Not much point insulating it then. Might as well buy a sheet of kingspan and lean it up on a random external wall somewhere for the same effect

important point this, especially if you’re going for (pure brilliant?) white. Doesn’t take much to make it look dirty, and areas protected from rainfall such as under windowsills can stay cleaner for longer, exacerbating/highlighting streaks

You might be able to get the tap to reassemble with round ones if you put a slight chamfer on the edge of the hole into which the O-ringed part is fitted. Silicone lubricant and a twisting option may also help but take care not to distort the ring as you twist

Just keep a perspective on the worth of your time Say you’re worth £50 an hour as an engineer, don’t paint a fence that you can pay your neighbour’s kid £10 an hour to do; doing it yourself means you’re costing yourself (by not working) £50 an hour, which is notionally the same as paying...

If you haven’t already, buy a trade-grade drill; my Bosch pro can wind screws in on high speed that my cheaper brand one can’t even drive on low speed The only time I’ll drop to speed 1 on my Bosch is when I’m driving eg a 6x150mm or longer On every decent cordless I’ve ever used they’re a...

Is it bowed?

Not surely, no. The beam only weighs ~150kg, and quarter of the roof maybe another 450kg Are you saying if you and five mates climbed up there to start fitting a roof, but sat next to each other for a coffee, then the wall would just plain collapse under your combined weights? If it would, it...

It’s a joke Cordless drills typically have a two speed gearbox. When the tradesman works on price, he uses the high speed gear to get done sooner and hence make more profit. When he works on a day rate he uses the low speed gear to elongate the job and make more profit

Can you take some clearer photos? Maybe set the timer and prop the phone up so you aren’t struggling to hold it still

The amount of work done by the battery in any given time is fully dependent on the position of the “day work/price work” switch

Translated sales blurb for that device, from https://www.ozon.ru/product/ustroystvo-zashchity-mnogofunktsionalnoe-rele-napryazheniya-uzm-50ts-uhl4-meandr-589513573/

You can get electronic remote controlled thermostat valves you could do at the tap of an app button. While you’re packing up in Spain to return home too, for example Google “smart tmv” or “wireless radiator valve” etc

If you’re drilling through an external wall drill at a slight angle so any water would have to run uphill to get in. For the lower hole take the wire down in an U shaped loop before going up to the hole. Any suitably xoooured silicone sealant will be fine, pull the ore out the hole slightly...

Turn your power off to the entire flat at the tripswitxh. Does the noise go away?

Jetwash it off the bricks soon as you can

Bumper looks a little misaligned too Check for further damage One of those lights on eBay, damaged in the same way, £85.. next cheapest is is undamaged condition, £258 Part number seems to be 80000418 If you report to insurance your premiums may rise (you’re an elevated risk because you...

Constant as in 24/7? Or “when it’s audible it’s for a few hours at a time”? Like a central heating pump?

You can pick up wood screws with a very aggressive, self tapping thread, eg Screwfix turbo series. You can also make screws similar by grinding part of the side of the tip off so the threads gain a sharp/flat; handy for driving screws close to the end without splitting and without pre drilling...

You’d probably install a cat6 these days Er. No And have two sockets in the office? If the single install is very difficult I’d probably just cut my losses and have a switch in the office if I needed more ports

Last time I had this problem I took the rough route of cutting down a wood screw to length and grinding the head smaller. Pete’s suggestion looks great, though you might need to shave/drill out the existing plastic lump down some..
