How about actual mortar? Piece of scrap timber below to keep it in place whilst it cures, then re-fit the light. You're probably never going to match the original mortar colour though, whatever you do, so it will annoy you forever :D

Have you got access to the ceiling from above? If lights on the ceiling are acceptable in theory, then why not just leave a coil of cable in the ceiling and then fit some spots when you know where you need them? Something like this...

Those....izmibations....look printed on to me. Ie, pretending to be ply.

A water-soluble finish for a bar top would deserve the Misleading Product Name of the Year award.

Whatever you do, assume that they will fail at some point and need replacing.

12V 1A is just about the most common DC PSU going. So I think your quest is to find one that fits in that outdoor box?

You've built a hefty-looking door there, should last you decades if you keep on top of the treatment. I do wonder how the previous door got to the state it's in, it looks reasonably well sheltered there.

Don't they lose their leaves over winter in the UK anyway? General approach with things that are "too big to move" is to sever as much of the roots one winter and then move it the next. Be prepared for it to die.

I am not 100% sure if it's fancy enough to have a drying cycle? Only one I've ever owned. Maybe they all do.

FWIW mine runs for 10 minutes and then another 10 minutes, 90 minutes later. I assume that there's some sort of thermostatic control in here, so would vary by time of year.

I reckon you could glue a batten to the end of the fence panel [eg a tiling batten]. Sit the panel on the batten to keep pressure on it whilst the glue dries. Use the ratchet strap you're going to buy to straighten the fencepost to put a bit more pressure on [but not too much, these panels tend...

It's the brand of beer that Homer Simpson drinks. opps thought it was a fictional beer, it was originally, but now it's available to buy [I've seen it in Lidl].
