screw into the floorboards, you'll not hit any underfloor pipes.

    Weed killing question

    Not exactly, you don't need to burn the leaves, you're just heating it enough to damage the cells. Different plants respond differently to having their leaves killed - dandelion is exceptionally resilient. gemshan1 - can you identify what the weeds are? ...and which weedkiller did you use and...

    Weed killing question

    If you are going to use weedkiller, it's important to read and follow the instructions carefully, in order for it to work. Something that does work is a flame weeder - it simply cooks the cells of the plant.

    Whats a realistic price for getting this hedge trimmed and tidied up?

    If it gets cut back into non-green branches, it will not grow back.

    Triple glazing and ventilation

    I think you're right - there really isn't a simple way to have ventilation and noise reduction at the same time, so the simple solution really is to avoid trickle vents, and just open the window for a short period of time - this also gives you a chance to smugly appreciate the 'turning off' of...

    Insulated plasterboard

    As an amateur, I would say go for it. You need to think about how the pipework will be long enough to get a fitting onto it in front of your new plasterboard. Maybe talk to the plumbers about that in advance. The current arrangement channels a lot of the heat behind the curtains, so I'd be...

    Advice For Newbie - Level And Re-Seed Lawn

    No need for more soil. Stakes and twine won't help with levelling. Don't bury the seed. Scatter it by hand. I've had problems in the past with poor grass germination from seed from a DIY shed - it might be worth thinking about getting hold of seed that's not too old. Once you've sown, you'll...

    USA's War Crimes

    Maybe it would have been good for the USA and the UK not to have overthrown democracy in Iran in the first place? Would you support the state of Iran overthrowing democracy in the UK, as a response if the UK government had nationalised Iranian company owned oilfields in the North Sea?
