    Extension (Roof) Insulation & Downlights

    If you’re after keeping a bit of a gap I dare say you’ll be able to find some “loft lid” type things that are flexible enough to be able to be fitted through the downlighter hole - perhaps even half a 2l pop bottle, cut down one side so it can be shaped smaller, fit through the hole and expanded...

    Cleva Lawnmaster collection box flap conundrum !!!

    I get it, honestly, I just think if all else has failed, reshaping the lid or adding a gasket or flap to it would be easier than making closing it a two step operation using a hook shaped thing that would get in the way forever more Can we have a video of the grass bin being fitted and an...

    Extension (Roof) Insulation & Downlights

    Are your GU10s halogen or led? “allowing an area around the fitting for ventilation” is exactly the problem you’re aiming to resolve btw; use cool running temperature bulbs and seal the hoods well I deliberately wasn’t specific about the kind of insulation, as that’s an exercise for the...

    Frustrating light switch swap

    Sure; your one rocker switch chooses between “dimmer in circuit” and “dimmer not in circuit” - live in COM, L1 out to lights direct, L2 out to dimmer in, dimmer out goes to switch’s L1 (to lights essentially) Then you have a switch that flicks between bright and dim, and a dimmer that chooses...

    Floating shelves: Install noggin around pipework?

    can you show a picture of the shelves? Seems like you’re not averse to taking a section of plasterboard out; make it a big section, affix eg 2x1 battens to the sides of the studs 22mm back from the face and screw in a sheet of 22mm ply If you cut the ply taller than the hole, insert the top...

    Dot'n'dab - fixings into the wall?

    Construction adhesives like No Nails/SticksLike are’t instant grab and will need some support while they cure It may be simplest to box your pipes with a single strip that goes across the corner at 45 rather than forming a 90 degree box with two strips

    Frustrating light switch swap

    Are you saying you want to have two switches on the bathroom light; one for you which is on/off full brightness, and one for her that is the dimmer so she can dim them? This is a convenience for you to quickly be able to swap the dimmer out of circuit?

    Square O rings?

    It’s possible to pay 7 quid for a cup of coffee from Starbucks If the o-rings are a solution to the problem, and mean you don’t have to spend hundreds replacing a tap/hiring plumber etc, 9 quid might not be unreasonable for a solution that turns up at your house I was appalled to see that loft...

    Cutting 20mm porcelain 600x900?

    I use a knife sharpening stone to put a tiny chamfer on the cut edge, minimises the look of any chips, works really well I too would recommend a wet cutting saw, and I regard the ones where the table and the workpiece slides and the saw is fixed as giving a better result than the ones where...

    soldering AAA batteries

    It’s a name for a specific technique; you can refer to anything using whatever terms you like, but if you want to have a productive conversation with someone you should really use the same terms.

    How do i get this to stick to glass?

    Reduce, reuse, recycle Freddy. Thought you environmentally conscious “plan buildings for the future” types would have been more on board with such than notions of adding more plastic to landfill/some whale’s nostrils
